Old No. 2
Well finally got a few pics of my POS as the wife liked to call it, its a slow start but finally gathering some parts and getting a little fab work started. Mastercraft 3G seats, some HELLAs ,started on the front bumper and moving on to the rear, trimmed the quarter panels, had a tow bar also fabbed up so I can flat tow it behind the RV or F250, new YT optima, fixed some of the wiring from the previous owner, added a chase radio, wiring for a CB was already there so I just cleaned it up and added one I had lying around, new head liner, needs new weather stripping for the windows. Crazy how dry they are, even scratching the rear window its so bad.

Re: Old No. 2
I had the same issue, nothing worth buying till I committed to doing it my self. Frusterating but after the long haul of doing it myself, well worth the effort. Everything is the way I decided to do it. FUn and frusterating all at the same time.Cactus Cooler wrote:Its funny when I was looking, I couldn't find anything for sale.

Re: Old No. 2
Few more things added, a little at a time. Picked up some 3G seat and mounted them ( RV/VAN seats had to go, although extremely comfy. haahaaa) Baja Elite GPS, got the skid plate mounted. Still working on the Rear bumper, pickup 5 KMC Enduro at the last swap meet and got the 35" Yokohama tires mounted. Mostly cosmetic stuff, think I might start with the cage before I go with the Long travel stuff. Although always looking for deals.. What I am looking for is 456 or 488 gears Front/Rear Strang or Yukon 9" pumpkin. If anyone has an idea of someone selling...thanks

Re: Old No. 2
New stuff:[/b]
Chipping away at the Bronco parts list. Picked up some more parts yesterday, got the Threat 4" beams, radius arm w/mounts, axels and a cross over steering ( Thanks Dave), replacement heavy duty beam pivots from SOLO ( thanks Bobby ), picked up the AutoFab bedsides and 2" wheel spacers from Andy ( thanks Andy, sorry it was so late ).
[b]Still on the list:[/b]
I think next on the list is the cage from SOLO ( I got to get a good look at it in person as I was at his shop yesterday and really like what I see. Great platform and plenty of head room for front and rear seating)
Some 2.5 Coil overs from FOX for the front and a 3 FOX Bypass w/ Deavers and shackles for out back and I'm ready to tear into the suspension.

Re: Old No. 2
YAY!!!
I bet I know where you're getting your FOX from? Make sure you install your rear springs and drive down to Bill before ordering your bypasses. He told me he would order them custom to suit the ride height rather than "off the shelf".

Re: Old No. 2
Finally a little progress on the rear bumper, almost done just some plating, dimple die, figuring out spare tire/jack/cooler rack for the swing out gate and then paint. Oh and possibly going to make the 2x6 box into air storage tank for a little on board air compressor. Probably over thinking it, Hahaaa!

Re: Old No. 2
Kind of grows on you, My last Bronco was also Brown. The wife named it, not sure if was because this was my second brown Bronco or because she thought it was a piece of s#!t when I brought it home? I'd like to think it's because it was my 2nd. Broncorobertcrav wrote:Nice!! I like the brown...

Re: Old No. 2
Thank......Few more pics, just need to cap the ends and my thought was to add a removable spindle to each corner for the tire gate (double swing) or invert the spindle and make it part of the gates. I really don't want to have them on all the time as for the reason for making them removable.
