Finally got the wife a Bronco!

As previously discussed the wife has always wanted a removable top Ford Bronco. I found her one that will serve double duty as a boat puller. I almost got stuck on a boat ramp Sunday and wished I had 4x4.

I found this on a bronco forum. The guy was looking for a quad cab pickup. So we negotiated a swap. Worked out perfect. Definitely a good-ol-boy. Know his suspension and built this to the hilt.

This thing has quite a spec sheet:

Mods:
Swapped front independent axle to a solid axle using a '78 D44 equiped with warn shafts, CTM joints, Warn locking hubs, 4:10 gears, and an ARB locking differential.
All 8" new springs (front and rear) were used for this swap and it has custom extended radius arms.
Fresh Mustang GT roller motor with stainless steel Ford motorsport headers (sounds just like a GT Stang) Long block bought and installed by FOMOCO.
Recently rebuilt Trans. Runs like a champ and is street worthy as it is.
Other Mods: Custom front and rear bumpers...front bumper holds a 1200# MileMarker winch and off road lights, rear bumper is a swing away tire carrier and hold two jerry cans. Custom built side sliders/protectors.
Pioneer stereo, CB and custom mag lite holders at each door, Interior roll bar, a highlift jack.







Its a suprise. Hope she likes it.

Now if I can get her to let me drive the BMW once in awhile.
