I was over at Bronco Alley today to check the progress on Lee's bronco. :cool:

It's called the Barbie mobile.

mmm YUMMY.. love the painjob :D

It uses a 9/60 front end and a 9/mog rear end.

sssssssshhhhhhhhhwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeettttttttttttttt tt:D

Just bronco skins. (cool idea :flipoff2:)

351w with GT40 F.I., nv4500, Klune v, atlas 1.

Those 38"s look big for some reason. :confused:

104" w.b.

Sounds like allot for a HP9.
Sure look sweet though.

I assume your'e talking about the rear end. It's std. rotation flipped upside down. It spins backwards, car goes forword because of 'mog reduction boxes. :D

Nice! Whats the story on that nine inch. That looks like a Strange gear case... Is Strange making a HP 9" or is that axle flipped, and if its flipped how it the pinion being oiled??

Ok so its got Mog ends... Still, how is the pinion going to get oiled??

What is he going to use for rear brakes?

WOW!!

That's a nice rig....Very impressive :eek:

It's a std. rotation Strange, flipped and the oiling is a secret ;)

Just like mine. 9" disk on the pinion (not shown).

Just out of curiosity, what makes you refer to these fine beasts as Broncos? Is there REALLY anything Bronco-esque in there other than a clip, maybe the VIN plate, and pedals? Or is it the prinicpal of the thing, like the Crusah?

The pedals aren't from a bronco either! :)

Early Broncos rule! It's amazing how many of them are popping up in commercials, movies and TV shows nowadays!

I think they're Champion on M/T wheels

Lee's rig has been evolving for quite some time, it started as a full EB, I think the sheet metal and front 2/3 or 1/2 of the frame is still "original".

I knew Tim was going to do drastic changes to it , but DAWM, that is looking Sweet!!

Why portal rear, and standard front? 'course, my junk gives me no right to criticize, but I think if I was going to build something like that I'd try and use front and rear portals, is it an engine clearance thing?

preaty in pink..................mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm who does't like pink

Gorgeous. That is some fine work!!

its a bronco...... just like a friggin nascar is a monte carlo, t bird, yada yada......


sweet lookin BRONCO "buggy"

I dig the La-z-boy seats.:D

:D That's frickin tight!!!!

I gotta agree those look bigger than 38".. more like 40-42".

So whats the story? Are these some top secret 40-42" SXs? :D

I'm crying because i used to droll over Lee's old EB...then JR came along... I remember when Lee said He'd NEVER do that shit to his rig... poor bastard just raised that bar for me AGAIN... maybe I'm the poor bastard...

maybe the tires look big because the rig isnt sitting on the ground ??

I wondered the same thing. No doubt Bronco Alley's influence.
The Barbie Mobile has the motor in the stock location, right over the front axle unlike mine which has been moved back 16" to allow room for the portal axle. Lee said he is afraid he would turn it over backwards if the engine was moved back ( 104"! :confused: ) which is what needs to be done unless you want the thing really high.
It will be higher than what's in the pics. I looked under the front, there is no oil pan on it and the front axel is almost into the connecting rods. Maybe with the money he saved from not doing a portal front axle will go torwards a dry sump. Tim (Bronco Alley) has been talking about using a dry sump oil pump in a 'crawler for a while. The engine can set closer to the axle because of thinner oil pan. I'll have to ask him sometime.
The rear axle is a non-steering Ford 9"/unimog hybrid. It's cheaper and easier to build than a steering axle because custom axle shafts aren't required. Just cut and respline the 'mog shafts, they are big enough, and you are good to go. Lee said it wasn't for monitory reasons that he went with the mix-match. I guess one portal is better than none. The front 9/60 (Ford9" center, d60 outers) is cool enough though. :D

And the tires... come on guys, your'e just used to seeing a full size EB. Theyr'e 38(.5)s :D

Lee would never back down from a mod because it was expensive...he is basically made of the Green stuff.

I think the reasoning on this miz/match is because Lee has always been a propnent of the theory that the reason EB's climb so well is their axle placement directly under the motor. He likes how it climbed from the factory so he kept that setup. He also didn't WANT a steering axle in the rear because he never wanted his EB to be a buggy/creation (a little late for that now I think, but to each his own).

His rig will perform well, he has been building capable rigs for the last 5+ years in his garage with his own fab skills which are formidable.

I would definetly assume that his EB will get the dry sump...he's been talking about it for a while... haven't talked to him recently, but I assume he'd rather spend the money that way than go any higher on the lift...it already looked pretty tall to me.

Isn't that rear reverse rotation? Therefore isn't it an 8.8 diff? Gonna be the weak link with those tires.
BTW, I love that Bronco;)

Mark Williams sells an oil pump to pump oil up to the pinion support bearings. This could be how they are doing it.


http://emporium.markwilliams.com/prodinfo.asp?prodid=2024

exactly what is left of the original bronco? I'm guessing frame and some body parts right? is that it? will this be street legal?

Tim and Lee came over to my place a few weeks ago and were crawling around my *bronco* for an hour or so while we had a few :beer: Lee seems like a nice guy. I've known Tim for years. Tim doesn't have a 'puter and Lee is too far away from his.
I've told most of what I know, anything else would be guessing on my part, which wouldn't be fare to them. Maybe Lee could elaborate on his bronco when he gets home. :)

I had the pleasure of meeting Tim a few weeks ago... Super nice guy, seems like the quiet genius type. I guess this rig proves it!

Think its a standard 9 running backwards.

Even if it was an 8.8 with the sort of diff ratios hed be running in the pumpkin (I guess something like a 3:1) with the portal reduction outers I dont think it would ever give any trouble.

Bloody sweet rig.

Hey Strange Rover, What's it like 'wheeling down under anyway? No doubt, you are 'wheeling when we are sleeping.
Is there a lot of rocks to play on? Is the land use very restrictive? I guess there are rockcrawling comps just like there are in the U.S.A.:beer:

We do have comps but not like your rockcrawling comps yet, but it will come. I think that we are defintely moving towrds what you guys are doing.

Its only in the last couple of years that we are starting to get purpose built rigs and not modified daily drivers and tourers. And with this has also come some bigger tyres (38+).

Now we are are starting to see some rigs with bigger axles (there would only be 2 or 3 competition rigs in OZ with front D60s that I know of) and this trend will definately continue. (I got a front D60, rear D70 , 302W, BW T18 and a LT95 (rover transfer case with 3.3:1 gears) sitting in my shed for my next build up)

Our TTC is on next week (im going down to spectate) and this comp would have most of the best built rigs in OZ competing (except mine :D - I just couldnt go down there with my D44s and 42s :nuke: ).

Heres a pic of some our local rockcrawling. We do have lots of rocks but not the huge expanses that you guys drive on. We are finding more all the time.

Hey sam, thats a cool lookin' rig. I cant wait to see it "buggied"! Only one problem tho, you're sitting on the wrong side:p

I just got back into town so I thought I would reply to some of the questions about my truck. Thanks John for posting them and fielding some of the questions.

The reason I went portal rear and conventional front was to keep the weight low. The motor sits in its stock (horizontally) location, but it has been dropped 2 inches from stock. This allowed me to get the crank center down to 31.25 inches at ride height with 38.5 swampers. The pics that were posted ARE at ride height. I also wanted the front axel under the engine. Not sure if its right or wrong, but I was trying to keep most of the weight biased to the front end in hopes of it climbing better. Most of the climbing success I give to stock bronco's and Toyota's I believe is due to the weight bias. Most ARCA rigs sure seem to be going to way as well.

It IS street legal here in Texas due to it being classified as an "Antique Vehicle" and not needing inspection.

Believe it or not they are 38.5 SX's. I really dig the cushy seats as well, they are out of a 97 Cobra Mustang and it is 100% bronco (in spirit anyway).

What the heck is wrong with calling it a bronco?? It rolled off the essembly line in 1972 as a Bronco and its been one ever since. The VIN says it is, the state says it is, and the title says it is. Yes its modified and there is not much factory Ford left, but big deal.

If anyone is curious they just ran a artical in this months Petersons about it in its old state (they are a little behind I guess). Looks quite a bit different now. I have some more current pictures than what John posted if anyone can tell me how to get them on here.

AWESOME RIG MAN!!!

Oh yeah... :flipoff2: welcome newbie!

John's has a prudier color :D

Lee, E-mail me the new pics, i will post them ASAP.

FYI, DAMN!!!! i dig the new low look, i need to play catch up with you 2, but i think i maybe hit up Fat city for the work

here are the pics.

sorry, 2

4, i dig the color.

That thing is sweet!!!!!!

BTW, What is the body width on that thing? How much did you narrow it?

The chassis is 8" narrower, the front has been narrowed 13" and the rear 14.5"

Looking good, Lee. What's left to do on it ?

5.27(rear end) x2.7 (klune) x3.5 (atlas) x 6.4 (nv4500)=
318:1 :eek: is this correct?
BTW, welcome newbie! :flipoff2:

Thanks John! Not too much left. Mostly little stuff. I still need to finish up the floor panels, build a dash, wiring, fuel lines, brake lines, diff straps and exhaust. I will probbly do some sway bars as well.

Are you running sway bars on yours? I thought I saw a rear, but do not remember a front. If so do you leave the rear attached while wheeling?

Actually my NV4500 is the 5.89 first gear so its only a 293:1 crawl.

Nice, looks low and mean.

I use a sway bar in the rear only, all the time, weather it's 'wheeling or on the trailer :D Your's might be OK without a sway bar. 'Wheel it first and see if it needs one.

Maybe I'm blind, but I didn't see you say anything about how you're oiling your pinion. Are you using the Mark Williams setup or did you guys figure out some way of doing some oil journals inside the housing? I've never looked at a 9" seriously until now with the portal outers.

Ssshhh... it's a secret.

SO how much does it cost to mate the portals to the axle? I have some 44's laying around and was thinking of gettign some portals to put on them...

Tim from Bronco Alley built the internals on mine that make it oil properly. I would hate to divulge any secrets that are not actualy my property to share.

As far as the cost of the portal swap I do not have an exact figure for you. We did allot of horse trading for the entire project so sorry to say that I can not help much there either. I am sure he would be more than willing to build a few more very reasonable since he has the tricks down.

welcome Lee... nice to see you catching up with the times and getting POR'ed. Your rig is SICK... I will have mine out of the shop and ready to wheel by next weekend. Give me a call sometime (sent you a PM) if you're going and I'll see what I can blow up following you... it's been long enough, time to see what all you and Jason taught me.

BTW you going to be at the Super Crawl in Farmington? I will be spotting Troy... wondering if we'de get to see you there.

very nice....looks like its doing 80mph sitting still....

Since I just spent soo much time in CA working on the truck I need to devote some good family time for the next few weeks. I should have all th elittle stuff sewn up on my rig in a month or so. I am so ready to wheel I can not see straight!

Cool. An alluminum pinion support with holes. Must be a little lighter, huh?

Awesome rig Lee!

Are you going to check out the RCAA event next week? Me and your other buddies...you know the one's that didn't get the feature article....will be there. :flipoff2:

I did. I think Lee has just the "F" on his, though.

There is only an "F" left in the grill letters.

>That's a badass bronco, but sure lookslike a copy of somebody >elses badass bronco
Thanks, but whos might that be? Its the only 'hot' raspberry bronco with flames I have ever seen. I am assuming you are referring to JR's. Not to take anything away fron JR's rig. Its one of the baddest trucks I have ever seen. The chassis have very little if any similarities. Ford made the body panels look alike, but thats about it. I assure Tim built this chassis purly from scratch. Other than the fact that they are both bronco's they are totally different trucks.

What panels are you guys using for the body, Fiberglass, OEM steel or repro steel?

You guys have some sweet rigs!

Very nice to see the evolution of your bronco. Did you go four link in the front or retain the 3-link and hydro lockout cylinder?
Makes me want to cut up mine, guess I got to get wheeling and earn the need to tube it out.:D

Originally posted by Paul Gagnon

I removed the F O R D completely when I narrowed mine, then I put the chrome sport trim level F O R D emblems on to replace the stamped in letters, It made for only having to cut 2 sections out of the grill, instead of 5 sections... (I removed the F O in one section, and the R D in a second section) to leave the stamped letters I would have had to cut a piece out on each end of the letters, and a piece out between each of the letters too...

and krylon, mine isn't wquite as elaborate (still a tub on frame construction), but it's all factory steel parts... I believe lee's is factory steel too...

The body panels are all OEM except the hood thats aftermarket fiberglass. The old wheelwells were filled and moved back, but the quarters remain stock length.

I really liked the locking ram set-up I had previous, but since I went with full hydralic steering it gave me the oppertunity to finally dump the trac-bar and go with a 3 link wish-bone up front. I was truely amased that Tim was able to get 100% of the steering components behind the axle assembly, especially with a 3 link. The wishbone is the lower link that converges at the centerline of the axle. The uppers attach about 6" above the axle tube.

I am running a 4 link rear with the lower links converging behind the t-case. The uppers run slightly down hill which will give me a few degrees of roll "understeer". The covergance of the links give a instant center that renders 114% antisquat. The roll center is much higer than my last link suspension so road driving should improve. It will be iteresting to see how well it works.

I will try and get it up on the lift and get some suspesnion pics if anyone is interested.

Hey JR congrats on the top truck win. I wish I could have been there to see it run, (I worked with Eric while it was there) I never got to see it complete, but the pics look great!
:beer:

All i can say ot this is WOW!:eek:

Yea,
I'd like to see more pics.:D

Hey Lee, your bronco ( the one parked next to the fire hydrant on the wrong side of the street, but at least the wheels are curbed :D)

But he has front and rear steer......he coud start it up and go backwards to avoid a ticket right :flipoff2:

Hey Lee....I have been wondering about this on your rig...

What diff gears did you use to match the traditional axle in the front with the Portal axle in the rear?

it's not rear steer

The front is 5.13 and the rear is a 2.47. The 2.1 reduction in the portal boxes make them come out real close.

Um... why did you park in front of the fire hydrant?

hehe I got tired of pushing it! Its not in running shape yet. I still need fuel lines and wiring.

Hey Lee,

Why not call it the Pink Lady instead of Barbie :D. Or is that name taken?

Do you have different lug patterns between the front and rear? If not how did you get them the same?

Trust me, the nickname "Barbie" IS NOT one that I picked. I was at a good friend's daughters 6 year birthday party and she got a "Barbie" Bicycle. Someone was quick to point out that it was the EXACT same color as my truck. They have labeled it "Barbie" ever since. The only other name that was out for a while which was a little less insulting was "The Flaming Rock Pimp". As you can tell my buddy's around here use every chance they can get to harrass me!

The bolt pattern is 5 X 5.5 both front and rear. I converted the front D60 knuckles to 5X5.5 and the rear portal boxes have an adapter ring from the original pattern to 5 X 5.5. The ring has counter sunk holes for the stock Unimog pattern and studs for the 5 X 5.5.

Hey Lee,

Katemcy will be closed by the time it is finished.....bring that puppy up to Clayton. I want to see it work!

Nice truck Lee, that's a huge difference

Will you bring "Barbie" to Oktober Trail fest in Clayton?

I will be down in SA to wheel Cibolo Creek Oct. 19th if you arn't at Clayton and will swing by the house

what will you be wheelin' foo'? Not like your "patrol" thing will be ready by then... Is is time to pull a Doug and wheel the tow rig? :flipoff2:

You should see it up in Clayton soon. I am trying to make it to Tellico in November. That will be its first real test.

Lee still wheels it all the time. He changed to Krawlers, that's about it. He also has a new tow rig and trailer.

That car is going bye bye and new rig is going to be started next week.

Damn, 5 year old thread, and it's still bad ass.

That is what I admired about him. He was happy with the first build and pretty much left it alone and wheeled it for 5 yrs.

That would be nice/smart.

What is he building now?

Cool rig..... never seen it before today
really sweet lines:smokin:

If Lee doesn't start a thread on the new car I will. He's got some pretty cool parts, particularly the motor (especially for the Ford nuts).

Cammer alum. 5.0 dohc crate motor? :D

Its a Dart aluminum race block. Its punched out and stroked to 460CI. I have it on the dyno today. Will get back with numbers.

Thanks for all the complments on my rig. Its still running strong. I have not done too much to it over the last 5 years except wheel it and put fresh paint on it about once a year. I did switch from the swampers to MTR's then to Krawlers, but nothing else major.

Looking for the new one to be a little longer and lighter. I am running internal bypass coilovers in hopes of it doing well at high speed in addition to the rocks. I will keep you guys posted.

Lee Novikoff

I've never seen that bronco before. probably because i joined after 2003. anyway, your bronco is titties. i love it. :grinpimp:

Thanks! Its been a real learning process.

Anymore updates on the New one Lee.

I finally got the motor Dyno numbers back. It put down 631 hp and 583 tq. The powerband was pretty impressive. It was running 450tq at 2000rpm and still pulling 422tq at 7200rpm. All the drivetrain is together at Tim's shop (Bronco Alley). Tubing should start next week.

Sweet! Let's see Kirk top that with his buzzin half dozin. I need to knock the cobwebs off mine to get it ready for OCBR.

Nice rig...care to share how Mustang fuel injection can be modified to work with a 460 CI Windsor? :D

I am not running mustang injection. I am running the Edlebrock Pro-Tuner injection. After tuning it I will never run Ford EFI again on a high hp built motor. http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_new/mc/efi/pt_intro.shtml

I am buggyless right now....that is why I want to see what Lee is up to....he is always good for an idea or two :)

I can not make it this year. I have a work trip that falls on the same weekend. I am bummed about missing trhe Chili Challenge.

Not up to too much. Just finishing up my wifes bronco and Tim is at work on the new chassis. I will attach a picture of her truck. Its got a little NOS injected 347 stroker in it. Should be a funn little bronco.

I should be in the area in the next few weeks - might have to stop by and check out the wifes Bronco:D

come on by!

This thread just needs a bump for the sweetness that this rig is. I need to get some good shots of what Barbie 2.0 looks like these days for Lee.

I have some new pictures, but I am not sure how to post them. My setting say I "may not" post attachemnts.

just type then put teh www.website.here = Bingo!

Or send them to me again :D

Send me your e-mail and I will get a few pics over. I do not have them on a web site, but have some more of my wifes truck and the new build on Baribie. I appreciate the help.

Sorry Lee only one I had handy.

This is Lee testing out the brand new body panels. It's the only time it's been in one spot long enough to take a picture of it. :flipoff2:

You can also e-mail the pics to me as well.

Whoops

Nice shot. Should have gotten more though :flipoff2:

Still got the bronco. It's slowly being dissassembled for repair. That will speed up as soon as comp season is over.

I forgot you had that evidence Jake. I'll never forget looking out the window at 8 am and wondering where Lee found white mud at? Then I realized that wasn't mud. We will have to hit Clayton again when the new rig is done for a shake down run.

I do not mind the roll-overs when testing, but the under-water deal kinda sucked. But the most important lesson I learned was "never roll your truck over with your wife in it".

I'll agree with ya :laughing:

This is the only think keeping my Bronco from being the coolest in the world :D

Or, errr....maybe this one :grinpimp:

One more from Barbie and some more porn from his wife......'s Bronco.....

They are sweet ones.
