So I've been lurking around here for over a year and had my bronco almost the same amount of time. I've wanted one of these since I was a kid. I finally decided to bite the bullet sitting on top of a ridge in So Cal, eating MREs for the third day in a row, deciding which tree would be my next victim, and watching inmates cut hand line on the annual LA urban renewal burn. I'm posting this up more as a motivation tool than anything else, so just tear me apart a little at a time.
She's been sitting on jack stands way too long and I'm going to dive in! I scored a great set of full width axles and tires out of a full size (Thanks Chuck!)
The front has an ARB, 4.56 gears, chromolly shafts with CTMs. The rear has a Strange case with an ARB, 4.56s and 35 spline shafts.
The tires are 37x12.5x15 MTRs for now.
The motor is a stock 302, with a 5.0 sitting on a stand awaiting a rebuild.
For a trans, I picked up a Dodge NV4500 and am still trying to decide/find a good T case.
An Aero 23 gallon tank is sitting off to the side and just waiting for EFI.
The body is in great shape. That is primarily why I picked it up after looking at many buckets 'o rust!
The Lincoln buzz box I had just wouldn't cut the mustard on the axles and frame stuff so I just got a Miller 180. Welds great for my application and is a little smaller than the bigger 250 to move around the garage. Strangely my hammered dog crap welds are just bigger now.....
So a big thank you to all who have helped me this far and great to meet all of you. Nick
