Your project with this is like me & my Mustang. Is there really ever a point where you say, "That's enough!!" There's always bigger and better stuff to add! Looks like fun though!! I drove a Jeep Cherokee with full-time 4WD and a 360 engine. I never bought all of the lift stuff though. It sure did pretty well with its stock stuff though!

Skyjacker lift? I see red.

I always wanted to lift my bronco, but I never could save up the money. Of course if I never got my stang and all that money I spent on it went into the Bronco, it'd have a 6" Skyjacker with 35" tires and 4.10s...

but no, I sold it. and now I miss it...

Here is a pic of her after I first bought her. She was NOT this shiny, the prev owner NEVER waxed her... so the paint looked like shit. But she was all original with just under 250k on the ticker. No leaks, no scratches, immaculate interior. Also came with class 4 hitches front and rear. Only problem was the gas gauge didn't work... Cost me 600 for it.

So here she stood after a quick buff...

Since then... in no particular order...

I installed an electric fan out of an 03 cougar.
I installed a stereo
My alternator caught fire, upgraded to a 130A 3G out of an SHO
Fixed the power steering box 3 times, and the pump twice.
Had many mishaps with trees, and have gotta angry and punched a few dents.
Drove through a few fences
Installed KCs, broke them.
Replaced stock tires for 31s, then 33" ATs that I got free
Replaced the mirrors a few times (on my 3rd set)
Installed a Hurst shifter

But she still ran great, no problems, until just over 250k the rear differential grenaded... Not the gears, or bearing or axles. No no no, the diff itself, the posi diff just fell apart on the interstate.

So I found another posi-traction rear for 150.

Then I found another bronco for 160 bucks. The motor had a knock, condition of c6 trans was unknown, and both axles were blown. But, it had mirrors, a gas tank with good sending unit, a windshield, good body panels, a 4 inch lift, new KCs, and a pushbar... all of which I needed. And the motor I can sell, and I have alot of spare parts now...

Now all that I have left to do is wheel bearings in the front, windshield, motor mounts, and some rewiring. I am gonna try to pop out as many dents as possible with out doing too much work, cause I really don't care about them. Get rid of the little bit of rust, and paint the truck... what color you may ask? BED LINER FTMFW!

So that my truck's life story since we've been together...
