After spending another New Years in the desert with us. My mom decided it was time for her to have a pre runner to join in on the fun.

After looking over a few and narrowing it down I called Jonny at Richer Racing to get his input on the trucks we were looking at. Somehow the conversation took a turn and I struck a deal on this Bronco he was building for himself.

current status.

Those beams are insane!! I’ve never seen a set that beefy. Should be not only a fun build but a bad ass ride when completed.

Went today today and laid eyes on the truck. All I can say is I’m much more excited for it now. We laid out a plan and made some changes to work with what we want.

dropped off the first of many wads of cash.

And @chvynhra you will be glad to hear, we were able to change it back to OG glass.

Deavers are badass. There is a reason they have a set of leaves nicknamed "Link killers." ;)
