---what about the expedition parked next to it??? looks great btw---brad

The expedition is not mine, it is just what got it home.

I think the axles are like 63" wide. Outside tire to outside tire is 83". The springs are 57" long from older Ford F150s.
I did a lot more fender cutting today, Im really itching to take it out. Ive owned it almost 2 years, and it hasn't hit the trials yet.

Chris

cool!

his brother and himself built it once, then he wanted bigger, scraped everything but the 350 tbi. i spent 8 months wrenching on it everyday. he helped on the weekends. dont get me wrong, my bro knows his stuff.
too much work and lack of time caused him to have it built agian. mike ladd took care of that

It took forever to get those tires off your truck. It almost cut into my drinkin' time. At the bar that is.

I still got you in the dirt drag race, mud, snow whatever. That $10 will weigh me down in my pocket when you try and get revenge so you mught wion the second time <IMG SRC="smilies/clown.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/flipoff.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/beer.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/beer.gif" border="0">

Try and fit it in the garage.. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

Yes Bent and Twisted (see add @ top of screen) fully get's it. Mike Ladd got busy on it for a few long nights and days no sleep....then I welded the rear shock mounts <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

it wont look so tall once that top is off. man is mine going to be that wide? <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0"> jiMMy

that cruizer is gay, my bronco rips it up
im x-treme

<IMG width=600 height=450 SRC="http://www.pirate4x4.com/ubb/uploads/P9140924.jpg">

Get it... <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

Damn, that Bronco looks badass with those tiny tires....bet you get looks driving it like that. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

the cruiser looks good! I dig the front bumper too... is that custom?

Been doing a lot of cutting. Top and doors are off and it sits a little better.
I am going to put an add-a-leaf in the front, and the overload spring in the rear. I think that should be ok.

Drove it to work today, 4 miles, probably the longest trip is as been on in the last 2 years.

Chris

Hey Chris..After you set the toe did the wobble go away? Its going to cleanup right?

Mike-

Oh ya I forgot to see if its ok to put up some pics of the project on my site. Hope your still happy with it. <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

Mike,

The toe was off about 1/2 inch (as well as I could measure with a ghetto yard tool and tape measure setup.) I fixed that and did a lot of tightning of every bolt I could get my hands on. I havent had the problem since.

Post all the pics you want. I don't know if its going cleanup, I may not have a way to get it there.

We are Gonna Have to Hook Up I want to Check this thing out
I live close

I wanna Look At the Springs Mostly

SnowBall What Year Are They!


Adam,

the springs are 78-86 ford f-150 they come in diffrent styles, and your gonna want the 2.5 inch wide leafs. the early broncos swap in the 3 inch springs
pat

Cool Thank's Bronco Boy

I will Start Looking for them!

Adam,

Ok I feel stupid for being the only one to ask this.

What is involved in the 60/14bolt rear set-up

Sounds like a good idea but how much ground clearance do you gain???

ok cliffhanger dont feel dumb, that is a viable question. the 60 my homo brother has in the rear is a dana 60 and it has 14 bolt ends. this allows 35 spline full float axles. chop off the spindals and press them on the 60 tubes, and weld, you use the hubs and spindals, can one say beefy.
i say go cheap and get a 14 bolt and fuck wasteing money. but my brother is gay <IMG SRC="smilies/rainbow.gif" border="0"> and just likes to be able to write 60s f/r <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

could I weld this up at home if I had a press big enough to press the ends on or do I still need a jig to align the spindles correctly ?

depends, i dont exactly know, im sure you should use a jig, well i think maybe
