Hey Jaromy, build is looking good!

I may have missed it, but what did your final wheelbase end up at? Looked like the rear was pushed 4" back...where did the front end up?

Thanks!

Thanks! I'm right at 98" right now. I'll probably push it to 100" when I'm ready to build a custom fuel tank.

Bronco is at the exhaust shop right now. I will get it to ride height when I get it back...hopefully tomorrow.

Next step is installing the new rear fenders. After the fenders it will be rock rails and roll cage time.

Rear fenders. Added flanges to these so I could spot weld them in and then seam seal

Looks great! Hope to be able to check it out in person and wheel together

That will happen one of these days. I'm fighting the urge to make suspension changes and it's not finished ;D.

It's looking great. It makes me itchy to get back on mine. I just have four other projects to knock out and then I'm on it.

I tried to find it but I cant seem to. Who's front shock brackets are you using. Thinking about going to front coil overs and these look like they may work nicer than making hoops.

I need you to start on your so I can get some good ideas of how I'll do my next one ;D Get that frame going

The towers are from Artec. I bought the longest ones and then cut them down to the size I needed.

2 into 1 out the side in front of the rear fender with Flomaster muffler and resonator. I still need to cut the hole in my fender and pass the exhaust through. I'm waiting on the flange I order before I cut the hole.
