Mostly rust free tub (only front floor pans were replaced) painted Sherwin Williams 5th Dimension “Tantalizing Turquoise” paint, extreme cutout front fenders (some bondo under paint, cut off rocker panels w/ .25 in 2x5 rectangle tubing welded on rock skids, front inner fenders removed and engine cage installed, front hood and grill narrowed 6 inches. Some dings and dents on corners from rock crawling.
This truck was built to crawl. I would not advise anyone looking for a streetable bronco to look here. Although I have driven it to the store, 40" tires, quick ration steering, and 5.13's are a handful.
This is a work in progress as I continue to make this truck better. I have a pile of stuff waiting to be installed and I will continue to do so as time goes on. Price will change accordingly.
Not yet installed parts, in the order of precedence of installation:
8” ram for hydro assist with hoses
Bailey Built rear bumper
BC Broncos belly skid plate
Factory parking brake – will need cables and fulcrum lever
Wheelbase extension kit:
--Rear wheel well extensions
--B pillar frame tie-ins for cage
--Extended rear drive shaft
--Stinky 23 gallon tank that can be cut down (and cleaned!!) once rear end is stretched to replace fuel cell to regain bed space
--spare set of leaf spring mounts, front and rear
Upgraded parts are negotiable to be added to deal. Once they get installed, the price goes up, and I am not pulling them off.
$16,000 as it sits, and negotiable with the extra parts.
Will be wheeling at OCBR and available for delivery there, otherwise come and get it in Austin, TX. Email or post up any questions.
