driving to fast with too much attitude

Thanks dad. Lol the attitude didn't have much to do with it. But fizzy I was ok the harnesses did a damn fine job keeping me safe. Got out with a cut lip and thats it.

well glad to hear it i flipped my last jeep at speed after hitting black ice. did you try to miss a squirrel or just felt like swerving lol.

Driving to fast for conditions, those being rain and non siped tires.

[frejeep14]

where's the pic's and progress on the new truck?????

[MReeceW]

Nonexistent? To those who don't know what he's talking about im replacing the 92-96 nose off of the f150 with a nose from an 87-91. Due to rot on the fenders of the 92-96 and i have everything for the 87-91 nose. Next up is swap the front axle in and by then I should have the tranny and rear driveshaft so i gotta put the broncos t-case and then get that all set and she can hit the trail.

[frejeep14]

make sure take good pics of the axle swap show people it can be done

[MReeceW]

Its the same frame 4x2 to 4x4 except for leaf spring mounts, I'm really not proving anything.

Oh and a progress pic as of about an hour ago time being about 7 pm now.

Too bad about the Bronco... Glad you're okay.

Is the objective to drop the Bronco's drivetrain into the truck?

Edit: I pwned my Jeep's face too. Not quite that bad, but it laid it up for three months until I could get the parts I needed and get it put on a straightener.

Thats the general basis of whats going to happen. The axles (the truck's rear end has 2.73's and the bronco has 3.55's so I have to swap both and it will be a little more torquey for the trail and with the 33's), lift and transfer case are going into the truck, the bronco was an auto and the truck is a stick so I'm getting a new M5OD tranny to replace the 2wd one, I prefer the stick even though auto is generally easier to wheel.

Just finished up working the F-150 for the night with my buddy randy (he will be joining soon, he just bought a rig to build and wheel). We managed to get a lot done for a short bit of time with only hand tools. We had to change the cowl in front of the windshield and take off the bumper, after that we got going on hanging the passenger side fender and getting all that set up.



And a little sneak into what randy has in store for yall when he joins.

Was just going through some pictures on photobucket and I realized I haven't posted any wheeling pics.








And one of me racing the bronco at the Speedbowl

Finished up the truck today. Here it is about 4:00 and then after some dinner and other stuff here it is about a half hour ago.
