My 83 Bronco Trail Rig

[Deviousfred]

Here is what I currently use to go wheeling. It does fairly well considering its not much more than a lightened Bronco on 35's with stock gearing. It has a 300ci inline 6, C6 trans, and NP208 t-case.

In the very near future:
-Softer, Longer Coil Springs
-Heim'd, Extended Radius Arms
-Welded D50 Center Section Swap w/ Stub Shaft (4.10s)
-Lincoln Lock the rear and swap in 4.10s
-Remove overload spring from leaf spring packs
-F-250 Shock mount mod with longer shocks


I would say I have 70% of the parts to do the listed modification, the only thing I am really missing is time.

This is the Bronco when I picked it up for $500

Pulled the motor to replace rear main seal and upgrade to the EFI dual exhaust manifolds. Also took some time to clean it up and give it a new look.

Built a set of half doors for it

Gutted the interior and moved all my electronics inside

Shakedown off-road run

That is one of the coolest looking 300's I have ever seen. I'm guessing that's bed liner on the valve cover,pullys, etc..?

Its actually wrinkle spray paint they sell at Autozone. I enhance the effect by setting it in the sun then baking it in the oven when it has reached the desired wrinkle.
