Progress on my 66....

[Badlands]

I had hoped to have my hands on this by now, but I know Dan at Broncoconnection is doing a good job on this.

In the meantime, I've been playing with this toy I bought!

[Entourage]

The paint in the pics from Bronco Connection look amazing. This is going to be one beautiful truck. I wouldn't feel bad its taking a while longer, when it is looking that good.

That looks great. It'll be a sweet rig for sure. Looking forward to seeing it in person.

I am anxious for it to get here. Dan is suppose to deliver in the next couple weeks. My step son stopped in yesterday to check on it in Norfolk.Can't wait to bring it to an event/breakfast, etc. and get some ideas and pointers.

I would not say I am a pavement pounder, but will probably not be the adventurous off-roader many here are.
I want to keep the original look, down to the hub caps. What size wheel and tire would you recommend understanding I will probably not be crawling up the side of Longs Peak anytime soon. I want something that will work in weather, get me around and down a trail, but work for tooling around town and to and from work.

[Justin]

What size lift is under it?

[Badlands]

3 inch.

The Bronco has been upgraded with 77 Bronco Dana 44 front and big bearing rear axles. Power disc brakes and electric wipers.

200 cid 6 cylinder engine, 3 speed on the floor trans, 3" lift.

[ZOSO]

Id go 32x9.50 or 33x10.50

[Justin]

x2 depending on gearing. If you're running 3.5 or 3.73 gears the 6 cylinder may struggle some. For occasional use I'd find some old school looking mud terrains, but A/Ts may suit your needs better.

Updated! Hope to get it this weekend.

Next steps??? Careful or Zilla will have you driving over innocent cars in the parking lot.

Besides, you already know what needs to be done.

Hit the trails with the club!

Seriously, it looks really nice. Congrats.

I can't wait to see this gem in person !

[Badlands]

Tires scheduled for Monday morning. Going to go with a Goodyear Duratrac 31X9.5. Knobby and gnarly, fill some space, get er down the road in good order.
Need to get underneath it and drive her around a bit to see what is next, but it will look good and have a solid body and engine. Great start to a lifelong toolin rig for this old grandpa!!!

[Rox Crusher]

great tire choice........but then again I might be biased

[Moab Mike]

I officially have Bronco envy!

[cobshane]
