Quick Update: I got my stuff in from Tom's Bronco Parts today. Adjustable Track Bar, And C-Bushing set.

Still waiting on the stuff from Ballistic Fab.

Here's the new wheels I picked up. Thanks to Tanbuddy.
Though not as sexy as the old Alcoas, they get it done till i get some steelies w/ beadlocks. They are 15x8.5.

Got my stuff from Ballistic Fab today... after all that waiting, they sent me the wrong parts! I ordered the y-link steering, and they sent the TREs for the cross-over kit.

The track bar mount is really nice though. The laser cutting is super clean.

Sorry, I haven't updated in a while. No actual building yet, but I did get a few more parts.

Warn Premium hubs, Disc outers, 5.13 9" gears, and finally got some bucket seats.

Bucket seats from a Mazda Mazdaspeed Protege. $50

Once I go pick up my 9", get rear springs and shackles I'll start actually building, should be later this month.

If you dont mind my asking, what did you pay for the Warn premiums? I need to pick some up and I have been shopping.

 

[UrbanRedneckKid]

$50 shipped used from another forum user.

I got some work done this weekend,
Got the front axle stripped down, primed and painted.
I used heavy-duty tractor restoration paint from TSC, with a zinc primer for rust protection.

I also finally pulled the disc outters outta the box they were shipped in.

I'm ordering balljoints, hubs, bearings, and rotors tomarrow from rockauto.com, hopefully I can get the knuckles on soon.

Long awaited update:

Haven't really gotten much done. To much other stuff goin on.

Seats are in, fabbed em up to fit the ranger brackets.

New trans crossmember is built and installed with the 78 Bronco radius arm mounts.

Front brake lines were rerouted to run down the frame rail then down the DS radius arm.

The axle is "under" the truck, but I lost the bolts for the radius arm caps... oops.

And I started to build the front bumper.

I'll get some pics up as soon as I can.

Passenger's seat, pics after install.

The driver's seat had a bent pan, the seats came from a rolled car. I took the lower cushion apart, bent it back, the put the seat back together. The brackets I made up were really simple, and are pretty strong.

The seats are in now. They are very comfy, and sit maybe an inch higher than my old seats.
