    Another Bukin Suspension Mod

    Just found this build and love it! I'm getting ready to start a long travel build myself. I never thought of tubing the rear, excellent job! What is the shock travel? Just curious as to what I can fit under the hood without having my ride height like a monster truck. What is your front...

    Long travel coilover setup?

    I like your brackets they look great! I am going to make hoops and run a brace over the motor to tie the two sides together. I also wanted to run tubing from my shock hoop through the firewall to the down post on my cage like on drag cars for extra strength but maybe that's over kill? I do want...

    Long travel coilover setup?

    Guess I should start by removing springs and see how low I can go to clear everything and measure how high I can go with shock before it interferes with hood. Then I can order correct shocks

    Long travel coilover setup?

    That's the kind of info I'm looking for, thanks! Since I do know the lengths of fully compressed and extended I will set it up so there is adequate clearance while at full compression. Just unsure if you want to favor more compression stroke or not on ride height.

    Long travel coilover setup?

    So I think I am going a different route on my bulld and going to make a huge mess out of it. Going longtravel. I want to pretty much copy what Sean West did with his green monster in Michigan. I have seen it run the dunes at Silver Lake many times and is just set up right. Graveyard has 255 pics...

    '77 Coyote build

    Did a little mock up today. Going to be really tight around the shock and spring brackets. I should just pull the trigger now and cut that stuff off and do king coilovers. At least making progress

    Nice to see pics of that beautiful machine old freind! Hopefully someday we can get them together and play in the sand!

    BALCH-Autoworx: 1973 Build Thread

    I had the same problem with the Milodon Bronco pan front drain plug not clearing cross member. I ended up cutting a channel in the cross member and boxing the channel in to ease with engine removal. Probably not the easiest thing to do if you don't have the right tools. Keep up the good work!

    '77 Coyote build

    I could not pinpoint my issue but I think it was the converter. I don't understand because it was built off the dyno numbers and weight and all the other questions they ask. I would use the brake and leave off the converter which was 4200 and the rpms would only climb to about 5200 and stay...

    '77 Coyote build

    My best time was a disappointing 6 flat at 54 mph. I want to be mid 4's but that won't happen till I put turbo's on it. I am hoping the coyote will put me mid to low 5's N/A. Intake, injectors, cold air, long tubes on e-85 will put me around 500hp at crank. They did a intake comparison with my...

    '77 Coyote build

    My build will not be as fancy as the others but should be interesting. Someday she will be pretty but not until I can pull the front tires off the sand! Also doing hydro boost and tossing around doing full hydraulic steering. Might make install easier do to the clearance issue chuck had with...

    '77 Coyote build

    Hi all! Figured I would start a build thread on here to help me along with encouragement and criticism. First off my bronco is in really bad shape body wise. Bought it 4 years ago from the neighbor for $1k. Started with the drive train, rebuilt the front axle with a true trac locker, 31 spline...
