Valhalla's Long term build thread

[Valhalla]

It was! The bumper was still rough, but I'd highly recommend it.

Bumper looks nice. But it seems that the headlights sit right behind the bar after the body lift. You might need to do some fab work and modify the bumper bar to clear the headlights.

So this is where we are at with my 37 pizza cutters (12 wide) swampers, I'll measure height in a few

Yes sir the plan is to add 3" to the bull bar after the next windrock run, till then I'll survive, wish the rock monster wheels were here, oh well next month then I can run 2 psi....

So at the end of the day I got .5" clearance height for my 4k investment. We'll see how it does off highway later. It is now 3.5" taller.

They had only put 34 psi in the tires, I got another full inch of height by putting them at 40 psi, of course I plan on running 15 psi till my wheels get here off highway and then 2 psi. I temporarily fabed up the stock rear bumper until I build one.

I like it. I am looking at this bumper too. It seems to sit different in these other pics I've seen. Higher up on the hood. Is it just pic angles?

 

[Valhalla]

3 " body lift, I'll be modifying my bull bar, the other pics are correct... however if you do the body lift it covers the gap no mod needed, flare trimming required....

 

[deesle]

Ha of course. Dunno how I missed that. I was almost about to add that bumper to cart when I came across this thread. Looks like it's a bit of a bear.

It's awesome. Don't put the winch on till you are ready to mount, it gets in the way.

 

[deesle]

That makes sense. And you fit that 12k winch on there which from their docs looks like they only fit 10k.

BTW I had that exact same 90s bronco. 1996 XLT Green exterior/tan interior 351W. Still miss that thing.

this is the bar sawed off the ARB

This is mached up preparing to weld

mostly welded(I ran out of shield gas)

done for now, I have to get some thin Guage to finish "prettying" it up.

 

[Valhalla]

So, 3 wheels came today... mind you I talked to Northridge 4x4 today and they said Hutchinson was showing a date of 5/2 for these to ship.... I hope the last one comes tomorrow....

Do you guys want me to post pictures of installing the tires on a 3 piece wheel?
