Early Bronco needed
Looking for someone with an EB that is in the market for new Radius arms. Its not a requirement that you live in Grand Junction, but I will need your EB for at least a week and will need to have the ability to test out the radius arms or new suspension with the owner.
I am developing a new arm that will be run in the King of Hammers stock class want to test fit a prototype. The owner will get the arms at a significant discount over what they will retail for, and they will get installed at the shop. If you are interested, please give us a call at 970 462 7180. If you are looking for a complete suspension setup, we will be offering that as well, with a whole bunch of cool upgrades and options that are NOT available for the Early Broncos currently. The complete system will need to be tested out as well, and my EB is not a good candidate.
Would prefer a clean Bronco that photographs well, but it is not a requirement.
EDITING THIS:
I would REALLY like someone to test our complete suspension system. Radius arms are what i want to get out there, but we are working on new leafs/brackets/etc that will change everything, and I would really like to get someone who wants the whole kit!!!

Re: Early Bronco needed
Sounds like a perfect opportunity for a Member to get a sweet deal on some killer Battlement Fab products for a discount - win/win. I am excited to see your design for the extended arms and other suspension parts - you guys must stay-up nights thinking of how to raise the bar. Cannot wait to see what you got planned.

Re: Early Bronco needed
Yeah, the only problem Clint, is that I'm in Colorado Springs. I'd love to have you do some work on my rig, but getting it to you and having to be without it for a while would be tough. If you could wait till June or July, I'd let ya take it. I am going on a trip both months and will be gone about a week both times.

Re: Early Bronco needed
Clint, if I wasn't on the wrong side of the mountains (Denverish) I'd be all over this and you could keep my Bronco as long as you needed it. Good luck with your hunt!

Re: Early Bronco needed
I wish I knew about Battlement a year and a half ago. I'd love a set of their arms. I'm close enough to make it happen, but I already installed long arms & wide axles a year and a half ago.
Clint, if no one else gets in, I'll do it, but I'm running full width axles from a 79 Bronco. So the radius arm wedges are wider than stock. May not be what you are looking for. I could drop off my truck anytime, just give me about 2.5 hours, and I'll be there.
Anyone want to buy a 2 year old set of Bloody Knuckle (updated Cage) extended radius arms?
Chad

Re: Early Bronco needed
Let me know if I can "help", I'm not 4 linked/coil over, and need to update my old suspension lift & shocks. I've got new WH 3.5" rear springs waiting, just need to get a new set of front coils to match. I'd work with you to get a new set of coils & shocks installed too. I'm flexible, but my current suspension is not.

Re: Early Bronco needed
I'm interested in whatever, like I said I'm flexible. My only requirement is that my truck stay highway worthy, it is still a daily driver, and I use it to drive my dogs around and hunt. PM me or call, my phone number is in the member's list, if you want.

Re: Early Bronco needed
Might be worthwhile for me to consider this. Been thinking of extended arms for a while now. I have a decent suspension right now but if the setup is right then I would go with a new setup. I'll have to try and giver you a call Friday.

Re: Early Bronco needed
You've got my interest piqued now Clint. What are you looking for as for the test rig? Right now what I am currently running is Cage 5.5 coils & a settled set of WH leafs. Both axles are ARB locked, the rear has the shocks forward mounted & RS9000s on all 4.

Re: Early Bronco needed
The only thing stopping me from volunteering Drew's bronco is the fact that he would like it to be somewhat photogenic.... oh well....
Now Clint, if you are looking for durability testing - have I got the rig for you!!!

Re: Early Bronco needed
I talked to Clint today for a while. He has some super cool ideas and I'm interested in seeing the finished goods. I think I'm sold on a few of his products. We even discussed options and ideas for fitting my "oddball" front end with his radius arms. I don't know if it is worth his time to do it, but it was nice he took time to bounce some ideas around.

Re: Early Bronco needed
Clint, I am definitely interested in speaking with you about the new arms. I have a '77 that I would like to 4 link the rear and extended radius arms on the front. I left a couple of messages this morning; my name is Troy. Let me know if you are still on the hunt for the right prototype rig. Thanks,
