Mike's Ocho Cuatro Bronco build aka White Lightning

Too simple as in two bushing one with a 5/8" hole for a hitch pin (like the tire swinger)

I hope the bushing's don't flex too much and make a floppy mount.

Hmmm... Yeah, hard to say but it looks really good. Curious to see how it works out. Seems waaay stronger than stock. I literally peeled the tailgate on my '96 back like a coors light can

I was thinking, when I do mine, mounting off bumper, but with the bushing facing up (kinda like stock swing motion?) IDK, it's funny cause I like seeing stuff like this now, almost more than a lot of LT setups. Someone's always coming up with some cool spin on it and I'm always changing my mind. My buddy Brian made a sick one for his scrambler and it took me like 5 minutes to figure it out in person... Back to drawing board ha ha

Ended up making some bungs and using some 5/8's heims I had lying around instead of a busing.

What do you think?

I like it!

Will it have a similar bumper hold down thing like the other to keep the cantilevered end up/secure?

Identical just vertical not horizontal. Uses the same hitch pin too for simplicity.

Hope to have a few more trips under my belt before then as well.

Got one coming up in two weeks if anyone is going to the More 500 for the weekend with no chasing responsibilities.

Mike how'd it hold up in the dirt any rattling????

only1mikey · Post by **only1mikey** » Mon May 21, 2012 8:34 am

Don't know had to miss this trip on a account of me not having enough time to get the bronco properly prepped before moving into my new casa.

And that tube isn't cut to length yet. I made it extra long so I had plenty of room.
