This is my 1972 ford Bronco. I built it from scratch starting with a primered stock bronco with a 302/c4 stock axles and stock suspension.
I began with the axles the dana 44 is still up front for now. But soon to be replaced with a dana 60. The 44 is equipped with yukon axles and and ctm joints, crane high clearence Knuckles and high steer arms,warn lockouts, 5.13 gears, ox locker, and hydro ram assist steering with custom made tierods using hiems Joints.
The rear axle is a big bearing ford 9 inch with 35 spline axles, arb locker, 5.13 gears,nodular centersection/ Daytona carrier, disk brakes, and a bullit proof housing trussed in three directions built by my self.
The suspension is all custom built the rear is triangulated four linked with progressive coils and poly bushings and two shocks per corner. The front is stock radius arm set up with a custom built wristed pin radius arm, track bar brackets, and track bar, the complete front end also uses poly bushings and progressive wild horses springs and single shocks up front.
The motor is a built 351 windsor out of a 92 bronco that is bored .030 over with 9.75 hyperutectic pistons, roller cam and lifters, 30lb hr injectors. It currently uses a a9l computer out of a 1991 5.0 mustang to deal with fuel managment. My current project is a paxton supercharger and using a tweecer fuel managment program and who knows I ma get silly with some nitrous down the road.
The transmission is a built aod non electronic style using a low low rv stall converter for rock crawling.
The transfercase is a monster 205 that is stock it just barley fits between the frame rails but it is tough and take the abuse.
The body is stock other than a glass cowl hood with gas struts and some nice flares and some nice dents from flopping it on its side and tight trees. It has a full exo skelton I built. The exo can be removed or installed in about a half hour by one person, it is all integrated into the body and the bumpers. The front bumper I built to hold a conventional warn 9000lb upright and a couple of KC lights and a couple of crawler lights aimed backwards at the tires. The rear bumper has a swingout tire carrier built using a extra front spindle,bearings,hub, and lockout for those trail side repairs. the other side is a swing out cooler and gas can rack. This bumper also has backup lights integrated into it so they cannot be smashed by rocks.
The interior has honda prelude seats, grant gt wheel, custom centerconsole houseing the autometer guages and all of the switches and relays for accesories. The dash has been modified to have the speaker grille and the glove door switched sides so the cage does not block the glove door. Other than that the dash is stock. There is a cb mounted in the cage over head and a jvc head unit mounted in the dash the powers four polk audio speakers and two ten inch subs with the help of two kenwood amps that are hidden in the rear quarter panels along with the arb compressor and air tank. The interior has major sond deadening added to get rid of the tincan sound, this is all hidden by diamondplate interior panels.
