Here it is guys, my 1990 Bronco II 4x4 w/a 2.9L V6 and a 5 speed manual. Not in the best of condition, but its just gone be a daily driver. I've got another car to get the looks haha. Build will probably be slow because i have a more important build on my hands but as soon as it's done, this will be top priority!

Plans for the build:
- Tires.... Jetzon Mud Claws
- Brakes... Warn Brakes
- Cold air intake for a quicker redline when playing haha
- Exhaust.... single into a Y pipe
- A few white LED light stips in the interior
- Sound system... pioneer head unit, 2 pioneer 6's, 2 pioneer 6x9's, one Sundown SA-15 D2, and 1500W MB Quart Onyx amp
- HID conversion
- Go Light
- Brush Guard
- Billet Grille
- New wheels (probably black cragars)
- 4" suspension lift
- Larger wheels (probably 36's)

Is there an easier way to add pictures? lol

EDIT:
Things that i BELIEVE have already been done (im not working on it, my uncle has it a few counties over in his shop):
- New battery, fuel tank, fuel lines, sending unit and rings, alternator, oil filter, thermostat, plugs, wires, distributor cap, and rotor button.

I would be doing this all myself, but my papa bought it for me and took it to my uncles shop to have him do it. Anything that needs doing when i get it will be done by me and from my pocket (unless im not capable skill wise). This is coming from my papa's pocket... im not complainin bout that part hahaha! Just dont want u guys to think im some teen who just gets his parents checkbook and gets someone to do stuff on their vehicles for them. I would rather work on my own shit than take it to someone to have them do it for me. It makes for a learning experience and more respect towards the vehicle.

yeah i think its easier than doing attachments

well the rods and axles are actually straight. its my geometry thats off. you see how yours is horizontal? after those coils i swapped it tipped my suspension and steering linkages at a weird angle.

so

with a drop pitman arm and drop brackets for the axle beams it should straighten it all back out, and get rid of my hellacious bump steer.

EDIT: this will explain it better

you should just cut the springs a little, it would help save you money
though u are probably trying to avoid loosing the lift those springs gave you huh?

Don't worry bout the CAI. The stock intake is just as good if not better than aftermarket. Welcome and nice B2.

I use photobucket. Just make sure that you don't delete or move pictures once they have been linked to in a post, otherwise the pic disappears in that post.
