Wrong brand, here it is...........................
78 Bronco XLT
High comp 429/C6/205
35" Maxxis Bighorns
4.56 gears
Limited slip, front and rear
4" lift
I drive it on 300 mile round trips.
That is one of the best looking Broncos I have ever seen!
here's my '89. 2.5" softride springs, 35" bfgs, 4.56s. it was my dd until the rust got too bad and i bought my new cummins 3 years ago. it was mostly set up for surf fishing and light trail riding. now it's sitting in the driveway, gutted, waiting for me to finish restoring all the rust and repaint.

I really like that paint scheme, one of the best! All around good looking rig, post up when its done!
I guess mine sorta fits the bill. It's a 90 with 3" TC Softride fronts and flipped rear with 56's. I run a 1" body lift also. Right now it's on 37's and Walker Evans beadlocks. Has the usual D60 with a Powerlock, 35 spline all the way, Rockcrusher flanges, 4.10's, and crossover with hydro assist. The back is a 14 bolt with Detroit. Has a crate tbi 350, th400, clocked flat 241 with SYE and a 1350 High angle shaft. Front is a home brew square tube with a 1480 D60 joint at the case and 1410 on the axle. Full cage with PRP seats and a ton of other things. It was driven on the street and was a daily driver as needed up untill the end of June of this year. Now it is trail only. This pic was from before the 56's in the rear.

Your blazer is one of my top favorites on this site all time!!!! It is super clean and super functional!

Feel kind of bad posting this because its been out of commission so long. But what you're looking for is exactly what I built this for. Seeing that I've hunted/fished with 2 wheel drive open diff pickups for the last 20 years without issues, its a little overbuilt for my needs. But it should be perfect for weekend trips with just enough offroad capability to get me in trouble. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel on the build and realistically will have it running in the next month or so.
tube bumpers / 4" spring lift, 4.10 3/4 tons with a detroit in the 14bff / 400sb/th350/np205 / 37" hummer radials.

couple of pics when before I tore the drivetrain and suspension out and in stock form on 32's. I was regularly running 300 mile round trips in it.

That thing is looking bad arse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didnt even know you were transforming it like that. Have never been a huge fan of the chalets in stock form but yours is looking mighty fine! The DPM bumper is great too! I would really consider finding a chalet or at least the camper portion! Me and my girl have recently gotten very interested in getting some sort of camper and something that would fit in the bed of a vehicle I already have is even better. Can you link me to a build thread?
Mine should be pretty good and reliable, just need a few more beefy items like 35 spline stubs, rear disc brakes and a some ARB lockers
I'll get around to doing the interior nicely and then add some amenities like an ARB fridge and stuff like that.
Then maybe some 42" mtr's

that is a mean looking burban! You have come a long way with that thing, congrats man. The work is definitely paying off

The tires wear pretty damn good too.
It's geared very well for climbing junk (4.56 with a granny gear and a doubler) and has overdrive for low rpm cruising on the freeway at 75mph.
