Well its been a long time coming, and there is still a lot to do to it. My daughter and I took it for a spin at 7 mile OHV down the road. Of course I still need to install the front driveshaft , build a cage, purchase worthy tires and wheels, and a lot more misc stuff........... but its drivable :flipoff2:

I am stoked...... So far a few people have come up to me and looked at her. No one has called it a j**p or bronco. the orb of traction is an attention getter.

I have way to much time into it. I have rebuilt the suspension 3 times and am happy with what is in it now. Ive gone from stock springs SOA to SII springs SOA to the 56 cheby fronts and 63 cheby rears which ride like a big cushy pillow. this thing has never rode so smooth.

A poser pic in a small rut........ I would like to thank each and every builder on this site for the vast amount of info that lead me in the right direction.:beer:

Hey Cory, thanks. once all the bugs are worked out we will have to get together for a wheeling trip with the rest of the guys. now I have a reason to make it to a meeting or two.

Need to go through all the pics I have and put one together. I can tell you this... the shackle mounts are under the rear bumper and the front mounts are under the flat part of the frame just before the rise of the frame.

feels absolutely awsome:D

Congrats nice Bronco:flipoff2:
