First Build

[THE ROCK]

Ive done lifts and other little odds and ends. Now im gonna skip a step and try adn build my own buggy.

I have an 84 bronco II that im gonna use for a base.

Full exo cage and do away with all the un-needed parts of the stock body.

I plan on running 38-40's

Im not sure on what axles and engine im gonna use, but i'd like to convert it to run propane.

For the time being im gonna run leaf springs front and back with and shackle reversal in the front. As the build progresses and if the budget allows, I will 4 link the rear.

And tons of other small odds and ends.


Im in tear down mode now so not many pics for awhile.


Any input is very much appreciated. (tips on engine and axle selection) I wont get pissed over constructive criticsim and im not gonna arggue over anything so . . .

You probabaly shouldn't run anything less than Dana 60s front and rear with that tire size.

I think a 302/351W would be your best bet. I'm partial to a Windsor(used to run them in Mustangs) and they the best bang for buck motor you could get! Run that with propane, a C4 or C6 transmission, 205 T-Case, 60's and 38's and you're set!
