I guess its been a while since I've updated this thread… Not much to update besides a few repairs to the roll cage and a few new scale extras. I'm hoping to throw a little attention at this thing this winter with a new frame and install the rc4wd trans and t-case I picked up in trade, also need to make a new front bumper for the new winch.

Thanks. So my last repair on the roll cage didn't hold up too well, decided to take my time on this one. Got it all cleaned up and brazed, then sandblasted. Now its ready for paint.

Sweet setup AK! Now it looks like you'll have to do the glovebox mod to your dashboard I love the look of that cutout grill

Thanks, glove box MOD is already done lol. And it was a pain to cut out all the slots in the grill and not mess it up too bad.

Small update. I realized that I was running a 4 link up front with a track bar, so I pulled out one of the upper links that was limiting my suspension travel. It's better but I still need to rework the mount to gain some more clearance. I also made a set of chains and took it out for a swim.

Every early Bronco should have an 8274. They look like they were designed for them.

Guess its been a while since I've updated this, not much has changed other than some new proline tsls and changing the offset on the wheels for a wider stance. The 8274 has been a great upgrade, wish it was a little faster though. I finally got one on the full size eb too.
