Are you talking about the 4 links themselves? If so, they are from the kit. I would highly recommend buying the kit. It will make the build easier and whatever you dont use you could always sell off.

Did you read the thread? I gave my opinion of it several times

That's a great looking Bronco. I've picked up a lot of good info from your thread. Thanks! What body post did you use for the front and rear?

I used ones from a TLT kit, however, your LHS should have a wide variety of different types to choose from. Or I am sure someone here would be willing to sell some tlt ones if really need, I know I have like 6 tlt kits that have most of the extras left over after I built the axles.

lowslowTJ · 02-25-2008, 01:57 PM

amazing! as all of your builds are. well done.

big bronco · 02-27-2008, 03:17 PM

amzing once again mike
you really have some pantients for these things...

Focus07 · 02-27-2008, 06:47 PM

Looks awesome and makes me want to build a "scale rig". 2 thumbs up

ussprinceton2004 · 03-09-2008, 12:54 PM

any more vids?

rtreads · 03-19-2008, 10:50 PM

First off I would like to say, nice job. You can see this will be a clean build. I have to give you props for you attention to detail....

except for one little thing (IMO)... the little hinge stickers you have on either side of the front windsheild, on the a-pillars, are actually for the doors and not the windows. Broncos have a large hinge that runs all the way across the bottom of the window frame that alows the windsheild to fold foreword and down.

Just a thought.

4u2nv · 03-21-2008, 04:10 PM

How are the shocks holding up with just the one O-Ring? I just got some RC4WD shocks and they are horrible so far. I'm going to try your mod. I can't take the sticking... for $60 you'd think they'd be a little smoother.

doudou · 03-21-2008, 08:34 PM

i think same of you on this shock ,it s crap.but they are little better with the trik of 1badjeepbruiser.

G-crawler · 03-24-2008, 03:46 PM

This scaler is truly amazing, you make really good threads as well, great pics, great work, and some really good tips and tricks, i lerned a few good things reading this! Great job! thanks!

DanTaylor · 03-24-2008, 11:32 PM

7 pages and 20 or so minutes later I finish reading. All I can say is WOW, that truck looks amazing!!! Would love to see more from you on this build when you have the time.

TwistedCreations · 03-25-2008, 08:46 AM

Looks great as usual Mike

Only thing that I don't care for is the crooked front bumper..

You know, I never I realized I did that

You would think being that I did own a real one I would know better. Thanks for pointing that out, I am going to get rid of them, maybe try to re stick them on the doors.

Shocks have been fine thus far, they are ALOT smoother now, just dont put any oil in them. Dont need it really anyway since they have the internal springs, just a drop to lubricate the one O-ring

Your an asshole

you want to build my bumper for me ? I never was all that good at brazing, hence why the fo runna still supports the TC built bumpers

1BadJeepBruiser · 03-25-2008, 09:56 PM

Ok real quick before I go to bed...

spy shot....see anything different

Ok how bout now

REAL style headlights. All you gotta do is order some jugg/high lift roll bar lights and lenses, I got mine from RPPHobby.com, then you cut them off the bar. Dremel the one edge smooth. Then, using a body reamer, ream the head light hole. Depending on the reamer you may need to dremel the hole bigger (I did) . Then just shoe goo it in from the back side. Got this lil tip from Corey @ RPP some time back on his black boyer Bronco.

I got some 40000 MCD, or something crazy like that, LEDs coming for it

O and I added some shock boots too, still need to install the Rancho stickers...when I find some time

NitroStar · 04-01-2008, 06:20 AM

You used Tamiya Copper. Is this the exact name? And what kind of black did you use? Thanks

I show pics of your Bronco at work & they think it is a real Bronco! It is truly a work of art.

gyrene · 04-01-2008, 06:58 AM

Looks nice.....I always like your builds they are top notch.

1BadJeepBruiser · 04-19-2008, 04:11 PM

Gotta love new Hilux parts, when I saw Corey at RPP Hobby had these I knew exactly where they were going

They aren't an exact match to what a real Bronco would have. The 1:1's are more flat and aren't embossed if thats the word you would use, but they look the part. Next up is the turn signals in the grill
