Makes sense that's what I thought you were doing, pretty cool I like what your doing there the motor is way out to lunch but they way your making it all work is neat. trying to keep it all bronco that is, buggy's are cool but broncos that go where buggy's go is cooler.
The motor spent two years in here. I never had a problem with it cause we went through it during the build. I'm going to go through it again though to make some more power now that I've tested the setup, injectors, head studs, pulleys, and turbo boring. Hopefully I can get it to 350-400 RWHP. But ya the hole buggy thing is a big part of why I took it apart and decided to combine the two vehicles. Even though it was all Ford it had no soul. As you can see from the pick though the wheel base ended up being a little too long even for the 42"s that were on it. With the wheel base in the 95"-99" range it will be a lot easier to carry obstacles.
So back to the project. I was really knocking the steering around in my head for a while and spent half the day surfing the net reading article after article and going from company to company trying to find the strongest dependable setup. To my surprise I wound up buying a new set of outer knuckles. So here's what I ordered and here's the plan.
Currie Dana 60 Outer knuckles and High Steer Arms
Ballistic Fabrication Crossover Steering Ball Joint Kit.
I forgot to order new body mounts but Wild Horse is only two hours away so I should have them by Thursday any ways, so I can still finish setting up the steering, front crossmember, and cutting out the existing frame by the end of the weekend. I'm going to use a piece of 2" DOM and tie it into a steering box plate and a matching plate on the passenger side for the front.
