skid plates,
mount and plumb cutting brake,
mount rear shocks,

[broncomitch]

Well...Unfortunately my doubler will not be here in time..
so once again it looks like its going into storage till I can buy a welder....
or finish LT's dodge so I can take it to my brothers house to finish it...
ether way I'm out of time....and probably won't be able to get it on the trail this year ether...

Honestly, I'm about ready to part this thing out...

 

[jinxspot]

chill out buddy... this thing is going in a waaaay good direction!!! maybe you just need to get out on a trail riding gun for a few to get your motivation back when you return with doubler parts! If you absolutely need place to store it in a working garage, I think I could find some room for ya!

 

[sixb]

Yeah let's through a pity party for Mitch! You should be more grateful for what you have and stop dwelling on what you don't have. Also now would be a good time to thank the ones who have gone above and beyond to get you here!!

 

[jinxspot]

Oh and BTW doublers, beadlocks and big tires are waaaay over rated!!! hahhaha (I know you wanted to hit TTC 2013, but since ya didn't, a run what ya got attitude will get ya out on the trail and gives ya a chance to see how it reacts in the wild and replenish your wheeling soul while ya do it)

 

[broncomitch]

You bring the drinks Dave lol

I am very gratefull to sixB and ches and Ryan and Sean for all the help.
without them it wouldn't be where it is at all..

and yeah, I'm really burned out and tired fiscally and mentally and just want it done so I can get out beat on it for once.

but busted some stuff out today and not going to part it out. Lol

 

[broncomitch]

And thanks Ryan, I think I'll be okay but will for sure let ya know!!

missing Dave's bronco so you want another one over there,huh??

 

[jinxspot]

Hahahaha, no problem dude... you known it probably wouldnt take much to twist my arm and get me in an old boxy set up!

 

[EB101]

It's not very convenient but I know where a welder is you are welcome to use anytime. You can't have my spot in the garage though.

 

[Bart]

Hang in there Mitch. The rig is looking AWESOME. You're so close. Are there any alternatives to "The Doubler"? It's a shame the whole project is held up for one part, but it happens.

 

[broncomitch]

Thanks,
It's stupid close... Just have rear shocks and rock sliders left...and the doubler..

Not really..

i have so much flex in the front I need a CV and without the doubler to push the Tcase back the CV will hit my transmission..

I would half to re gear the axles cus 4:10's-44's-205 = no bueno lol

he said he shipped it out yesterday and the shifter will ship today...but we will see....I have not gotten a tracking number yet.

 

[broncomitch]

Tnels came over a little bit ago and got the bump can's rotated and bumper braced and rear brake lines run.

yesterday I hacked together a rear drive shaft and got the brakes semi blead and actually drove the bronco for the first time in almost 2 years!!

going to finish the rock sliders done tonight and ether tonight or tomorrow load it up and take it to my house..

doubler will be here on the 1st..shifters unknown

 

[Bart]

Shifters are overrated.

 

[ChestonScout]

Ive wheeled with plenty of people that had to climb under their rig to shift the t case!

 

[broncomitch]

I'll probably be one of them lol

doubler will be here tomorrow, shifters are unknown.

Luckily, I was able to finish most of the bronco yesterday before we moved out of the shop.

all that's left is the rear shocks and doubler stuff. A solid weekend worth of work and I could be on the trail.

Figure sense I half to store it for a wile ill start on the body work and get it ready for paint till I figure out what's going on with finishing it.

ill post up pics in a few.

 

[broncomitch]

Okay, the doubler didn't show up in time and we moved out of that shop saturday but I did have enough time to get the sliders cut and welded to my cage and frame and patch the holes in the body and make a tranny cooler mount.

All that's left is rear shocks, doubler, shifters, cross members & skid plates


Also hacked together a rear drive shaft and drove the bronco around the parking lot!!!


Not a big fan of the air shocks but they will work for now for sure.


And the hydro boost is just tits!
The brakes need blead really bad but even so I can still stop pretty good.


The doubler showed up yesterday and hope to get it together today after work.
and not sure when I'll be able to install it but it's pretty much a weekend away from being on the trail ,witch is a very good thing.


I need to do some major organizing in my garage before I can shoe horn it in there. Lol
It should drive in with almost 2" to spare but we got so much crap in there it's going to be crowded but at least it has a home

 

[sabatoa1]

Good to see that you are almost done, If you need any help getting it done give me a call!!!

 

[brandonlmb]

Nice job Mitch, have a little more patience and the Bronco will be out in the dirt. I would get in to big of a rush to get it on a trail It Is To Fawking Hot!!!
