Sounds cool, I can't wait to see what it looks like with the lift, and the new tires.

I doubt I will sell it anytime real soon, but you get the first shot at it. I have done a lot since you have seen it. It now has a 340 HP Ford Racing Crate motor, a NV3550 5 speed, new exhaust, which sounds totally awesome, new carpeting, twin shifters for the transfer case, body lift, aand a cool hood scoop.

You around here or somewhere else????

Cool. I can't buy another vehicle right now anyway...just if you ever decide to sell it.
I'm still rotting away in Virginia. We were supposed to do a deployment to Africa, and that got cancelled. So here I sit and rot. Its aweful, cause all I do in port is spend money on the jeep, the Lightning, and now the mountain bike has seen its share of mods!

Ha! A mountain bike fixation cost me over 10K about 12 years ago. One of the first full suspension bikes in competition around my parts with all kinds of cnc bits and a lot of titanium. I quit riding when all of my friends had recieved serious injuries. I got out before it was my turn.

Hahaha....I was hard core into riding about 10 years ago also, but being a broke high school kid, I rode a bunch of hand-me-down rigids, and swore I'd never buy a spring bike. Now that I'm making money I realized I hated full suspension only because I couldn't afford it! Got me a FSR XC Pro and just added a Fox TALAS 32 RLC front fork and a set of Avid Carbon disc brakes. Went "city riding" last night and stuffed my headset into my sternum pretty good!

I know what you mean about spending money
Here are a few pics of what I have done to the bronco, since you saw it, and if it ever becomes yours, who knows what it will be or look like.



New shigters, for the T Case and new transmision


Shifter ****, and you can see the Wide band 02 guage.


New exhaust, 2.5 inch pipes from the headers, then steps up to a 3 inch in and out Magnaflow, Almost sounds better than my Lightnings exhaust. You can see the new trans in this picture.

I am pretty sure when you saw the bronco it still had the old 30 year old 302. Well not anymore, 340HP Ford Racing Crate motor. As Rob would say Whoooo Hoooooooo



It also has new carpets now, and maybee seats.




Next up 6 point roll cage, which is at my friends warehouse.

Dam Don, was your welder drunk when he welded up that exhaust?


Come to think of it, I weld better than that drunk

You need to see the ChickenMan about some nice floor mats for the Bronco, but you sure have done a fine job on her.
She looks sweet

Don't pay any attention to Rob...........only kids and azz holes race on the street. I do mine at the track

Is that a twin stick setup, or how they used to do the transfercases?

Wished the Rubicon case would allow the use of twin sticks... but can always upgrade to the atlas 4-speed.
