With a lot of arm twisting from my wife I have agreed to replace my 1996 Bronco with a 1996 LC. Our goal is to explore back country roads greater than 30 miles from our house. Here they are side by side, red pill vs blue pill.
The LC has factory front and rear lockers, 3" OME lift (j-springs and L shocks) with Man-A-Fre caster kit, custom roof rack built by previous owner, 182K miles, 285/75 R16 tires, and wet okole seat covers. We've had the new rig about a month now and my wife has only seen pictures of it as she is out of the country on vacation. I've been busy doing upgrades which I will document here. I am doing many of them at the same time so the order of posting may not be the order of completion. The goal of this build is overlanding for myself, wife and our two dogs. I am trying to maintain the stock look whenever possible while increasing function. I've been lurking on the forums since the day before I bought the rig and love this community. I've learned a lot from all the postings and hope to contribute back to it. While this is far from my first build it is my first non Ford build.
