Picked this 84 up last year as it sits below for 400 bucks green stickered. Put some new fluids in it, a muffler and a new ignition key lock cylinder. Into total truck for about -$600 including flush of all fluids.
Took it to the Rubicon and made it from loon to buck island and back w/ no breakages on stock axles :-o

Need stronger drive train.
Picked up an Early bronco Dana 30 front axle completely rebuilt w/ 4.10 gears, radius arms w/ new c-bushings, two track bars, two sets of steering and 2.5” lift James duff variable rate coils for an early bronco- all for -$200 total.
My current driveshaft bolted right in to the 30 and stays in w/ a fully cycled suspension.
We’ll wait to find that perfect deal on a Dana 44 then weld the spiders. Were keeping the 30 open for reliability purposes.
Went to ruff stuff specialties as its a couple miles away and picked up a diff cover for w/ recessed bolt holes. -$80

To any naysayers this is trailered only and does not exceed high speeds. Only for crawlen and dicken around in the mountains.
I’ll try and get better pics of everything in the daylight.

Need to get the exhaust fabbed up for clearance and then we’ll be on the con this weekend for the 4th of July.
