How to make 650k over a weekend. Build a wheeler. 🚜🚜🛠
This video is the one that convinced me to spend the $$$$ on the 4-link system that was so simple and easy to install. BUT, after weeks of issues, James Duff inc. is not standing behind its product. The manufacturing from them is quite literally terrible (pics available – reply to this post). The axle truss I received was 8 degrees off , from their prescribed pinion angle range. How do you solve this? cut it apart and re-weld it. The truss on the back of the differential is not parallel to the upper arm tabs on top. the rub? Yes it does… literally only the one point on the axle truss rubs on my gas tank. Can fix it? sure, with more grinding and welding, of course. But why spend your money on a product that is supposed to be ready out of the package , and so is poorly made you've got to grind it apart to fix it? I wish I didn't. On the bright side the finish / Powdercoat was beautiful when it arrived. too bad all of that got destroyed fixing all the manufacturing issues!! AND after weeks of trying to work this out with Duff, they are too busy now, and not standing behind their product. Help yourself – buy a kit that you can weld together so you haven't wasted your money on finish that you had to grind off and repaint anyway. Not to mention it will save you time too. You won't have to grind finish welds … only tacks! and I do know that 2 broncos are the same. But I can also put 2 straight edges on a truss and see that I can make better with less in my own garage.
Gotta suck to be names Brandon right now! Has to say it!
I didn't think 4 links had radius arms? Can someone explain, a bit of a newbie!!!!
How did you get this truck titledM
Power Nation
why use a 302 when a 351 Windsor weighs less and you can get more out of it and no fabrication needed
So…. you bought a Bronco and threw away the entire thing.
7:56 to 8:20 is a guide to preparing your woman 😂
Hopefully this rear suspension is better designed than the suburban suspension!
Raw frame? No paint or powder? Raw welds ? No paint? Rust will destroy
92 inch wheelbase and 800 horsepower. Sounds like a recipe for squirrelly.
Yeah it’s Caribbean tur – COOL!!!! ….it’s uh Caribbean turquoise… lmao
Great video! That suspension specialist you brought in looks like a real fart smeller 😆
Seriously though, these people in the comments…entertaining to say the least.
These guys are pretty badass good show
Don't get how a kit car like this is valuable? What's "Bronco" about it? Nothing, except the Chinese sheet metal "looks" like an old Bronco. Dumb…
I had a 74. Rust is an issue. Older Broncos had less rust. The later vehicles used cheap steel. They rusted from the inside out.
You can buy everything including a frame. So why not start with good new steel and build as a kit?
I cursed my 74, but miss it. 🙁
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Love the auto step on that other bronco
A fold down windshield is pretty cool.
Cool project. That front suspension is completely bizarre.
It’s a kit car. Not sure what they expect. Though it is nice. But it’s a kit car.
I love the 1966 to about '76 Bronco's. The main reason that those fords cant climb is that pre-independent radius arm suspension that allows very little flex, especially once poly bushings are installed. Same with 2008 era f250's.
I think it needs more shocks…😂😂😂
Beverly Hillbillies. Season 7 Ep 12. Jethro replaces everything on the truck into something that isn't the truck that he started with. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnOSzKf_jVs
Lets Go Brandon
Easily over 100K, I'd reckon TBH!
I understand placating sponsors, but damn, nearly 8 minutes at the beginning of the show just standing around jabber-jawing with the reason we can't afford old cars any more.
197fourd bronco
Why did they install the shocks on upside down???
Build a 292 ford Y-block
Is this really a restored mod or a kit Bronco . That should have a new vin number . Not a vin tag from a old Bronco . Vin tags are not to be removed from a motor vehicle . It appears that the old frame was tossed . So the frame number to original Bronco is gone as well .
👍
For the love of god rethink the paint job. 🤢🤮
Love the build, hate the color scheme.
Hammer price 65k… better have a build price break down…
Then they decided to paint the whole thing a butt ugly color.
Nice the million dollar question, cost 2 arms and 2 legs defnitly a kit build
Man love the idea of a brand new 1974 bronco 👍
Men spend big money and get nothing in return all of the time so a car is something that you know that you will have something nice after you have spent a lot of money.
Exelente trabajo felicitaciones
Can we just acknowledge that this is a kit car and not an original Bronco?
