2 Week Buggy

[73bronco]

Picked this up about a week or so ago from a guy over on Texas4x4. My plans were originally to build it up in 2 weeks because I thought I was going back to Africa. That job got cancelled so I have a little more time to work on it now. I've ordered all the misc little stuff I need to finish it but I still think I can build it up in 2 weeks.

Plans are for a 5.0 I got from a mustang, the c4/dana 20 setup from the bronco as well as the axles from the bronco. Should be pretty light and plenty of power.

i almost bought that, but i want a title for what ever i replace the blazer with

also good luck with the build

[73bronco]

Yea I saw that in the thread over on Texas4x4, I don't really care about the title since it will never be remotely close to street legal.

[bcolman]

my plan is to make what ever i get street legal as a backup vehicle

what suspension are you planning on running in the front?

[73bronco]

Air shocks front and rear, possibly coilover if I can find a deal on a pair for the front

[davido]

WokTaxi! Ed's old ride. I guess he parted it out? Did he buy anything else. Cool rig. Can't wait to see it. Another Cruiser. :D

[uglyota]

what about the rest of the front, how many links, i heard that this thing had anywhere from a 2 tlink to a 4 link and was never given a straight answer

[uglyota]

Radius arm front with 4 link rear. I got all the links as part of the deal so I'll reuse those. Rear link brackets are trash so I'll redo them.

I'm building it at my friends house, don't have room at the house I'm moving into next week with the bronco and all.

I don't plan to do a whole lot of tube work. Maybe some sort of grill protection and tube running down to protect the hood.

Are you working with Paul in the Congo?

haha, No that guy is doing bitch work over there. I guess it all pays the same though :gigem: I'm kind of all over the place, been in the gulf of mexico, ghana, equitorial guinea, and possibly norway pretty soon.

Thanks Kevin

[uglyota]

you didn't get a job with my uncle did you?

[73bronco]

Nah, never even heard back from him. Job prospects were in the sh***er when I graduated so I had alot of that. I ended up going to work for FMC Technologies doing subsea controls service.



On a side note, just ordered the rear 16" air shocks! Parts should be arriving in mass next week.

[uglyota]

ah, I think I've asked you that before. He's working all the same places
