Well I figure I will share with you guys what I am doing with my truck. Try to put it all in one thread as I go. Nothin special just normal stuff.

Well I got stuff layin around for it already like a 5 speed, 2 t-cases, high steer, ifs power steering box/setup, new clutch, Aussie Locker for the front, 4:88's I just need to get my car going so I can start working on the yota. But this is what I have done so far...


It was like this when I got it...

Had to rebuild the top end, New head, pistons, rings, rod bearings, timing chain, etc...

High steer and 1.5 inch spacers for the front to make it the same width as the IFS rearend I put in.

Putting the IFS rearend in. It gives you another 1.5" on both sides.

AND my latest upgrade :) 37" Toyos on Black steel rockcrawler rims. Oh and I had to put those stupid ass mudflaps on. They are removeable though. I keep getting tickets.

Looking great Brandon. I like it without gobs of lift and the 37's. Makes me miss mine bad.

Ya I'm going to lift it a little more not a lot though. Then Cut what I need to. going to go with 4" Trailgear springs and bilstein shocks.
 
Nice. Wish I could get the time and funds to do something like that to the Bronco.


Just a thought. Could you come up with some fender flares so you would be able to lose the mud flaps?
 
You have to have mud flaps in california... It sucks. I made them removable though so when I go wheelin I just throw em in the bed.
 
Damn she is good lookin, I'm selling my wrx in hopes of a yota or jeep.
 
Nice looking SCX-10, Brandon. Did you those Yota axles from RC4WD? They look really realistic. j/k It really looks like a fun project.
 
Oh my gosh lol! A buddy of mine had a blue Yota just like that and we painted it black. He was running the 22r and we THINK some shackle lift but we weren’t sure.

Nice rig! I have a Cherokee with a lot of bells and whistles (every one of 'em for off-road) and I love it. I’ll never, ever be without a 4wd rig. Especially with the zombies on their way. :D

My rig runs 4.88s (you’ll love 'em), locked front and rear on 35s, chromo shafts and outers, winch, CB, etc etc. it’s definitely fun to get out on the trail and play for a day! :)
 
Man Brandon, you're always building something. Looking good with the latest project!
 
Always wanted a full size Cherokee. Stacey David did one on Gearz or Trucks, can't remember which.

All of my vehicles are 4 wheel drive. The 2 Dodges are street queens though.
Bronco was the 'ol lady's DD for about 5 years. When I got her the Durango, I got a off-road beater. It's stock but we have had a blast with it. Take it to all those out of the way fishing holes. Maybe sneak out on a trail and do some target practicing.

Haven't been able to do much to it yet.
So far I've bumped up the timing, made a y-pipe for it and fabbed up a rear bumper. I'd like to do a winch bumper on the front before long. Doesn't matter though. As long as I can keep it running I'll have fun with it. :D
 
I blew it up :( Waiting on funds for a rebuild or new motor.
 
Sucks bro. Atleast their fairly easy to rebuild or to come by another.
 
convert it to brushless!!!

J/K hope you get it going again soon. what happened?
 
Not sure beason. Ya I found a frame up 83 with 150k on the motor and 5 speed for 300 bucks I just gotta get 300 lol
 
Well I broke it good... Broke a piston, rod, bent 2 valves and put a huge hole in the cylinder wall.

Looks like you were actually driving it, not like Rolex whose car sits in the drive way all the time being waxed and polished......
