Great Job on the Build!.. I have a '93-EB 5.8... it's pretty clean and still 99% Stock.. I really like the final results you finished with on this project bronco.👍🏼👍🏼
Hey man nice build. I got my 94 and I’m looking to upgrade my suspension and add bumpers that don’t look too bad. You guys have done a good job of keeping it a little classic. I’ll be stealing those wheels. Thanks for sharing
Similar to my biuldDesolate is good with Broncos for sure. I had them install my bedsideson mine. But the body work that took me some time was the change from the front 87 bullnose to the 96 needinng fiberglass fenders I got a hood core supportand the rest for the newer body style I just like the look betterjust IMO
have a 1996 xlt bronco with 125k miles. looking to do a partial restore as it was a west coast rig and has minimal rust spots on the rear fenders. how much do you figure it would cost to have a reliable shop get it modernized? for example.. update electrical, headlights, suspension, exhaust, brakes, tune up, and a few other necessary items given its age.
A rear main seal is about $20, but takes 8 hours to replace. A set of main bearings are about 25, takes 20 hrs. That math doesn't work. If somebody wants to get their money out of a project, buy a Camry and find a new hobby. "What it's worth" and "what I'm willing to spend" are not the same thing. I tell my clients that we're grown men, and this is real money. You don't work for free, neither do I. There's only a couple ways to build a project vehicle: dollars backwards to workload, necessary work (usually as an upgrade if possible) to a base cost, and specific work = budget (aka, "send me an invoice when it's done). Anything else is ambiguous and allows interpretation that can lead to a lack of trust and friction with the client.
@@CodyCrafted agreed. i had a low mileage 1968 ford mustang that i bought in 'fair' shape and over a 16 year span probably spend over four times what it ended up being worth when i had to sell it. i get it.. labor is going to cost a fortune.. but you cannot look at it like that. its about what you are willing to sacrifice to make your project work for you. i am not looking for a frame off resto. it runs pretty well given its age (low mileage west coast truck). it does need tlc after nearly 30 years and I am doing my research before I get too far into the project.
You should have ran the exhaust out the corner like originally planned. Dumping under the body is a terrible idea on those broncos. Stinks up the cab when not moving and the fumes roll up into the back glass if its down when driving.
@@CodyCrafted Didnt know it was big money to finish out a tail pipe? lol How much do you guys charge?! I daily drive a 93 Bronco and a 4runner with roll down rear glass. I had to change to side exit on both, the dump underneath is just lazy.
Are either of your trucks running a long travel rear suspension with relocated reservoir shocks, boomerang shackles, receiver hitch, and torsion sway bars? If it was simple or worthwhile without sacrificing suspension and/or ground clearance, I'd have done it. In addition, everything on the channel (as of this posting, except the red 89 suburban) is a customer build. Not all decisions are 100% up to me. The complications were clearly covered in the video. The customer and I deemed it was not worth the effort at this point and if he wants to change it in the future, the system is built to be serviceable and we'll do whatever he wants (within reason)
Yea the only real difference was the intake manifold and the cylinder head. But that 7.3 Godzilla would be sick to swap in. I’d love to be able do that to my 95 extended cab 4x4 and SAS it. But I’m not that rich. Maybe one day

Thanks!
That winch is LIT 🔥
He’s right about the rear exhaust pipe being a Problem with the roll down window
This one is doing great, it's either windows up a/c (or heat) on; or in motion.
Awesome. yall made that thing look sharp
Thanks! We love this build
What a great build. I love it. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure!
Amazing tyres
Glad you like them!

Shoot me an email, I'd be happy to get them ordered for you. We're direct with Method.
Where can i find your email?

I was waiting for you to get some air with that jump 😂
This one has so much travel it just floats. This is one of my usual test drive spots and I grew up off that road, I know it....intimately
Man I sold a 89 Eddie Bauer bronco the glittery blue one. It had a 5.8 in it. My greatest regret.
sick build 🏆✅✅ 🔥
Thanks!
Perfect for jumping 👌 🤠💯🤟 🌁 🚗 🚓
Almost. If you really want to jump it or smash whoops, it needs air bumps

Nice rims
Glad you like them!
The back axle /pumpkin 🎃 looks seriously BEEFY 💪 💯🤟🤠
Yeah, she's stout!
Where’d you get the rear bumper and all that extra stuff that’s on it?
The bumper is from ProtoFab
I do not see 5 on 5.5 lug pattern listed for Method wheels. Do you run adapters?
Plenty 5x5.5 options.
No spacers
I’m a big fan of desolate motorsports as well! Do the 35’s rub on the radius arms at full turn?
not with this offset
What rear bumper is that? I would love something like that on mine
Protofab
What part of TEXAS ??
We're in Burleson. Truck is in the area

The better question is: what are you comfortable spending?
Many times it's easier to start with a budget and prioritize backwards
@@CodyCrafted going to go out on a limb and say no matter how much I budget half will be labor costs.

Suspension so good makes the railroad tracks boring.
It really does. That's a crossing many people nearly stop at, and I was doing 30 😁

Time + material - parts cost = budget. I'm sure the customer will appreciate you chipping in to cover that additional cost. 😉

ProtoFab
33 gallon tank*😎🤣
220, 221.... whatever it takes
That doesn’t look like a lightning engine to me. I think that’s just a regular 5.8. 😂
Not that there's a lot of difference, but the long block is. The customer is considering a warmed up 408 stroker or a 7.3 godzilla as the next phase
Yea the only real difference was the intake manifold and the cylinder head. But that 7.3 Godzilla would be sick to swap in. I’d love to be able do that to my 95 extended cab 4x4 and SAS it. But I’m not that rich. Maybe one day
Bad asss build
Thank you @BOS9679
