Need Advice

Hey guys. I am wanting to get a Bronco ('78-'79) as a project to crawl with. I was wondering what kind of advice you guys could help me out with, like what I should be careful about, what I'd need, just any ideas or advice that you guys can think of. I am still sorta new at the crawler creating, so anything helps. Thanks!

Make sure you go strong with your drivtrain and diffs. Seen too many ppl snap an axel, driveshaft or u joint by over torqing. Also, if you can put the money into it, go fuel injected for the engine...best thing to have when on extreme angles. Other than that, take a look around on the net and in some 4x4 magazines. Can get alot of great ideas from there. If you ask for the best in anything when building a truck, you will get alot of different answers. Do you research and figure out which will work best for what you have and want to do.

Good Luck!!
