Nice rig! I was looking for a trailer. Did you just remove the fenders off a stock trailer? Do you drive on the trailer tires to get the Bronco on it? How wide are your wheels?

its custom, the fenders are pinned and lift off. yes i drive over the trailer tires. they look and sound like there are going to pop, but no issues in 2 years.

Man two awsome rigs, way to represent Ford tough. Again, welcome to the FTE forums. Wish I had the cash to do some of that with my 95 Bronco and 04 Expedition.

if i told you how cheap the Bronco and jeep came out to, you would hunt me down and kill me. Both were basket cases non-running piles of trash. and i do all my own work inculding paint and body. ill try the gallery thingy....
most $$$ were tires and wheels and the 44 boggers were a steal at that. my buddy owns ORI an offroad shop in Tally, and a customer ordered them and backed out, so SUPER deal for me.

here she was del to me for $100 in feb 07

then on to suspension. used SKY flip kit in rear with 6" pro comp springs, Dana 70 HD, detroit and disk conversion. Then sky 99 superduty 3"lift brakect and superlift 99 superduty 6" front springs, some fab work and a d 60 HP king pin that was cut and turned, with twin piston calipers. rebuilt the C6, did an old school tune up on the 351M and got missing or replacement parts from good folks on FSB like a carb, and such. also added a Optima red top, summit 100 amp alt, painless wiring add on circuits and fuses. custom drive shafts, front im using a Tom woods, offset u-joint for clearance. after all that it runs perfect and uses no oil. painted the frame and gas tank too. had to drop it to install the rear flip kit. im sure theres more, but cant think of it
