Feeding the monster.... RObert hooked me up big time and picked this up for me from a local eBay seller:

Part of the tire mount.

I see you got your rear end some support to help it sagging in the middle...

And you're more than welcome....was right around the corner from my house...pretty much

This bronco is so clean! I like the simple truss, effective but not bulky with added unsprung mass. I've seen a few failed 8.8s and most failures were from broken plug welds and I have seen one bent pretty bad near the diff housing so I'm sure that by towing the two tubes together and then to the diff it should avoid that type of breakage. Plus looks like it strengthens the shock mounts too which is cool.

Thanks Kyle, the purpose was really to keep it together for last weeks trip to Baja. Working on building a 9" for it now.

I actually bought semi gloss pant and used a roller. Did that about 2 or 3 yrs ago. Was not too hard to do, and cleaned it up. Let me know when you feel like doing and I'll lend a hand.

Are you going to use the.southwest perf vss relocation kit?

It was between Mark's which I have heard great things about or the leduc version. Nick has a leduc one he is cutting me a deal on so will likely go that route.

That reminds me to buy a new VSS and see if thats been my weird idle issue, thanks for that heads up by the way.

Minor update, no pictures.........

After carefull thought into all of the build, decided to go with a Currie Extreme Duty housing for the bigger axle tube and thickness. Placed order for it this week. Will be standard width. Unfortunately the axles I recieved from Yukon are standard replacement axles for a stock 9" Bronco Housing which have a backspacing intended for drum brakes. My options are now limited tostock drum brakes, going to a custom setup with likely no parking brake or the Wilwood setup with internal parking brake. Weighing those options out now while the housing is built!

Can't Currie set it up with Explorer Discs?

the currie housing is a way better choice. the axle offset you have is one of the most common. so a brake kit should be pretty easy.
