Re: Leumas12's (big) little bronco build

the trick is to find a girl who loves the truck and enjoys sunbathing/reading while watching you work, not to mention pressures you to finish it so she can go 4wheeling :D (I think she's gonna steal it when i finish it hahaha)

Re: Leumas12's (big) little bronco build

The 14 bolt has brakes and has been painted so i figure i would throw the pic on here: http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e329/BigDusty79/Bronco%20II/1-19-...

Re: Leumas12's (big) little bronco build

You're off to a great start. I sure have a lot of respect for people that make their own stuff. Make sure you post an update from time to time. I will probably post more than you want me to :D I tend to take more pics and make more posts than necessary but i figure the more detail i go into, the mo...

Re: Leumas12's (big) little bronco build

I turned the steering arms around. I figure that since Im running full hydraulic steering I might as well make the ram as protected and out of the way as possible. Heres what they look like now. http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e329/BigDusty79/Bronco%20II/9-26-08002.jpg Also, I went a different rou...

Re: Leumas12's (big) little bronco build

Here are the pics of the welded in truss. I know the welds look like crap but they are strong. I beveled the ends of the truss so i have full penetration all the way through the truss. Anyway, here are the pics: http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e329/BigDusty79/Bronco%20II/Truss016.jpg http://i42.ph...
