I've got a dana 44 front axle out of a bronco/f150 (100) whatever they had then. It has the cast wedges. I believe I have axle shafts, radius arms, misc brake parts, steering and a set of steering knuckles from an F250 that are already milled for high steer arms. Located in Wheaton,IL for...

Any of the midwesterners want to head out to Moab this year? You've got 4 1/2 months to save now. i'm in. I've got my vacation and unless the dodge completely blows up or the jeep, I'm there!

Which trans is better? A4LD or the M5OD? Which will hold up better behind the 4.0? I ask, because I'm thinkin about this as a swap into my jeep. Now, some would say why not just SAS an explorer with the axles I have sitting in my yard? Cause I really like my Wrangler! However, the 4cyl with...

So the bronco was beyond what work I wanted to put into 'er to get it street legal. After for sale posts and no bites, I was bored and surfing Jeeps Unlimited (yea, you know where this is going.) I found a guy fairly local lookin for a wheelin bronco. After some talking we came to an agreement...

So I've had a thought, but have no clue if it'll work. I'm looking for diagrams with the measurements for the Sports. I'm interested to see what would happen if i wanted to swap a Sport body on my early bronco chassis. That gives me the comforts of my old sport, but the SAS, V8 and good...

Chubfest through RRORC is being held Aug 15-17th. Assuming I can get hydro assist and 2 new tires on before then, I'll be there the 15th. I plan on being there all weekend unless something breaks, and then I'll take off early. I may also have a friend in a TJ to wheel. I'm figuring green, orange...

Well, it's sad to say, but I think the bronco will go up for sale this fall, but I must wheel Moab before it's gone. I have vacation Sept 3-10. I may lengthen this too. I'm thinking maybe wheel Moab at the end of the week possibly fri/sat and then head to ABQ, NM for some more wheeling and...

So I got caught in a dilema. Do i suck it up and pay the 3.70/gal for diesel and drive my 1 ton dually around town or find something friendlier. Our local Ford dealer had an '00 Ranger 3.0 v-6 flex fuel motor 4x4 supercab and I walked out with it for all include at what their retail was. I...

I wanted to get my trailer finally, and thought, I might as well buy it once and be done with it. Interstate 10k 18ft deck w/ 2.5ft tail. 6in ch frame 5200k axles w/dexter easy lube hubs 6 bolt 15in wheels w/ D tires. I like it, and pulls pretty well. Gotta get the trailer brake controler set...

Well this is the ultimate towing thread for this site. I want information to be first hand accounts, not "a buddy of mine" so on and so forth, cause everyone has stories of "that person" who has the bigger better rig, trailer, etc. I will kick it off with my truck and towing setup so far...

Here's what's left after I tubed the back and repainted it. The gate needs expanded steel and some LED tail lights. The paint was changed because I got sick of the boring primer gray. I think the new paint is more uniform. I still need to add straps to hold the gate fairly level like a...

Well this is for my '73 Bronco, but the same principles apply to explorer doors for the most part. Here's the full door: Here's the partially filled door: It's quite simple. Get large sawzall blades and cut whatever you want removed. I started with a sawzall and the door became so...

Lets talk trailers. I'm starting to search for a trailer and will probly be looking to buy come the beginning of '07. Locally I've found this company http://www.randpcarriages.com/ and they offer a few trailers for around 2k. Now, here's what I feel my standards are. I want something short. It...

At the 10th Aniv. Run in Attica, I tore off my passenger rear fender. I'm going to keep 3.5in of lift and will be adding 36s in the next year. I plan on tubing the rear end of the truck, but want to keep the interior as is, but remove a portion of the rear fenders. I'm thinking of hacking it at...

As I always have a changing fleet of vehicles, i figured one registry should suffice. Former Jeep Wheeler: Former Tow Rig/DD: 2006 Ram 2500 CTD Old Tow Rigs: 2002 Ford F350 Lariat V-10 on 35's 2002 Ford F250 PSD on 35's 1995 Dodge 3500 Dually CTD Former Vehicles: 2000 Ford Ranger...

So, we've got 6-8in of snow, and the bronco is stored in the back yard. I go to drive it to the garage, and i lock the hubs, shift into 4hi and got stuck. My valiant steed came to a hault quickly. Then, i get it into 4lo and the rear was spinning in the snow at idle, i look under the truck and...

This for the bronc... See pic below to understand. I've got a homemade bumper that will get axed this winter. The stock tails are weak. The aux tails are bright. However I'm gonna make a rock crawler type rear bumper which will be smooth (smash it nothing gets damaged) so i dont want to sink...

Here's a link to Interco blem specials. Some of these tires can go for half price. Unless others become available, I might spring for some of the 33in LTBs. Hope this helps some. http://www.intercotire.com/site.php?pageID=55&newsID=6

So I begin a new journey... This time, with a vehicle 9 years older than I. I have a 1973 bronco, produced in 1972. It contains a 302 v-8, c-4 automatic, dana 20 transfercase and it has a dana 44HP drum brake front end and a 9in rear end. In addition to this, it comes with an unknown 3.5in...

Does anyone have the part number to the GM tow hooks? I searched chevy tow hooks to no avail, but I am looking for the part number. There is www.gmpartsdirect.com which is similar to FPN and i wanted to see if there was much of a discount at all there... Thanks...

Okay, I know within their respective versions they're similar. My question is this. What were the clutch systems like in these vehicles? I know the gen 1 sploder was hydraulic. Were the say 85-90 or wherever the cutoff is at, a simple manual cable operated clutch? Thanks guys.
