Finally got paid, so we are rollin again :smokin: Got to the scrap yard on saturday and picked up a few things. I got a piece of 1'x2'x.25" thick plate. Also, i decided to take the advice of everyone that has seen the truss and i got some beefier stuff for it. I picked up two 1.5' pieces of 2&q...

And during all of this cleaning, I also juggled my other task. I welded up the spider gears for the front axle. I plan on getting an OX locker for this project eventually, but the Lincoln locker will do just fine for the time being, especially since its free. Here’s how I did it: Started with 2 piec...

So after that adventure I took a break and decided to finish the job on the axle. I rotated it back to normal to get to the diff cover, popped it off and went for the carrier. The cordless impact driver made short work of the bearing caps in the diff. Then I got out the big prybar and popped out the...

And now here’s my doubler. Its a Borg-Warner 1350/Dana 300 doubler. Now aside from the cost of the cases, this doubler cost me a grand total of about $100. It can do 1:1, 2.48:1 (BW low), 2.62:1 (D300 low), and 6.5:1 (double low). Here it is: http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e329/BigDusty79/Bronco%...

Hey everybody! I started this build a while ago and I just decided to post it up here. It was posted on a few other sites so if some things say today or or seem out of order or don’t quite make sense, that’s why. Anyway it’s a super low-budget trail rig/rock crawler starting with a 1988 Bronco II th...
