my $1500 Bronco II build

[K-Slice]

Who would ever pay 500 for that cut up so badly.

HA! Just what I was gonna say. For $100 more mine had a full body, lift, and explorer axles...

I personaly cut the rear quaters off and i still have them and i am putting them back on soon your from traverse I just moved to arizona from roscommon about two months ago. Just let me say that I can get alot more done now in this 80 sunny weather. Any way I got the new rims on and did the front brakes and shocks. I went to the local autoparts to find camber bushings and they only had one so I will pickup the other one in the morning. I have one question how does a aftermarket steering stabilizer hook up? any way heres some pics were I am at now. The future looks like a exocage and tube doors and to finish the 45 on the rear quaters and make a winch bumper.


The pics are of the blazer my father in law scored for 1200 it runs like a top and it has 95000 miles with a dana 60 front and dana70 rear and a 8000 pound warn winch

I say go with a different setup! D44TTB and a full width rear. Go with some huge extended radius arms, coilovers or air shocks and some crazy steering setup like the desert race trucks and the KOH rigs run on thier TTB's. There is also a guy over on Pirate with a kit to put a D50 ring and pinion in the D44 housing for extra strength.

If I was going to do it over again... it would either be that way, or Unimog axles.
