Took out the old cage and test fit the new one, it actually fits really well. Going to be pulling it back out for paint.

Very nice ! did you use a disc brake conversion kit for the 9"? if so what brand. I really like those beadlocks where you able to get the tires balanced or are you using bb's. Bronco looks awesome!! |

Started picking up stuff for the ZF5 swap: Have/enroute ZF5 Cross member Master cylinder/clutch rod Clutch pedal Upper shifter Flywheel Need to get Clutch set Slave cylinder Engine plate (what works?) Anything I am missing? |

Do you have the clutch line? Also- the fluid? I recommend the Redline MTL. |

If you end up buying an Atlas, I have a 3/4" spacer kit that I didn't use. Let me know if you need it. |

It will be fine, tube work is going to be kind of like the Scout below, all the stock sheet metal will bolt back on. Threw in a shot of the front axle almost done. I am looking forward to seeing how the tube work comes out.

Front end waiting on hubs while the motor gets buttoned back up. Went to do the Explorer front dress swap and found some leaks and the need for a new timing chain, gears, and oil pump.

I think I am having withdrawals since my Bronco is in the shop getting tube work, etc. done. Got a chance to do some Bronco related work today. Picked up stuff from powder coating and started reassembly. Pedals are now ready for the ZF5 swap and rebuilt with all new bushings and pads.

That looks great. I'm jealous, I wish I had a tubing bender (and the skills to use one). |

Transmission and T-case swap getting started, ended up pulling the motor since it was only bolted to the trans. Having the tubing removable is working out well.
