Rocwagon's 96 bronco

[rocwagon]

Well the time has come, I sold my D44 and 9" and my 37's and my rockwells:D have ben delivered so now the build begins I am watching costs so the front is going to be leaf sprung using my stock rear bronco springs. the rear will be a link suspension , I am still tossing around differnt design ideas. I will post up some pics when I get a chance.

[Warrlord]

Can't wait to see the pics.

[bronc_17113]

[Tilt168]

[rocwagon]

[Walking Eagle]

You said that a couple of days ago.:D

[Swat]

Is it done yet?






























JK big cool project!

[rocwagon]

I cant find my damm camera:mad: :mad: . I ,ll take pics tomorow night when I sart the breakdown of the front rocky.

[rocwagon]

BTW colo4x4 has a bunch of weeneys on there . If the build isnt a jeep ,buggy, or Yota no one cares :rolleyes: . Oh well I was going to post there also but I guess I will post on the board where people have good taste

Yeah, Bloodbane made a thread about his 347 install & nobody there responded. If it was a Yota or Jeep with a 347 installed in it, there would have been 4 or 5 pages of responses. I've been thinking they should change the name to what it should really be called, coloradojeepenthusiast4x4.org. It's supposed to be a wheeling enthusiast site but it seems like another Jeep enthusiast site. I've met several really nice people from there & ran trails with 'em. I also met some met some really "high & mighty", "holier than thou", "if it ain't a Jeep-it ain't shit" people too...............I've learned to ignore them.

Sorry about the thread hijack Cory, can't wait to see your pics & wheel with ya again. :thumbsup:

[Heath]

Where's the pics? Its almost tomorrow night...

[rocwagon]

I tore down 1 side of the front rock the only problem is the axles are the ball universal type but it will have to do. I am going to buy a new camera and i'll try to post pics tomorow . I may need some help with this as I am a plumber and not a tech kinda guy.

That's the truth! Back in Nebraska and Kansas the Jeep guys were always coming up to me and telling how cool my truck was because it was different. Out here they practically give me the finger. I don't say a word, I just climb up what they can't get over like at China Wall. Some jeep guys are cool over on CO4x4 like TheMike, but they usually don't post a lot over there.

Cory, I think you need to resize them. I tried to open the link they came from and my server cant find it.

[Hypoid]

Shawn, look at the addy after you open the thumbnail. Lop off the first part up to www.snapfish.com (http://www.snapfish.com)

Meanwhile, I'll play around and see what I can get to post.

The images are not that big. Sadly, my computer kung-fu is much too weak to even begin to comprehend why I can't get images to post.

[SparkyXplorer]

[shawns 64 F100]

Sure has changed alot since I saw it that day at your house, looks like it belongs in a road warrior segment

[Hunter]

Looking like a MONSTER.

[Digger]

That is sick looking.

[rocwagon]

Guys, I still need a set of 4" lift rear springs to complete this beast .:thumbsup:

[shawns 64 F100]

I could have sworn there was a seller on E bay from louisville that sold them for a reasonable price, the seller might not be on there anymore, it was about 2 years ago when I stumbled across it

[rocwagon]

4 Link rear is built so i dont need any leaf springs any more

[bronc_17113]

sweet cant wait to see it cory

[rocwagon]

Well drive shafts are in and I will drive the bronco around my property today

[bronc_17113]

[rocwagon]

well I tried to start the bronco but i have no spark? I am guessing that I fryed my ignition module that is bolted on the fender when i used the plasma torch cuting them out so if any one has a spare siting around i'd buy it from ya..

unfortunately i think my stuff is too old but if im wrong cory knows where the house is he can walk out to the parts rig and pull what he needs lol

[Swat]

Dayamn! Rock Monster? I gotta see that thing in action. Looks great. Good luck with the ignition. I just went a few round with my 90 iggy and finally thnk I got it fixed with a computer replacement.

[rocwagon]

I'll try a new ignition module tomorow afternoon . Keep your fingers crossed.
BTW: does anyone know if the computer has an interlock if you take out the gas tank or if you unplug the the ABS motor and ABS module??

Hey can you pull codes and or test it first? I mean it could be, faulty wiring, the coil, ignititon pick-up in the dizzy, the computer or the ignition module. I have found my Hayens manual to have good step by step directions for testing the components. Pull codes and they give a place to start.

Have you checked-out http://www.fordfuelinjection.com ???

[rocwagon]

I had the Ignition control module checked out ok. I found the enertia switch and the button seems to be pushed in all the way. about pulling codes it would have to be done with a scan tool beacause my dash lights are a bit jacked up and I would get a bunch of abs codes and my check engine light has ben on for 2 years due to a rammed out cat. so if there is anyone that has a scan tool thats willing to drink beer and help figure this out that would be cool..

[Swat]

I have a code reader which basically just counts flashes. I paid $40 duckets but see autozone has one cheaper. now: http://www.autozone.com/selectedZip,81028/initialAction,accessoryProductDetail/initialR,3941376/shopping/selectZip.htm

It wouldn't be worth your time and gas to come get mine. I am also trying to work out a few bugs so it is being used. Let me know though we might hook-up.

[crawlin91]

Any progress on this build?

[bronc_17113]

I am pretty sure cory sold this truck months ago
