Woodys BII build-ish

[Hahnsb2]

Nah he's been pretty busy with work lately.

 

[WoodyB2]

Not yet. Like Hahn said I have been working 7 days a week, 8-10 hours a day. I haven't had time to do much of anything recently. I'm still waiting on the carb rebuild of the blue truck so I can drive that everyday, then I can do what ever I want to do with the bronco.

Once I start driving Ol' Blue I will get at least the axles under her as soon as possible,to clear up my garage space then get my drive lines made and in...then we need to set up a browns camp run, so i can break something...preferably not a window again.

Time to dust off this thread, starting tomorrow i am going to start the lift/axle swap...pics will follow


edit: just went out to charge it up (it has been sitting for a while due to a blown tranny), and sure enough the floorboard is now a lake, and the cab is all full of mold... great!

 

[Grunizzle]

sweet dude its about time!

 

[WoodyB2]

Well some progress today, got the rear end out. Then got my new beltechs on...then proceed to waste time doing nothing the rest of the night cause i didn't want to spend anymore time on the cold ass concrete of my garage. Also expanded my vocab of profanities while under the bronco undoing all the hardware.

this pic is before i put more jack stands under her. (taken just seconds after dragging out the axle)

mine is sitting almost the exact same way in my garage right now. i have the front lift on, so it's just a little higher.

your working fast though. looks like none of those bolts gave you trouble. i had to cut the front spring hanger bolt on the driver side b/c the damn bolt was rusted almost solid.

Yeah the bolts are not to bad the only ones i had to grind were the ones today on the leaf springs.

I didn't get a whole lot done due to getting out in the garage later then i wanted. but here you go.

a pic of the shackles on

the only bolts so far that have given me a lot of trouble, so out comes the grinder.

 

[WoodyB2]

Well after a "little" issue with my jack stands and some help from Hahn i have my rear end in!

Hardware from RuffStuff

got her turned around so I have more room to work on the front.

I'll get some better pics later, the pics of the "hot rod rake" didn't turn out to well. I also got a new Job so that limits my time to work on it during the week.

 

[WoodyB2]

here's a better pic...now need to start on the front

 

[Grunizzle]

nice work man, get going on the front!!

Planning on starting on the front today after work, still have some good working time cause I get off work at 330. But yeah, plan on tearing into the front end today.

 

[KTM RAPTOR]

Looking really good man. Very nice build thread. Your giving me some motivation for my build!!

Best of luck, keep up the good work.

 

[WoodyB2]

Well after doing nothing on the bronco for a while i finally started again...didnt get a whole lot done today but at least i did something...

I almost have the front end out, just have the radius arms left...here is the pic for you guys.

 

[88_Eddie]
