The passenger-side radius arm has a Johnny Joint wrist in it to improve articulation.
A late Ford-truck 302 MPI V8 found its way into the engine compartment and feeds its horsepower and torque through the original C4 automatic that was warmed over and beefed up by Pat. A 4.3:1 two-speed Atlas transfer case from Advance Adapters is very strong and allows Pat to run in front-wheel drive when needed for pivoting and turning.
Two winches, a Warn XD9000i up front and a small winch mounted in the Tuffy box in back, keep the Bronco moving. The XD9000i works in the usual way by getting Pat unstuck and up and over obstacles, and the small winch keeps the rearend from overextending in steep situations.
We asked Pat what his favorite modifications were and he said, "I love everything about my Bronco."When asked if he had to build it again, how he would do it, he replied, "I'd do almost everything the same, except I wouldn't build it so extreme because I can't take it on the highway."
Pat's Pull-Pal Bronco isn't fancy or flashy. It's built to work, and work it does. Wherever you see Pat on the trail, he's driving over obstacles or helping others. Pat and his Bronco are definitely everyone's backcountry pals.
Jeep TJ Wrangler coil springs work very well on Pat's Bronco. He used generic hydraulic shocks and painted them black. They work fine at the speeds this Bronco is usually moving in the rocks. |  | 
The Dana 60 rearend also has 4.88 gears, an ARB Air Locker, and Superior axles. The fabricated bridge is not only a mount for the upper control arms, it's the attachment point for the Warn winch that can pull up the axle and keep it from overextending. TJ coils are also used here, along with the generic hydraulic shocks. |
The Bronco's rear leaf packs have made way for the coil-spring four-link suspension. Nth Degree joints and custom long arms work very well here. | 
Advance Adapters supplied the Atlas two-speed transfer case with 4.3:1 Low range. | 
Pat built his own front and rear heavy-duty driveshafts. |
