|  Jk to ford conversion
We'll got tired of the jk and thought I would get something new. Got me the proline 73 bronco and got to work. Due to the 12.5 wheel base and titanium links I wanted to keep the same wb. I used the 1.9 iroks and 1.9 steelies. For now am running an integy 55t motor but looking to get me a 35t. Used stock scx10 shocks . I have the axial aluminum knuckles. Now just waiting for the chance to take her out on the trail.  Decided to go with the axial silver color with black trim.  Then added the bumpers in the front and rear   Will be adding the interior tomorrow if time permits and a roof rack Last edited by 4X4 Freak; 07-12-2014 at 01:53 PM. |

Well worked a bit on it today and installed my metal roof rack and my jk interior was a pretty good fit into the bronco . Tried to use the cage but a little to wide on top.   |

Got to work on my set of rock sliders for the new bronco body. I used 1/8 steel rod and mig welded it all together. I went ahead and welded them to the frame . Was wondering if they will hold up. Have any of you done this straight to frame? Still need to paint them up will do that next.     Last edited by 4X4 Freak; 07-14-2014 at 08:58 PM. |

Love it! One less jeep on the planet is a good thing. I'll take the bronco all day.

I'm doing a bronco too, what are the lengths of your links? I'm thinking 98mm fronts and 106mm rears? Thanks
