It has come to my attention while busy building Broncos and expanding the family I have gotten behind on here. I had to renew my subscrption to even upload photos! With that said I'll try to get ya'll up to speed on the project. We are trying to build a 100% brand new Bronco with the exception of maybe the glovebox! We had done pretty much everything else as far as drivetrain goes except for the Coyote and 6R80 which I had been planning on ever since they came out. I finally got the call from a customer that I had been waiting on to turn all those ideas into reality. We have been planning and doing R&D for months and this is where we are. More pics to follow.

Suspension

We are going to run a custom 4 link w/coilovers in the rear and the front will be something similar. We will be working on that in the coming weeks.

Wow this is going to be an amazing build!

For those of us not in the know; what's your business? Are you a custom Bronco building shop or equipment vendor, etc.? Do you have store front or online presence? What kind of Bronco services do you offer? Or is all of this just really slick personal/private business stuff?

My business is Tumblin Automotive, you may have seen our add in Bronco Driver or some articles on our builds. I own a general repair shop, but have been building Broncos on the side for years. Our specialty is late model drivetrain. I enjoy doing the seemingly impossible, we have done everything from a Powerstroke to now this. This is the first year we started building Broncos full time. Anything from stock to as crazy as you want custom builds. We also did the engine & transmission install in the Bronco Driver Project Screamin Demon. I hope to have a website up soon, as we do offer products for all late model drivetrain installation. Here's a pic of our adapter for the 6R80 to an Atlas. We also offer the adapter for the Dana 20. The motor mounts we sell will also work on the coyote.
