Clemet's 1994 Ford Bronco Hauler Build

That comment isn't really relevant to this thread.

So you smoke king size rolling papers?

The current wheels and tires I have on there are planned to be winter tires, since the wheels I want are similar to the ones above but polished, and rain + polished or chrome do not mix very well. The truck is going to be used to haul, tow, and street driving yeah because I live by everything so I won't go too far.

Yeah most bronco's do have coil springs instead of leaf springs, I do know that. I've searched and sadly there are no coil springs larger than eight inches so the past owner decided to do leaf springs.
Here is the wheel/tire setup's I've been looking at.

I like the car!, at some point id love to have a lifted bronco for offroading.

this picture made me wonder though, what are you planning on using the car for? Just street driving, or are you building it for offroading as well? if your going to be offroading it a lot, definitely keep the set of wheels/tires in the original picture because you want small diameter wheels + big sidewall knobby tire for 4x4. The wheels/tires in this pic look like aluminum wheels with smallish tires (good for street driving but not 4x4)

That said, great work! and props for starting a build at 14. keep motivated on it!

Welcome! Nice truck, I ain't even mad. Bit of change is always nice, unless your gonna polobodydrop this thing

hey im a lurker with an account lol ive had an 86 ranger and bronco 2 and that front set up looks hella messed up to me. that axle on the rangers and broncos is known as a ttb set up. beams extend to where you have leafsprings and then on top of the axle is a coil spring. idk if ive just never really paid attention to fullsize broncos or if someone royally F'ed yours up

[Clemet]

Thanks for the love. The floors are clean original and this truck is rust free that's something I had on my checklist when looking for this. The owner was asking $2k but I lowered him down to 1k because of the " body work " I'd spend all my time on that and his wife wouldn't live another day with it. The truck isn't too bad on gas. As far as my plans are just a tall wide stance with some polished suspension components. The 22x14's I want will not look donk on this thing since it'll be on 38's. That's all I can say now since I'm on my iphone at school browsing tumblr and what not haha

You bought OJ Simpson's Bronco?

Well, first of all: Congratulations!

My brother is 14 as well and i don't see him going anywhere regarding cars in the future.
Sure, here we can't drive at 16 and most certainly we don't get those massive trucks for no way near that price range, too.
Being 14 and owning a huge truck like that makes someone feel special, I guess.

Personally, i'm not the biggest fan of lifted trucks (they're not really that useful 99% of the time you're driving them) and surely not that economical either.
But, you worked hard for it, you own it now and it's yours to do whatever you want to do with it!
I'd consider a not so "over the top" approach regarding the looks of it (those 22inch wheels are as massive and shiny as they get), i'd probably go a little low profile with that truck, enjoy it when i got my license, drive it and go to places with my friends in it, camp everywhere i could and do silly things with it.

Then i'd get a nice project car and use it as a trailer car. It'd be a killer one for that matter.

And you could still slap some ladies behinds driving a bit lower to the ground, because regardless of what people might say, that's why we drive lowered cars.

Body looks fine, interior looks decent ... i'm just here waiting for more updates, whenever they come!

Good luck, kid

Think of it this way, with the Bronco you have something to haul your future racecar and parts with. Sweet ride BTW! OJ Simpson would approve!

[d0wse]

Love it. I'm also a truck guy from heart. But real quick how are the floors? Solid i hope

[milano_red]

I see you're taking the "truck stance" route?

Totally in for the progress, at 14 I would have never taken on a challenge like this! Props to you bud!

[ThayQi]

When I was your age I wasted all my money on a fucking scooter.. I should have bought a car back then.. Cool thing you have a car at 14, and a cool one though!
Keep us updated, I'd love to see where this is going!

[Garrett B]

this thing is fucking sweet. keep going definitely.
