This project is a few years in the making. I have not posted any photos so far. I will begin with where we began and got from there. If you have any questions or comment,

Where it all began, kind of, not really. Hard to explain! I paid someone to get it this far and fired them before they finished. So for my portion of the work this is where it began. If you have questions or comments please let em rip, I learn from others

Wow!

I don't know why you subbed the job out if you can do that kind of work yourself!

As the saying goes, you don't know what you don't know. I originally subbed out the blast of the frame and body to be epoxied. He did none of it and was quite deceitful. So I lost 4k in that process and it took six years to regroup from that. Learned a bunch of stuff, but have always had an eye for detail. Thanks for the nod and like. It means a lot.

Wow you got a handle on it now and it is looking awesome. I hope you do not have the "Bronco leans" when you get it all back together. The leans come from the radius arms being bolted to the axle and getting them out of alignment (across from each other). Always best to have them free of the frame attachment points when getting bolted to the axle. But are you WAY past that point now.

The FTE early Bronco forum here is ok, just not heavily trafficked. So here is a site that is Bronco traffic crazy with helpful people and I am sure they would love to see the progress you have made on your own. Again you are making that Bronco awesome!
