Okay, so maybe I'm a little excited... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

It seems that the dual shocks in the rear aren't going to go on so easily, as the 66 mounts a little differently. Anyone have any experience or advice? The 11 leafs are in, but the mounts are going to need some thinkin' on.

The cage went in a few weeks ago, but I haven't shown it off yet, either.

It went from "The Little Bronco" to sitting higher than anything in the driveway.

Without further ado:

Cool, cool.

Lookin sweet babygirl ! Hey is your bronco one of those electric powered/hybrid cars like the prius ? I noticed an electrical cord & plug hanging down in pic two.

4x4babygirl · Jul 6, 2009

The cord is for a core heater. I have no idea if it works or not.

The kit came with 2 mounts and 4 post-style shocks, but the 66 has a stem-style top mount in the front. Since you use the front to measure for the back, I want to take a gander at some over at Duff's before I get to putting them on.

Lookin good Casey!
Which rear dual shock mounts do you have?

Nice BG Did you get these?

JGbronc · Jul 6, 2009

Very nice! Looks great!

bronko69er · Jul 6, 2009

Looks like you will have to cut of the stock mounts and weld on the new ones.

It's the single behind the axle addition that is supposed to match the single in front. It makes a V over the axle. But the 66 is different up front. This is all way harder to explain than it is to point at!!!

Ah, i understand now. not the same mounts as in the link you posted.
You will probably have to trade duff 2 of your "eye hoop" shock for 2 "stud style" ends.
Youre rears are like this right?

No, I linked to the wrong kit. To tell you the truth, I'm not sure. That's why I want to go over there and look.

Hush your mouth. But GUILTY (at least through PO default). It's holding some wiring and the fuel line to the frame. There's still a fair amount of clean up to be done under there. Had to cut the brake cables because they were too short and gonna have to install longer ones.

A 14mm 12pt box end wrench will be your friend when removing those cables from the backing plates. (if I remember the size correctly)

I'm having a hard time believing there is anything on the EB that can't be accomplished with something other than a 1/2".

Jeepster · Jul 6, 2009

Metric wasn't invented here yet when that Bronco was built.;D
