That is very very cool Bax and I would make it worthwhile to anyone who helps.

Once I put the tub back on the only major thing to do is install the Centech wire harness. The rest is a bunch of little stuff like hooking up all the lights. I put the Twin sticks in, that was easy but I have a Lokar Floor shifter that needs to go in. Im pretty sure I can do the install but Im not sure about the nuetral safey stuff. I have the Bronco lean going on so I have to fix that. My main concern is safety. See Im not very mechanical and I have been learning everything as I go. Although I have progressed and learned a great deal, I am not 100% confident with my work. Almost everything in my Bronco is new and with all the time and money I have invested I would feel a lot better if I had someone with experience go over everything. For instance, I installed the Heim Joint steering kit and it looks like I did it right but I have no idea how it will drive. The engine, tranny and transfer case have been completely rebuilt, not by me but I insalled everything. Again, I could have made a little mistake and I would have no clue what to do.
I would be forever gratefull for any help that is offered.

I emailed my buddy Mark down in Fort Lauderdale. Might be too far for him, but he might make the trip. He's as fanatical about Broncos as myself and keeps complaining there are no EBs down in FL when he goes down there for winter work.

Cool, thanks! Let me know what he says. I have a nice Cabin in the Ocala National forest for anyone to use if they help me out. 500,000 acres of the best 4wheelin florida has to offer. It is also on one of the best Bass fishing or Gator Gig'n lakes in the country.

As soon as I get my rig going, I am going to plan a weekend event. I have plenty of room, 8 acreas, outside bathroom, sinks, shower, fire pit, clean camp areas. There are trails that go forever and some real cool pits. If anyone wants to volunteer to help orginize everything please let me know. I was hoping to do something around mid Febuary while it is still cool out.

todd - call me - we will organize and do this thing. We might want to get the harness in and complete before the wrench party. THat way we can fire it and if any issues the ones with the knowledge will be there. The centech is just tedious...not too hard.

Hijack ON/ Brian- NP 435 is suposed to be in my hands on the 3rd. I also have the 6cyl extension housing. OK on the rear end too. I guess what I am saying is you wont be waiting on me. Just Todd to set a date. Mark and Alex may come over here sometime so I could give the goods to them. Or we could wait untill Todd 's wrenching party and just work on yours instead./Hijack OFF.

Well hell's bells fellas, sounds like a fun time, and if you need a second project let me know as I'd be willing to let ya'll work on mine! By the way, I've got the inline six adapter and spacer, just need the 435 itself for my swap.

:) I'm in Hollywood and have only seen 3 others down here in Broward besides mine. An orange one not too far from me, a nice stocker on the road a month or so ago and a purple one just yesterday. Warms my heart. Of course there's that gutted rustbucket in Miami lakes someone wanted to sell me for $2k last month but it may be more rust than bronco!

I've got some C-bushings to replace and would dearly love to watch some folks do radius arm work to correct the lean before I do that. Depending on the timing I could lend a hand or just make beer runs. Helluva drive tho', would have to be on a weekend. :p
