Had a 93 Eddie Bauer loved it the 351 was kind of weak but the breaks were good, I wish i would have kept it! Nice ride can't wait to see the finished product.

No. Desolate is way too expensive. You’d think they were building lambos. I went with Threat towers and radius arms and Ohhcho Fab beams. If I could do it over again I’d do all Ohhcho Fab.

i have seen some the Ohcho fab stuff and really liked it too. i would really like to build a mild bronco, but having a 10 moth old and buying a house this year the wife would kill me. did not know that about Desolate, never asked.

Awesome build. Did the arms come with the shock tabs? I think they should be turned so the shock bottom run run with the travel and don't bind. Also the tabs will be running with the arm and not across. Love me some whoop sciscors.

A buddy is looking to sell this if any one you know is looking, his red one is way legit I’d buy if he’d sell it, damn 75 year old dude with all kinds of cool offroad toys.

I had a 91 with auto fab and national spring leafs. Bob the owner of national spring set me Up!
It was super comfy to ride and tow with

that is the one that got away!

My buddy has one built by LeDuc and it’s super reliable runs flawless - does Mexico all the time! He doesn’t have big power which I think helps him keep things together...

Nice! Been seriously looking into another desert build, and a Bronco is on the top of the list at the moment.

Following - My 92 is pretty much stock by design. Finally got the oil leaks fixed. Had to pull the motor to fix leaking oil pan gasket. While motor was out, put on some headers. Running open headers, and loud AF. Need to get exhaust back on to pass inspection and new tag.

Thanks for all the nice comments guys. We’re in Aruba for a week so when I get back I’ll keep posting pics.

I got everything back from the machine shop. Got new brakes, ball joints, wheel bearings, tie rods. I did Threat towers and boxed radius arms. Ohhcho beams that have been cut & turned stock length on uniball. Radius arms are on heims. I also did 456 gears and I put limited slip in the front to match the factory rear trac lok. It should have about 19” of travel front and rear. I’m keeping this car. It’s perfect for our family and Mexico trips.
