Re: Ryan's '96
Hey Ryan did you build your engine, or did someone here in AZ build it for you?

Re: Ryan's '96
It was built by David kennedy for Off-Road Magazine then i bought it from him when he moved on to a Diesel project. He put the whole truck together, ive added finishing touches over the last 5 years.

Re: Ryan's '96
Im going to do my best to make everyone happy which usually ends up making everyone mildly satisfied haha.
Selling the bronco is not a priority but i do want a vehicle thats more suited to family/road trips.
Something capable but not full kill offroad. Does this make any sense?!
The bronco does have its purpose but i need an in between vehicle i can daily drive and take the fam on trips that arent just go fast thrash runs.
We went to sedona a month ago and the bronco was overkill for that. Its loud, gets shit mileage and frankly smells a little haha.
With any luck ill find something else and just keep the bronco for boys trips.

Re: Ryan's '96
Summertime prep is well underway starting on the rear replace both calipers I have a leaking Hub seal on the passenger side I'm going to wrap up and it looks like I need new bushings in my shackles.
Is there a difference in ride height from the j40 to the q80 Deavers?

Re: Ryan's '96
RyanDS650X - can you snap a picture of your camburg shackles? And, how much did you have to cut that rear body cross member in order to get them to cycle cleanly?
