ok guys, I dove head first into this project. my girl and i putt-ed around the property a few times to relieve any last minute bronco driving anxieties. we all know this will prolly take me 6 months, lol. SO... i have my front axle stipped and the factory knuckles pulled off. i TWISTED 2 7/8" lug nuts trying to get one of the king pins out and said screw it! i think i may just leave them be since its a trail only truck anyways. i am getting everything cleaned (my parts washer tub is slap full). i have removed every steering part from the bronco, steering box, pump, tie rod, drag link, etc etc. kinda looks eerie! i will prolly end up buying a king pin rebuild kit from an offroad shop to make sure i have all the seals and bearings correct and dont have to wander around the parts houses for hours.
i have some pics but they are just of the tear down step and not really anything exciting. i will not be able to work on it in the next few days because work is going to be very hectic in the next few days and dont know if i will make it down to the shop. i will take pics as i go along and try to keep at least a log of some sort. i will also be noting all the sizes of bolts/nuts as well as line sizes and fitting sizes for anyone to reference later on.
i will post up the pics if anyone really wants me to. i will definitely make a full hydro build in my Picasa gallery

sweetness.......you going a set of longfield cv's since you got it all apart?
its a pretty easy setup, me and a freind did his entire full hydro besides the lines in less than a day.....and that includes teardown....his was a psc kit...
did you get the full kit? pump, resi, and everthing? or just ram, and orbital?

pump, steer valve, and ram. i will have to do some tube bending to get the ram positioned perfectly. i will also have to wait till i am compltely done so i can go have some lines made. i dont want to get half way through and realize i came up 6" short!
lol longfield CV's are a bit too overkill for me. if i ever decide i need those i will just go rockies!

i will try and get down to the shop today, its just a challenge after working 12+ hours.
see, i still want a challenge and dont want to get too far over my head. i think 47's and rocks are great, but i dont really want them. i like the 39's i have but think i would be most happpy with 42's! i think with 44's i would start breaking stuff.
plus i have a good amount of money in this 60 front (prolly more than i should) and would rather keep them. now if i could sell my axles for a reasonable price i would definitely go with rockies. in fact my dad asked me the other night how much i would sell my axles for and how much a set of rockies cost. he has a jeep he wants to build and i think he is interested!
