Update to The Saga Begins

[WyleCoyote]

Well, Today I am getting my shop and tools organized, because tomorrow the Bronco is going in for major surgery. I'm going to remove the front clip, restore the frame back to original(If you recall I have the J**p Wagoneer steering box Hack job). Get a real PS Gearbox, fab Shock hoops for the coil overs going in the front, yank out the engine/Transmission/Transfercase to do seals on them. 1" body lift, rear spring pivots, inboard shocks on the rear, twin stick conversion, plus I'm also redoing the wiring and hoses under hood. Should be in the shop for the entire winter, and part of the spring...but I'm looking forward to it!!!

Re:The Saga Begins

Great project there.<br><br>But a few questions... Why coil over the front before the rear??? You will get alot more gain out of the rear coilovered then the front.

Re:The Saga Begins

The "BOSS" certainly knows where to find you this winter!

 

[WyleCoyote]

The empty Engine compartment, I don't know why it washed out so bad in the photo, but it is not really that light blue...<br><br>

<br><br>And for those that were interested in the J**p wagoneer gearbox set up here is a couple pics that clarify it better<br><br>

<br><br>And a zoom in on the box itself<br><br>

 

[broncobsession]

Dig the green torque converter and the uh..."rigged" power steering setup. Are you gonna keep that steering setup?

Thanks for the pics. You've made much more progress than I have. <br><br>snake
