If he will just finish up what he has started he will be fine.. BUT NO.. Tonys got to do everything at once..
Must be a Tony thing... I suffer from the same affliction - get it close then tear something else apart. I can see how these Broncos often become garage shelves.
This will have to be it for a while. Just about out of Bronco money. Just waiting to see how long the rear drive shaft will have to be when I stretch this thing out.
Rick, I allways have beer in the garage fridge.
Spent the day grinding and cutting sh!t off of the frame today . By the time I was done I looked like I'd been workin in the coal mines all day . At least the part I was dreading is done now. Can't get back to it untill Monday.
Here's some less than exciting pic's.

Cutting crap off the frame is never fun.
Not to bring up a sore subject... but I thought you sold your old wheels and tires a while ago. I see at least one or two of them in the background. If you still have them around I may be interested again in a couple months. I went into tire sticker shock after Monday's adventures in tire damage. $205 a pop for BFG ATs in LT285/75/16 for my truck! I can only imagine what they get for 35s and up nowadays. Fuggin inflation!
Look'n good Tony. Grinding off the old brackets does suck! So are you going to move the rear axle back while you are installing it? How far back are you going?
At least 4" but I think I can get more. Have to see it with tires on before I melt the brackets on.
And Tony, I do still have those tires and rims. I'm in no big rush to sell them. I'm sure someone will need a good set of tires and rims eventually, and by now everyone knows that I have these.

Been lagging on this. Put in about 2-3 hours today and got to this point. With the rear end in this location my wheelbase is 98.5". Tires aren't quite centered in the opening, should have waited to cut the openings until now but oh well. What you think, leave it here or move it slightly forward and center the tire in the opening.
