Tube Frame Designs for Early Bronco

[sstlaure]

...ever put that on the scales? I'd be curious......

how much travel do you have in the front axle?

does he street drive that? .....and is hydrosteer street legal.

I was told it was not (cant remember if it was in VA or OH)

Before the build-up it was 3400 lb, we haven't weighed it since.

13" Front/21" rear travel (we currently run in 2WD due to front driveshaft issues, we're going to clock the trans/transfer case around to gain ~3" drop of the driveshaft at the case.)

I don't think it's even close to street legal (frame height, bumper height, lack of a rear bumper, no wipers, etc.) but it is registered under his 1968 title (original frame and tub). Not sure if the hydrosteer is legal or not. It sure works great. Here's a closer look. (I'm going to end up with some bumpsteer in my truck, I can't afford the hyd steer.)

My front shaft bumps off my stock AOD pan. I need to modify it or the deep aluminum one but haven't done it yet either.
I have avoided clocking my Atlas to gain room. Maybe I should.....cant be too hard.

Steering is interesting. Thanks for the pic. I might be tempted to put one of those on the back axle. I have a power rack/pinion with a Borgeson slip joint. No bump steer but it limits my travel.
I also lost a lot of turning radius as the arm hits the shock.
