I guess Geocities tries to block showing pictures by themselves.

But, this webpage will display them:

Some pictures from last weeks trip to MOAB

ON this trip I only had three wheel drive

Thats right I did Gemeni Bridges and Top of the World in 2wd, a few spots 3wd.
You see I am waiting for a custom made passenger side axleshaft, until I get this part I do not have 4 wheel drive, because the new front end has been widened over stock.

I was unable to get the slip yoke to come apart before the trip even in 4x4, however it came apart immediatey in Moab. So I ran the rest of the trip without it.

3wheel drive = low range 4x4, drivers hub locked, ARB locked.

This trip was a test run for the new 6" setup, works VERY well.

I also ran this trip with the front sway bar connected in order to limit travel

Let me know what you guys think

Geocities sucks, so be patient....

I should give props to Brett, without his help my rig would be nothing compared to the monster(s) we have created together...

Hey I thought I read on some post that you wanted to add some extended rear flares to your Bronco, is this correct?

If so I can get a rear set for 88-92 for $10

 

[410Fortune]

Alaskan, thanks man but for my birthday my parents got me the Duff rear urethane flares, however I dont think I am going to use them....I dont think they would keep the "clean" body lines on my BII, the 33's clear fine with the 4" rear skyjacker leafs........

What I would really like to do is actually cut and pull out the metal rear 1/4 panels, similar to what Ranger guys have been doing for years, just on a BII it is much much harder due to the floor pan for the rear seat/cargo area

If I chop the top (still considering) then it will be much easier to do...

The Duff flares fit real well from what I have seen on other BII's, but in my case they are just tooo wide and big.......

Thanks for thinking of me, I will pass your info on to all my BII/Ranger friends. I did see your post about the swap shop you found...now if I could get some PIAA's for $10 that would be another story
