Beautiful bronco!

 

[dezertrider]

Doing the dash work is normally at the end of the build and this project has been on going for way to long. I’m glad I didn’t skimp on the dash work because this is so bad ass now.

Looks good!

Going to be a show bronco when it’s all finished.

Pretty sure that dash is worth more than my whole pre runner

That dash gives me wood.

How will you finish the dash? Are you going to leave it raw as is, or have it covered?

Raw until I have it upholstered to keep the sounds down in the cab

What are the 2 sticks for? Transfer case and what’s the other?

I believe the twin stick is to control the transfer case. One stick is essentially 2wd - neutral - 4wd, the other is high range and low range. The best thing about it is you can put it into 2wd low range if you desire. That's how I understand it, but I could be mistaken.

The twin transfer sticks/levers control the transfer case

neutral, low range and high range
One lever stick is for the Frt axle and one for the rear axle

you can run around in Frt wheel drive low range and have the rear axle in neutral free wheeling, or vise versa...

some even have a lower geared unit for a 3rd lever.

 

[Backlash]

Congratulations I know you have to be excited! It's been a long time coming but I'm sure its worth the wait!!

 

[dezertrider]

So far the first trip out is going pretty well. We did about 70 miles yesterday and hit every terrain possible. It did pretty well in the sand too. Lots of power in all RPMs

 

[Sherpa]

that is a beautiful truck and build. those guys weld like nobody's business. I wish I had someone who could show me how to set up my tig to instruct me
on the basics....... I've been fabricating and welding since jr high, so that's over 55 years....

on a sidenote, I'm curious to what number your Atlas is...... I have number 653....... and it's just now being installed...lol. don't laugh.

cj7 on steriods., Dart iron LS7, Dana pro rock 60's, atlas, 6L80 trans, 2.5" sway away coilovers, 42" treps on raceline beadlocks. I've been BURNING UP
my credit card since august for parts. I'm tired of waiting.

[dezertrider]

We have had a fucking blast in this thing. I’m getting more comfortable in it and pushing harder and it’s taken every thing so far.

 

[t&y]

Has your son asked for it back yet?

He thinks the Can Am is his now lol

 

[rgsauger]

Amazing build. Congrats!

 

[MeCasa16]

I think I have come back and re-read this build about 3 times... Someday... That dash is so incredible. The whole build really.

 

[dezertrider]

We were just in Parker working the kinks out. I think we have everything close to dialed in so this summer we will tear it down, paint it and upholster it.

 

[Backlash]

More pics please!

 

[baja-chris]

Awesome tin work!
