Well here are some pics and vids from the Uwharrie ride july 4th weekend.

My first attempt at on the hard line at kodak rock didnt turn out to well. Got on top of it and it started running out of gas. Acted like it had a carb on it. lol Was only getting air to the fuel rail so I dont know what the deal was. It was fine all day the next day though.







Second attempt crawled right up it since it stayed running. lol

Just a few questions about your SAS parts. I understand you used a "thatguy"/duff track bar bracket, duff lower coil retainers, and duff coil buckets.

Did you use the 78-79 bronco radius arms PN 5351? Is your axle moved forward at all?
What coil springs are you using and how much lift did the give you?

Yep used the 78-79 radius arms that come with a frame mount for c channel frame. Other one come with a different frame mount that won't work with c channel frame.

Axle is pushed forward around 1.5 inches.

Used the duff 5.5 EB springs. It's probably sitting at around 7-8 inches of lift. I love the springs. Rides great on the road and still flex and work awesome off road.

It drives a lot better on the road then most think it would. I drive it like a sports car. lol

it's about damn time!

nah, i'm just bugging you, that bumper actually looks really good! low profile, not gaudy, and doesn't interfere with your approach angle
