Brad's '94

Figured I might as well create a build thread, even though I really haven't done anything significant (especially compared to all the GoFast rides on this site!). Who doesn't like looking at pictures?
I got my bronco during the end of my junior year of high school and it got me all the way through college. I got it with the expectation that it would be a learning process as I would be doing all the work myself. It is my daily driver and I have really never had any major issues with it. Originally I was into having a trail worthy vehicle so I put a 6 inch Superlift with extended radius arms and a sky shackle flip on it. It remained unchanged until this last summer (2010) when I really decided that having a GoFast bronco is what I really want(ed) so I decided to treat myself to some Deavers. That is pretty much the story so far, eventually the plan will be coilovers, C&T beams, and all that jazz. I'll let the pictures say the rest:
Specs:
1994 Bronco XLT 5.8
6 inch Superlift front
Deaver J40s rear
extended brake lines front and rear
35X12.50X15 BFG M/Ts
15X10 Steel ProComp wheels
3.55 stock gears
herculined/sound deadening
napa ball joints
timken wheel bearings and seals
The day I brought it home, it had been in a collision hence the wood front bumper...
Very first project was Herculining the interior...
Didn't stay stock for long, 6 inch Superlift...
Shackle flip, terrible ride because I was young(er) and dumb(er) and never set the shackle or pinion angle properly...
Wheeled with it like that for awhile....
Got tired of not having carpet and of the noise, so I threw some peel'n'seal and carpet back in...
about 5-6 years later the only changes have been the deavers and stock shackles, a properly set pinion angle, and the correct bumper...
looks like most of the pictures of this install are still on my camera, but unfortunately I lost the cord to get them on my computer, so here is a picture from my phone...
And as it currently sits (I had the hood popped opened)...
Well thanks for taking the time to check out my build thread, it's really more of a place for me to keep a time line of everything I've done so far than a real build thread haha.
Long live the 92-96 front end!!!
