Hi all, My name is Chris and I have a 1990 Full size Bronco that I have been working on for the last couple years. I did a full SAS on it but shortly after testing it out I took it on a full run which resulted in losing my brakes on a steep hill. After a 60 foot jump I bent the frame and snapped the front axle. I am getting close to rebuilding it with a 14 bolt rear, Dana 44 front, 4.88 gears, lockers, Humvee tires and rims and more.

I am pretty much thinking at this point of turning the Bronco into an off-road only vehicle and getting a 99 or newer F250 to drag it around and have a backup for my daily driver and weekend warrior for hauling stuff.

I am going back and forth over the choices of 2WD Vs. another 4X4 and a V10 Vs. a smoker. I do want an extra cab. I have been lurking here for a few weeks and it has helped.

The Beater before the crash.

The new axles are almost ready to install.
