Matt's Bronco
Didn't post any build pics, here it is today. Running and driving great. Solo Motorsports front coilover setup with Kings, airbumps and straps, cut and turned beams. 4.56 gears with Detroit rear and posi up front, all new bearings, etc. 35" Nitto Muds on 17" Methods wheels. Got a little crazy with the front bumper, sticks out farther than I was planning. Plenty of things still to do.

Re: Matt's Bronco
Thanks. Planning on upgrading the steering next, stock is loose. Hopefully Santa brings a light bar!

Re: Matt's Bronco
Yup, dig the wheels.Those things look rad on just about anything is my opinion. haha
So tempted to grab a set of 17's for the crew, but the 90's alcoas just seem to fit the old skool look so well.
As for the bumper - it's deceiving! In the 1st 2 pics I was wondering how it stuck out further than you wanted, but that 3rd pics makes it look pretty big. Could just be angle on any of the pics though, either helping or hurting the "stick out" look.

Re: Matt's Bronco
Need a new steering box first. From doing research it looks like I need to do an equal length steering setup with this kind of suspension travel. My last Bronco was a solid axle so steering was easy to fab, this would definitely push my skill level.

Re: Matt's Bronco
I'm sure an equal length setup would work good but what about a swinger steering setup since your not equal length?
