With the front TTB after my first shakedown an 80 mile poker run. I did some rebuilding. I had cut and turned lift and long chomemoly radius arms on heims already. I gusseted and plated the beams added bigger top and bottom plates and a vertical mounts to the radius arms mount to the beams. I changed my spindles to 96 models with bolt on calipers over the hammer in clips. Put in the F250 slip shaft with F 250 U joint and got chromoly shafts. Longer outer shafts to change my factory only hubs to Warn on my year (manual hubs are strongest). All fresh U joints seals and ball joints plus rebuilt calipers and upgraded rotors with my still new bearings. The VERY IMPORTANT part was to cycle each side and clear any binds spinning the wheels in 4x4 from all positions up and down and steering directions . It took some time and grinding but got it all cleared gained travel and set my limit straps and bumps. It paid off and has been bulletproof in surprises and smooth with my Kings. Funny King is local and at contingency for the Mint 400 I set off to thank Bret for my shock tuning. When back at home looking at pics my girl took I see a close pick of BJ Baldwin. I say nice pic she mentions the kids in it I said do you know who this is when did you take it ? She does not know and I tell her. She says oh I took it when you had us on the misson to the King trailer. LOL I thanked Bret King and was introduced to The King himself both were happy with big smiles for my thanks. I told her BJ may have wanted to come with or pass on a thanks from him as he runs Kings LMAO You will be very stoked with your Bronco and this level of build doing it right.
@@nauidiver227 They did make them.There are four door full size Broncos not considered a bed that would make it a truck also some made with 4 doors and a long bed. Not the best off road but maybe for some built huge like a monster muddin truck but do not count on my comment for that I am not a mudder only do that if needed.
Definitely will be coming back to this series for motivation. At 17 years old, I’m working hard right now to save up to do a decently priced bronco build. I can’t wait to own one. Looking forward to the next vid!
That's some awesome products. I run a 88 bronco, it's a trail truck that sees mud , rocks, gravel forestry roads, deep snow bogging and lots of fishing and hunting. So it's got a 408w with 650 Holley double pumper, hei, np435 with 6.68to1 ratio 1st gear, np208 t case cuz it's the slowest. 1990 f350 axles. D60 n sterling 10.25 4.10 ratio. Both locked. Deaver 6 inch leafs and coils up front. Cage off road radius arms. I run 15x39.5x15 tsl s up front grooved and 18x39.5x15 boggers out back grooved. And for gravel n street I run 37x13.50x18 nitto mud grapplers on KMC xd809 wheels. Lots n lots of other mods. So 10 years running hard, hundreds of small jumps n crawling rocks with no issues. It's been such a tough rig. Love it
awesome. I owned a 84 Bronco for 20 years that I installed a mild lift into and other performance mods. I always wanted to build a pre-runner but even tho I didnt, that Bronco was the best multi purpose vehicle I ever owned. I drove it on numerous road trips and off roaded thousands of miles and it never once left me stranded. I always prefer a carb over efi for doing emergency diagnose and repairs. Just lower the float level and rejet for elevation and bouncy rides. Keep on wrenching!
I like that your showing the work and catching points, and not montaging past it. IMO showing the work and the problems you run into, make for the best and most helpful videos. Anytime I can learn something from someone else, and their tips and tricks, i consider a win. Thanks for the Video!
"if that don't make ya happy..." no no, I'm good, it does make me happy... but I'm really here for the TTB, many fond memories of that lovely contraption...
Used to work as a Ford dealer tech . I hated changing those in tank fuel pumps . I would build a door in the floor to access the pump . Then you can change the pump fast .
Makes my pro comp stage two, 4 inch lift on my truck look amateur! I think I had 18 rivets to cut since I also replaced my shock towers because of rot! Love the travel and ride it gave me so I can only imagine how this is going to ride ! Awesome video. I need some inspiration to further my project
This is a lot more work for non mechanics, beer is also involved. That means before editing there was cusin and buddy bashing going on. By the way what ever happened with the K-5 project? Did he get the engine decided yet really would like to see that beast get finished.
Holy Moly thats gonna be frickin Awesome!! Lookin for pt 2 now... I have an 88 and would live to have somethin like this done to it. Thanks for taking the time and sharin suspension dreams for a Bronco😎
hell yea falken wildpeaks! I just put a set of 33x12.50x15 wildpeaks on my bronco and they look like they should have came on it from the factory. Also those radius arms and skidplate are beautiful. I wish I could afford that skid, my bronco is stock and even though I don't offroad much I am always catching either the skid or the trailer hitch on all sorts of stupid shit and that aluminum skid looks like it's way sturdier and tucks up more neatly than the ugly stock skid.
@@BustedKnuckleVideo many times in different classes... Your bronco is cool.. I have bronco buddys. I just dont know why you put sway bar... But its every kit that you can buy from desolate lol.
If it doesn't work we will remove it. For shock tuning we always run a rear sway bar, the fact that your rig on coilovers and 4 links doesnt have a rear sway bar means you are leaving something on the table as far as shock tuning goes.
BustedKnuckleVideo there is nothin wrong with some time In the shop!! My dad and I do our own machanics ! We save sooo much!!!! I love working on vehicles!
in the live comments you say you only got a 2000 dollar engine budget but yet you got 6-7000k of suspension love it ! I am with every one its a ford keep it ford yo !
I'm curious why you didn't link the rear? Do some research on jumping trucks with rear leafs. They tear out of the frame. Look at the stock Ford Raptor that ran the Baja 1000 for an example
BustedKnuckleVideo well that’s a good point, I just thought it might have had something to do with the wheel base. Did you post any drive video of the bronco?
Watching every bit of this! Got the EXACT bronco and would really benefit off road use with these up dates... what are we lookin at for parts alone 22k?
how do you guys determine where to mount the coilover cage to get your desired shock angle? also how do you know what angle you want to mount your shocks at?
I’d be curious to see what your opinion is on bronco vs the jku....I get the jku can rock climb and all that but I’m currently looking for an off-road toy just for trail riding do not do any rock climbing or anything....I trail ride with my brother (raptor) other brother (JLUR) and other friends jku and I want to build a somewhat budget off-roader debating between this and older jku (with the 3.8) or tj because it will be just toy not a DD....just like the idea of the extra room of the jku but they are expensive even for older ones that’s why I think the bronco would be a cheaper alternative (I get suspension isn’t cheap but the buy is) I just enjoy jeeps (I own a CJ7) because of the open air feel but you have the half cab with the bronco I’d like to know your thoughts after she all put together would you rather have the bronco or a jku for trail riding not for rock climbing Thank you and keep up the good work !
Love the videos. Just bought all the parts I need for my suspension upgrade on my 94’ bronco. I’m a car guy and only have short jack stands. Where did y’all get those stands?

@@brianbirc there's no such thing.
Back in '93, my dad and I did a 4" Superlift on an 85 bronco... SO MANY RIVETS!!! Afterwards, that thing handled like a dream!
heck yeah

Christian Ortiz there are some good ways to budget build one for sure.

Now this is bad ass! Not too many people know what a pre runner is in your neck of the woods!
All the more reason for us to build one!

Man that’s a dream bronco
ripfletching just wait until you see it finished 😎
BustedKnuckleVideo hey I have a great idea 💡 you guys could give it to me and I’ll base a TH-cam channel about you guys and the bronco
Lol 😂
Lol this Ain't Diesel Bros
BustedKnuckleVideo I’m just having some fun
I’m not planning on doing this to my Bronco, but it’s cool to see all the guts coming out.
It's turning into one cool rig
Watching all of your work on the bronco makes me realize I need friends to help me work on mine!
Friends are key
I like that your showing the work and catching points, and not montaging past it. IMO showing the work and the problems you run into, make for the best and most helpful videos. Anytime I can learn something from someone else, and their tips and tricks, i consider a win. Thanks for the Video!
Glad you like the video, thanks for the feedback it really helps
"if that don't make ya happy..." no no, I'm good, it does make me happy... but I'm really here for the TTB, many fond memories of that lovely contraption...
they can be made to work so well
That welder sounds right on,. I used to weld for full throttle suspension.
Not bad for a knucklehead
I’m excited for part 2 now. And makes me wish I had a bigger garage to go start on my small lift project
haromaster1988 well finish it up and put it to the test!
This is such an awesome build . I love ford broncos.
We are loving it
I have been checked like every couple days can’t wait to see the end result
its coming and its awesome!
YOUR RIGHT YOU GUYS ARE TOO GOOD FOR TV STAY ON TH-cam AND THE BEST OF LUCK
Thanks!
What I could and would do with my Bronco, if I had the time. Awesome!
Can't wait to show everyone the end results of this build!
Used to work as a Ford dealer tech . I hated changing those in tank fuel pumps . I would build a door in the floor to access the pump . Then you can change the pump fast .
already done
Thats a sick set up.
it is so much fun to drive now
This thing is cool! Radius Arms are beautiful! Really like these build series!
Thanks! It's been a lot of fun, who knows what we will build next
Makes my pro comp stage two, 4 inch lift on my truck look amateur! I think I had 18 rivets to cut since I also replaced my shock towers because of rot! Love the travel and ride it gave me so I can only imagine how this is going to ride ! Awesome video. I need some inspiration to further my project
Josh Rosiak this is going to be nuts!
YEESSSSS.... Desolate!!! So Cal represent!
They killed it on the parts
Fantastic video!! Love it! Excited for the next one.👍
its been a fun one!
All those nice parts... awesome
yeah we might have went a little over budget....
Как мне нравится этот авто .я хочу себе такой.... молоцы ребята.удачи.👊👊👊
Благодаря этому сборка получается лучше, чем мы когда-либо могли ожидать.
It’s my Friday... normally get home right at 6:00 but I’m blowin this joint early tonight!!!!
Heck yeah!
Great video, can’t wait to see the finish
We are pumped
Cant wait to see tha beast fly
SAIL!
I had a 1985 Bronco I back in 1990 and put a 6 inch suspension lift on it with 35s.It took me 2 days .
But it wasn't NOTHING like this.
This is a bit more work I think lol
This is a lot more work for non mechanics, beer is also involved. That means before editing there was cusin and buddy bashing going on. By the way what ever happened with the K-5 project? Did he get the engine decided yet really would like to see that beast get finished.

Thanks for taking the time and sharin suspension dreams for a Bronco😎
it looks a little different now
OJ would love it.
Yes he would
MORE!!!!!!!!!!!! next ep please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EP3 coming soon!
Desolate makes some rad parts, gotta love go fast broncos 💪
we have been very impressed with the quality
Man thoughs swaybar brackets look great
its a nice setup
Looks good, don't remember if you show making the front bumper but I like it simple and clean.
14x4nut we didn’t show it, clean and simple for the win
Your videos are AWESOME 😎
Thanks!
Good job, with respect from Russia!!!
Играю в ТАНКИ!!! Thanks!
Looking real good
It'll look even better with Fiberglass fenders
Man I wish I could do this with you guys, my '90 Bronco needs this haha
it makes a world of difference
Fucckk. That some suspention kit going all out pro prerunner
It BAD!
hell yea falken wildpeaks! I just put a set of 33x12.50x15 wildpeaks on my bronco and they look like they should have came on it from the factory. Also those radius arms and skidplate are beautiful. I wish I could afford that skid, my bronco is stock and even though I don't offroad much I am always catching either the skid or the trailer hitch on all sorts of stupid shit and that aluminum skid looks like it's way sturdier and tucks up more neatly than the ugly stock skid.
Cody Brady we cant wait to try them out in the desert. Desolate skidplate is beef for sure.
I have a full coilover.. 4 link class 8 with no sway bars & it works great. Ive been racing score/bitd/code many years
Congrats! This isn't a race rig. It is build to be a daily driver that can also rip across the desert. How many times have you won your class?
@@BustedKnuckleVideo many times in different classes... Your bronco is cool.. I have bronco buddys. I just dont know why you put sway bar... But its every kit that you can buy from desolate lol.
If it doesn't work we will remove it. For shock tuning we always run a rear sway bar, the fact that your rig on coilovers and 4 links doesnt have a rear sway bar means you are leaving something on the table as far as shock tuning goes.
Gawsh dayumn that's one sick build ! Go all out or get hauled out am I right !? Don't see much can stop your angry horse now ! 💪💀✊
Itll be BAD!
I'm going to have naughty dreams about this bronco
It's going to be a mean machine!
Been waiting on this for a hot minute!!
Southern Ties SxS making broncos great again takes time.
BustedKnuckleVideo Oh yea without a doubt !! It’s gonna be a sweet build can’t wait to see more content on it
soon!
Put a stand or block under the diff when your hitting the hub out! It's moving when you hit it and absorbing your impact
It worked eventually
@@BustedKnuckleVideo it certainly did. Im just letting you know,for future
We wont build one of these again lol
Keep up the good work. Yalls bronco is coming along nicely. Got an 86 bronco im fixing to drain my bank account on. Going all out.
Heck Yeah!
My word need one of dem hats...
yourneck2 we got em in stock bustedknucklegear.com
lo mejor una bronco num.1
Estos tipos son geniales!!
I wanna do the same to my 91 bronco my dad gave me for graduating. Sweet pre runner
sounds like a good plan
i hate you guys cause I can't do none of that. FRIEKEN AWESOME!
Nothing to it!
Looking good - always wanted to do a long travel TTB setup but there is just no use for it in the midwest.
Kyle Q lol we are in Alabama!
gracias por subirlo nuevamente :)
gracias por ver
@@BustedKnuckleVideo ah chingao! hablan Español😲
Looks great, I have the same wheels on my 79 Bronco. It’s bad ass, but not pre runner bad ass.
Heck yeah, can't wait to see how they hold up in the desert
Good job!!!
Thanks1
Dude!!!!! That is awesome!!!!👍 Hey dude, hold my beer while I weld this in real quick!!!
David Toth good times In the shop
BustedKnuckleVideo there is nothin wrong with some time In the shop!! My dad and I do our own machanics ! We save sooo much!!!! I love working on vehicles!
I like modifying vehicles, maintenance not so much....
Wow using a chil like that and almost impaled him. Nice
Huh?
Please don't leave us in the dark halfway through the build like the Blazer!!
almost finished with EP 3
in the live comments you say you only got a 2000 dollar engine budget but yet you got 6-7000k of suspension love it ! I am with every one its a ford keep it ford yo !
We went over budget on suspension so the engine budget is tight
BustedKnuckleVideo that’s why we call them long term projects lol
Nothing long term about this one, its almost ready for a test drive
ALL YOUR PARTS LOOK SWEET ESPECIALLY THE METHOD RACE WHEELS KEEP UP THE GREAT VIDEOS OH AND A BELATED HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM ENGLAND
THANKS!
Nice job guys...now my " Betty" has a twin sister out here in So Cal.. I would Love too meet up with Yall .. God speed Guys!!
We will be at KOH next week!
Nice work, hope to end soon the project
new vid coming soon
Excellent video, congratulations.
On which page can I buy those brake discs for my bronco?
Powerstopbrakes.com
Omg💯 build my 86 bronco ‼️‼️‼️‼️
We can do that if you have the cash.
after your done swinging it, your thor LMFAO. that's hilarious
HA glad someone thought so
Fun stuff, good job.
bar soap smells better, and lasts longer as polyurethane bushing lube than wd-40.
Just saying.
interesting
Love it!
Can't wait to get it finished!
Damn I need a set of those jack stands
home built and work great, we used them on the excursion build as well
@@BustedKnuckleVideo I’ll need to build a set of those!
Nice video u guys make very good job 👍
Thanks!
About time to upload again
episode 3 will be out sometime in feb-march
About damn time
It takes time to gather parts for a build like this.....
BustedKnuckleVideo all worth the wait for a 28 minute video
I'm curious why you didn't link the rear? Do some research on jumping trucks with rear leafs. They tear out of the frame. Look at the stock Ford Raptor that ran the Baja 1000 for an example
Budget and streetability mostly. Everything has been beefed up to handle the leaf springs and travel.
Nice!!
Loving this build!
Nice job on the video. Not so much on the safety glasses lol... hopefully you'll be able to see your finished product
we wear them for the most part
Can you please finish this bronco! I check daily to see if has another video!
We are working on it right now. EP 3 should be out later this month.
Awesome build. Now you need to yank that anemic ford motor out of it and put an LS in it.
I would love to do that but its not in the budget so we are going to see how we can budget build the 351
😂 if I had a garage it would be a lot like this.
We have fun
Sweet!!!!!!!
Quickly become our favorite build thus far
Come get my 95!!! I wouldn’t mind at all!! Take the 6” rough country off and trash it 😎😎👍👍👍
We have our hands full with this one
Great video keep it up🤙
Thanks!
Never a disappointment
Thanks!
That looked like an 8-9 in the am beer .....I’m the dude even earlier at points in my life ..... great series though
nooner for sure
BRO! i thought you had said some months back you were gonna build a "budget" prerunner??? LOL this thing will stir up a hurtin for certain!!!
Budget was the plan and then we went a bit over budget lol
Unfortunately you can’t build a budget prerunner bronco. I’ve tried!
It would of been very complete video if you guys describe every part you are removing .
it would be a very long video if we did that
Love the build, but i'm just curious why you chose to go with the leaf rear instead of the 4 link. Sorry if this has already been answered.
trying to keep it budget friendly and have matched travel front and rear 17"
BustedKnuckleVideo well that’s a good point, I just thought it might have had something to do with the wheel base. Did you post any drive video of the bronco?
Should be out later this week of us adding cage and shock tuning
Watching every bit of this! Got the EXACT bronco and would really benefit off road use with these up dates... what are we lookin at for parts alone 22k?
Total parts list as it sits today is around $25k
I see that Auburn cooler. Where are y’all in Alabama? Prattville here. Good video.
We are all Auburn Alum, This was shot in Decatur
Wanted to know did you guys remove the rear spring shackles
we did, the kit comes with new shackles and hangers for the rear
@@BustedKnuckleVideo that's really cool, so all four hangers or just the two rear,
how do you guys determine where to mount the coilover cage to get your desired shock angle? also how do you know what angle you want to mount your shocks at?
it was part of a kit
Damn I miss my 90 Bronco regret getting rid of it
They are fun
Here is a K5 comment lol. "you guys should get the drivetrain in the white K5 and post a video".
K5 already got them tons still looking for the perfect deal on an LS
I’d be curious to see what your opinion is on bronco vs the jku....I get the jku can rock climb and all that but I’m currently looking for an off-road toy just for trail riding do not do any rock climbing or anything....I trail ride with my brother (raptor) other brother (JLUR) and other friends jku and I want to build a somewhat budget off-roader debating between this and older jku (with the 3.8) or tj because it will be just toy not a DD....just like the idea of the extra room of the jku but they are expensive even for older ones that’s why I think the bronco would be a cheaper alternative (I get suspension isn’t cheap but the buy is)
I just enjoy jeeps (I own a CJ7) because of the open air feel but you have the half cab with the bronco
I’d like to know your thoughts after she all put together would you rather have the bronco or a jku for trail riding not for rock climbing
Thank you and keep up the good work !
Bronco should be fun to keep up with a Raptor in but a JKU with the right suspension works great too. let your wallet be your guide
Where have I heard Yahtzee before? Must be another guy holding a beer ;-p
Parrish Hemmeke probably!
This is amazing! Would you be willing to share the ABS jumper trick you mentioned?
yes next episode
Do the 5/8 wheel studs fit in the stock holes or did you guys have to drill em out or special order those rotors to fit?
pretty sure we drilled them out
Love the videos. Just bought all the parts I need for my suspension upgrade on my 94’ bronco. I’m a car guy and only have short jack stands. Where did y’all get those stands?
we built the jackstands
Pretty easy to build, especially if your confident enough to do a suspension upgrade yourself 👍🏻
Hey Bro, the coil spring how many lbs are?
The bronco look so smooth on the other video
Hit up Desolate Motorsports, they have these kits dialed
This is a long shot with the age of this video but what offset are you running on those method wheels? Looking to also stuff some 37s underneath
It has 37s now. Good question
I noticed that in one of the other videos, curious what your wheels specs were
