Welcome to the site Henry! That is a great looking truck you have, please make yourself at home here.

Way to go! Welcome to the site! If youve done all that you can do what is done here. I've gone coilover and I can say I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. Not the worst but definately not the best.

[yikes]

Welcome Henri! Glad to see you here. The Bronco has come a long way since I last saw it. Looking forward to seeing more of your photos. You've got some beautiful country there.

Thanks guys.......yes Yikes , it´s been too damn long to re build my truck..(almost 1 year).....that´s because I work alone and sometimes you nned to wait for help...hahah....and importing parts is too complicated in my country....I´ve been waiting some parts for more than 3 months sometimes (they should be here in 40 days).....since you last saw it I swaped the Toyota Turbodiesel engine for the 400" ....the trans was toyota too, and now is ZF5 and NP205.....did the SAS too.....and re-build the interior and now I´m recovering at home cos I had a surgery in my low back (Lumbar vertebral hernia)...and now I have a Solid Back too ...so I have to be away from any mechanic work for a couple of months.....but I think that in a couple of weeks I´ll be taking my truck to a workshop to install both ARBs and the rock sliders.....

Henri, this is the introductions section. It you want to show off your ride, start a thread in the "Rides" section so everyone can see it.
