After 3 years of beating the ever-living shit out of the Bronco, I can say that I am sooooo happy with the way it works. I does not have crazy flex, but it is very well balanced. I still really need to get a front bumper built up, but it has gotten to the point where I unload it off the trailer, wheel the piss out of it, put it back on the trailer and take it home, fix a couple minor things, then take it out again the next weekend. The body is trashed but I love it. 1 tons and leafs are the way to go!
