sweet that is a nice one. I'd of went and got it too if I was closer

Turbines fit the 78/79's really well, nice looking bronco Rick. Really like the shined up parts on the turbines, if Mine get painted that is what I am also going to do to them.

I like those front coils looks to be very little bow either to the side or to the front, lot less then the JBG superflex's.

you making your own set of arms or sending the C's off to west coast?

Looks good, regardless wish mine was that clean

The WCB tubular arms are what my 78 will get soon also. I will be interested to see what you say about them. Please take a bunch of pics of those and how they work once you get it out again.

Are you planning on running the 5100 Bilsteins upfront with those extended arms? If you are you may want to look into some limiting straps as I think it will flex good enough it will need them.

 

[CrazyBRONCOguy]

Sweet, they are as pretty as they look online. They are not a thick as I thought they would be either, being the double tube design. Nice arms for sure. I am hopeful to hear that they do as good as I think they should. Looks like they are made really well regardless

I thought that kit came with brackets to go in place of the radius arms to support the trans cross member? Or like you said just quicker to leave what was there???? Not oppose to either just asking so I know what to expect. Also love the twin stick that is also on my list, will be perfect for some 2 wheel action in the sand dunes.... Looks like its coming along great, are you happy with the arms on the street? are they much different then stock? I would think that the whole front end is much more solid now

 

[CrazyBRONCOguy]

That's good to know on the brackets, I was thinking it came with some, you can see the painted ones in this picture from their website. But the description does not specifically call them out.

maybe those are the 2wd pieces you mentioned.

Everything I have read I believe you made the right choice on the shock valving. Are you going to mount the reservoirs to the shocks or on a separate mount? I will be curious to see what they look like installed and how you fell they work. They look pretty regardless.... Seats look good too, like you said match a lot better

 

[CrazyBRONCOguy]

Just for my reference you are running the hydroboost with:
Stock front calipers and rotors?
Stock rear drums and wheel cylinders?
Stock proportioning valve?
Stock or stock style steering box?

Does running the brakes and steering effect the steering at all? I could see this potential at slow speed idle and turning, maybe not though.

Looks like a great setup and I think I will get mine from wildhorse too as I have had nothing but great service from them, wish they made more FSB stuff. :thumbup

 

[CrazyBRONCOguy]

Thanks. I am planning on adding a separate return to the sag pump in mine.

Be interested to hear what you have to say about the tbi setup once you have ran it a bit. The spool is a good choice, I drive mine on the street a lot and yes you will notice it but its not all that bad. Everything I have read online about them being bad on the street, I just do not experience with it in my 78. The only thing it does is make its presence known when making sharp turns and it has to spin one tire. I will never go back to anything else, especially for the money. I think it makes the 9" stronger too.

Did you use a dog food dish to make that adapter? Good idea if yes as most of them are stainless so should never have to make another.

 

[CrazyBRONCOguy]

I would take the coils out and cycle the front. To me this is really the only way to get it right.
Pay extra attention to the front driveshaft and full droop, you may find it is binding, before anything else starts to have issues. The steering joints also start to get to their extremes. This is how I set the bumps and straps on the 78

For back window, what I did on my soft top was take a strip of aluminum and put Velcro on it, then I bolted that to the top material, and put the other half of the Velcro on the tailgate. I could never get the Velcro to stick to the soft top material.
On yours you maybe able to do the same but make it snap on, using those existing snaps... Another option would be to sew the Velcro onto the top material or have it sewn. I like the extra weight of the aluminum on the back part though, as it stays down even without the Velcro.

Also looks nice, nice find on one of those tops. Looks nicer then my JBG one I made fit for sure. :thumbup

 

[CrazyBRONCOguy]

Really like the wheels like that, they are a good combo of old vs new looking at same time, especially against the white. Truck Looks awesome.

 

[CrazyBRONCOguy]

Maybe going off topic... Father has a set of BBK headers that also had the ceramic coating done. They are on a truck that has never seen mud, and the same thing happened. I agree with most in here that its not woth the extra. Get Stainless or deal with rust eventually, it seems. The best looking ones over time I have personally messed with are the Old I think Nickle? plated LNL headers that they no longer sell. The set I bought used for my 78, still look great, no rust what so ever, and they do see mud, salt, snow,

The Sanderson's are nice, every pair I have seen is very well made, I think you will be happy with them in the long term. I also like the shorty or mid-length setup on the bronco the best for routing, performance, and I like the sound of a single vs duals, personally, especially if its a larger diameter...
