Oh this bronco is awesome! Is this a one off rear suspension or is there somewhere I can buy the arms?

Not a lot of changes, I kept the internal bypass for now. I have someone who says he can make them work well. Organizing the interior with storage bins, a yeti, and race jack. Putting the spare outside on a removable hitch mount. A lot of people say it won't work but not enough space to keep it inside and if it breaks I will strap it to the roof. Going out to TDS to play with the jeeps and then it will get torn apart for new rearend, dash, and more HP.....I have a low mileage LS1 that might find it's way under the hood!
I will post some pics of before and after.

Making a few changes to the Bronco. Adding a Currie 9" widened to match the front, Fox 3.0 bypass and coilovers on all 4 corners, and Autofab motor/trans mounts. Also added a BD Onyx lightbar on the front.

What the heavy looking machined ear for? Are those the new attachments for the rear links? Pretty sweet changes btw. Can't wait to see how you like it.

I am looking forward to getting it back. I was going to do a few more things but wanted to use it before the desert gets to hot, might be to late.

I actually got to see this truck when it was at Southwest way back. One of my inspirations. Truck is killer and design and craftsmanship is top notch.
