Hey guys, Havent been around to much lately as im in university, but I am getting out in a month and the bronco 2 will begin to further its build. I have a thread up on BII.org that some of you may have seen but I cant get to much feedback there and I WANT ALL THE FEEDBACK I CAN GET,good or bad. Let me know what you think and give me some ideas if you can on areas I could maybe change or upgrade.
So I will start off with why I am building it, I went threw phase 1 and drove it as my dd when I was 16 and drove the sh!t out of it on and off road. It had 29"sx's and a 3 inch body lift, did ALL the body work with my dad and drove it around in primer for the longest time. Then when it became just a toy I started driving it harder and not caring if it was broken and it broke, bad.
Heres the story of its demise...
This is just a little hole I found one day, started playing and it was really fun.

Then I started to get brave and decided to drive the middle, That really didnt work out on my favour and ended up breaking a front axle and the clutch drown, then the engine slurped up a bunch of water as it was up to my mirrors. Heres a vid of a chevy with 9 inches of lift, lockers, 38s and 350hp in the same spot I tried...
