Not sure if this would help or not, but it would move the shifter back closer to the seat.

Yea this is the kind of setup I'll build, Had to build one for another crawler I had and it worked fine.

I don't think your gonna like that one link setup. Just like a radius arm setup it gives shitty squat #s. I love how original this build is though.

It's all good, probably be a lot of things I won't like about it but hey it's a 4x4 Pinto with a BBF, Nitrous and 40s, what do you expect?!?!?! ;D

Why does everyone always say that? Make the link parallel to the ground and the AS numbers are not bad. Allies Kid Buggy has a one link and I'm just gonna leave that here. Do some research on a wishbone suspension and follow the rules. It will outperform your expectations if built properly.

Ran out of materials and started getting busy at the shop so here's where we are.

I want the bronco!

Clean ass bronco! !

96crawler · Mar 28, 2014

A buddy of mine hooked me up with some materials he had laying around so I was able to get the trusses built while I'm waiting on parts to show up for the Bronco.

Mounted my bumpstops too.

Everything is tight but the truss goes in between the oil pan and crossmember when I bounce it so all is good.

Is the Bronco for sale?

96crawler · Mar 30, 2014

Probably $20k +

I've decided that I'm going to tear my 95 F350 apart and use the motor with harness and computer, clutch, fuel tank and lines, radiator and fans, steering and shocks on the Pinto. The axles, wheels and tires will be used on my F250.

The Donor

This truck works really well and I hate to tear it apart but I think the Pinto is going to work better and draw more crowds!

Not trying to hi jack your thread but my buddy built this when he was 16 and wheeled it pretty hard till he rolled it this year. It's cool to be bouncing around on the trail and see a car out there.
