Re: New Project Bronco

I will be converting them to 8 lug and adding disk brakes, I am going to hallow out a set of unit bearings for the flange then run mid 70's chevy roters. I have a set of H2 rims with 40" tall bald MTR's for mock-up. Tomorrow I will be talking with the brother-in-law (own's a job shop, machine shop) and father-in-law about running the standard axles, narrowing the axles 3-4" (short side on the front and long side on rear) or if they think Mog9's would be the best way to go. I would like to keep the track width to 80-83".

Re: New Project Bronco

Not much to add pictures of but decided to copy some of crawlin68. I just picked up a set of 2.47 gears and a HD 9" housing to start the mog 9 for the rear and will be adding one to the front as well. I will be modifying the frame for extra up travel but will rase up the rear 2 body mounts as well. I will have a 2" body lift so it will let me delete the rear 4 pucks. So once I get the frame done I will post some pictures and should start taking the mog axles appart as well.

Re: New Project Bronco

found the gears on ebay for $60 delivered, it does have a lot of meat to it.

Re: New Project Bronco

Well took a page frome PDX / Josh and played with paint a little. I grabbed one of "House's" pictures as his colors are similar to what I want to use. So here is the picture of close to what I am building.

Re: New Project Bronco

Sweeeeet! Its going to look badass! I need to get this uncut done so I can get started on mine!!!! Yours will definitely be the "enhanced" version of mine as I am probably going to stay with half ton stuff for now on it (budget) unless I can unload mine to fund.

Re: New Project Bronco

I will be running 9" center sections so kind of 1/2 ton . It is starting to come together with parts. Should be cutting the frame in the next few weeks.
