Here's my 79 build(at my buddy's house til we get it painted, then the wife might not make me sleep in it...).

Fresh 460, RV cammed, custom 2" SS headers, runs awesome!
New 3" dual exhuast with mufflers, quiet
Demon 725 CFM 4 barrel, Edelbrock intake
body completely rust free, new fenders in front, inside stripped, will be POR15ed and herculined before I get it.
good 4 speed tranny(NP435) and NP205
4" lift and 3" body lift, steering is true, all new bushings, custom drag link.
4 brand new 38x15.5" Groundhawgs on Beadlocks, 4 spares at 50%
has a sweet 3 piece F150 bench seat with center console that folds down, back seat is good condition
Factory roll bar
custom dash with all Autometer gauges, everything works
Front Dana 60 fresh build, 4.10s(not in bronco yet)
Monster 14 bolt(not in bronco yet) with truss, welded, 4.10s also, set up for 4 link!!!
another monster 460 also included, makes 550HP and like 700 TQ, 11.93 to 1 CR, needs water injection to run with 93 octane
tailgate works and is rust free(replaced), fresh Ford Blue paint

I don't have pics yet but I'll get some soon for you all.

I may drive it to work and around town but not far.

I do not rock climb, I do not care about that, I run mud and woods trails a lot.

I am not going to use the dragster 460, I' will keep the regular one it, it will have sick power anyway, I will sell the other insane engine.

There's no rust on the Bronco, I've never seen one done over like this one, they've all been rusted out like most CJs I've seen.

I've wheeled a 77 F250 with Dana 60s under it and 44s for a couple of years and they're not THAT much wider than my jeep, plus you can take them over almost anything and almost never worry about breaking anything.

Will the 44 and 9" hold up to the 38's in mud and woods? No rocks really, maybe a rear locker and that's it. I'm not sure I want to throw the 1 tons under there and have to drop big loot for wheels and tires.

generaly from alot of people on here i have heard not to run much more than a 36 on dana 44/9inch

but there are a ton of people that do

its realy up to you and how much stuff u may or not break

if u only have to get wheels tires id say put the 1 tons under and save the money you would be spending fixing broken stuff and get the wheels/tires
