looks really good. did you use the stock steering that came with the bronco or did you go after market?

JoshC · December 1, 2006

Do you have any pictures of your extended radius arms?

SkanlaxJMO · December 1, 2006

wow looking good..

brandon916 · December 1, 2006

well its a stock explorer draglink with the bronco tie rod. the tires are 35x15.50x15 sx's didnt wanna cut the fenders yet. its a 5 speed with 3.73 gears for now.and yes the rear is spring over with a 4.5 in shackle

Looks good!

3.73's on 35's wow! How does that drive?

brandon916 · December 1, 2006

actually not as bad as i thought! it struggles a bit to take off from a dead stop but after that it just cruises along the motor runs pretty dang strong! getting fornt and rear detroits and 5.13s next week. doing the 5.13s for some 37 or maybe 38's in a month or two

MountaineerGreen · December 1, 2006

I guess the 5 speed helps quite a bit- looks nice and flexy!

brandon916 · December 1, 2006

ya tons of flex! i recommend the cage coils!!! they work awsome. and i think the extende radius arms with the heims help too

CodePoet · December 1, 2006

I'm with josh, it would be interesting to see where you mounted the radius arms. pretty close to the crossmember i bet

wanderer351 · December 3, 2006

wow...identical build to mine...except Im using the big lockout 44 and a sterling...

I also have 3.73's in the stock axles with 35's..the auto helps..(converter reduction)..but it still sux on takeoff..

x2 on the 5.13...I got a quote for 255 on a set for the 44 AND the sterling from DC on pirate4x4..his site is http://www.dc4wd.com/ but get ahold of him on pirate for quotes...

btw..looks great!! :thumbsup:

dkkne · December 4, 2006

That thing is pretty mean looking.... badass explorer man.....

jdvracing · December 7, 2006

I really want my done now!

ohe_boy · December 14, 2006

Looks really good! I got the Wild Horse coils on mine, hope it has the same amount of flex as the CAGE. I have a similar setup as yours...

I'm running the CAGE tube radius arms and heim joints at the frame...I'm also interested in where and how you mounted the arm brackets.

Also, you have any close up pics of the front end?

brandon916 · December 15, 2006

thanks guys i got some new pics!

uh broken radius arm?

FROADER · December 15, 2006

oops... Looks like you had a little fun in the process of breaking it though.
