Classic broncos!

If you had a rolling chassis without the body on, what mods would you Make to your frame before putting the body back on?

Triangulated 4 link, stretch the wheel base, coil overs, and I’ve always wanted a diesel bronco, so all the stuff required for that.

Reinforce and brace weak spots such as where the power steering box and the crossmember for the ZF5 bolt on.
Frame end mount for axle anti-wrap device.
Frame tie-ins for cage.
Anti-sway bar mounting.
F250 front shock towers.
migs rear shock mounts.
Higher front coil mounts?

When completely finished with mods:
hot dip galvanizing
then
e-coat (maybe)
then
paint or powder coat (still undecided)

Hell yeah. I like it. Keep it coming.

Anyone have a dual battery or aircompressor on the frame somewhere?

depending on what transfer case and axles you plan to run, I would widen the frame. It's tough to squeeze a np205 or atlas between the rails and full width axles prefer the wider frame rails.
