Dude - that's like the people that move in right next to the airport and complain about noise.... the mud is terrible, I'm starting a new build as it will be easier than cleaning this truck.

I assumed that the "04" was a keyboard slip and its a 2024? They put that zero right next to the two and it;s a big button. lol

Took the Bronco out over the weekend and ran the Geiser loop. Really wet and sloppy and a single blown fuse was the only issue all day! I posted some videos on my Instagram. Micheal_Honcho

I've got a Lincoln 256 MIG and a Miller Dynasty 200 TIG. Super happy with both and would recommend either. The Millers gotta be 15 years old now and still doesn't miss a beat. Hoping for the same luck with the Lincoln.

Thanks for the extra detail. Good to hear that you seem to have it worked out!

Nice Bronco! Super clean. Welcome to the site

Can you explain the insert and it allowing it to bleed? I've done brakes with the handheld vacuum, and I've seen gravity bleeding one with a single hose into a bottle of fluid, but I can't quite wrap my head around your system.

Your bronco looks killer. I'd say 90% of the time, the first trip ends with a broken something. Can I ask what may have caused the break of the tie rod? I executed the first steering rod poorly, and was pushing the truck pretty hard. About 60-65 MPH through some pretty good bumps. I used 1.5 x.120 ...

Did you ever find what you needed? I think I have some 2.0 x 8.5" coil overs off a pro-lite in my parts bin if you still need shocks.

Dude - I love the way this thing is turning out.

Broke the steering rod with the bend in it. Murphy's Law also dictated that when the broken parts went tumbling under the truck it would center punch the oil filter and wipe that out. lol

Broke some stuff we could fix...
stocked up on desert karma.
Then broke some stuff we couldn't fix....

loaded up and rolled out! koh bound.png made it! koh.png High fived my bronco bro. We made a bet the year prior committing to have both Broncos there this year. We both won. bronco bros.png having it out for the first time was awesome....it's been in the works a lonnnnnnngggggggg time.... koh2.png

Put the seats and "interior" back in the truck to complete the (opposite of a) luxury prerunner feel interior.png Fabbed up a quick spare tire mount just so I'd have one out at KOH. I want to build a dual swing out rack later but this fit the need and the timeline. quick rack.png At this point it wa...

threw in some more wiring!
then fabbed up the twin stick operation
I can jam it in and out of 4H on the fly. 4L is on the co-dog side. If we need 4 low he's probably getting out anyway.....

more coolers and radiator gaurds
fabbed up a cross member
......at this point we were in crunch time to KOH - full panic had set in

Then it was time to put all these parts I've been hording for 15 years back on the truck!
Plumbing and wiring going back in
Bolting shocks and panels in
