Re: Big Gay Bronco Build
For anybody who wasn't at Potts, here are a couple of Jake's pictures of TBGB wheeling for the first time in a long time. It was a blast. I love wrenching, but I'm glad its finally done for the most part and I can wheel again.

I think I spit the caps out during some spirited night wheeling with Tom. We found three of the caps on the washout the next day after we found out that I only had 3wd on the obstacle before.CJonLP wrote:Whats the story behind the axle joint?

Re: Big Gay Bronco Build
Well then I'm hoping it was after the u-joint failed.

Yeah it was. Probably could have gotten it if I would have aired down and spent some more time trying, but it wasn't worth it IMO.UNIMOG-GUY wrote:Well then I'm hoping it was after the u-joint failed.

We thought that night wheeling was harmless, ha! It was fun though!BadAssEddie wrote:

Re: Big Gay Bronco Build
Just a few pictures of what's been going on with the Bronco. I have 35 spline chromos and drive flanges going in this week as well.
Some cheap waketower speakers for so I can listen to Justin Bieber while wheeling:
21st century light bar to replace the 1980's Chuck Norris lights:
Cut off the old stock crumple zones to try and straighten things out a bit and setup for a bumper and new winch in the future (WIP):
Hit a tree:
I'll post some more pictures when I'm done with the front end and everything's back together.

Re: Big Gay Bronco Build
For those who aren't around as much, I've done a couple of things to the BGB. Need to redo my cargo setup since my new tars trashed an Action Packer and my fuckin' coooooler. So there will be some hardcore tech coming soon
I need to take some more pictures and do a real update but for now:
I dovenosed the front (still need to do the hood) and bought some 40" LTB's. 4WheelParts had a good sale so I got them just in time for Big Dogs this year.
