Cool. There is the benefit ride at DPG late in the month of Feb. Clay and I are planning to be there. Gotta get the rear drive shaft fixed first.

Still need to finish welding and finish panhard. Then install & charge air shocks, run brake line, and lengthen driveshaft.

I picked up a set of ~5.38 gears for it, just need to find a carrier. Hoping to regear, clean propane system, add more tube, install beadlocks, and repaint it by May.

I like the progress. Wow that thing was rusty. Is that an umbrella over the cage? I think you need to rock that thing Big Grin

I actually had a hand in that Bronco too....I did the tubes that got added to the base cage that have nice welds....:thefinger:

I was wondering what happened to it.

thanks guys. The quarters are about the only rust left in it, but i think it weighs twice now because of that...

I ran out of welding gas, and have to travel for work, but hopefully i can get back on it soon... Im ready to have it done

So the rear is mostly done.... still need to fill the air shocks, replumb the brakes and lengthen the driveshaft (if anyone has a 2.5" tube I need some)....

I shot some paint on it (glad the orange is gone) and prepped the beadlocks to install...

hoping to get the beadlocks together soon... will try and document an idea I have...

ordered the parts to put together a nitrogen setup, and will get a small tank once that comes in...

need to talk to by neighbor about doing the gear install...

May 14th ride at the Flats is the target...

it looks like you 3 linked the rear? i'd like to see some more pics of what you did there and expect a full report after you get a few rides on it Big Grin

paint looks good. Can't tell that it is the same Bronco now. hope you get it together. Looks like you're almost there. I get my driveshafts done at universal service here in CLT (off of Graham St).
