and rims


I want to make this a truck that i can wheel all day and drive home. I won't go any bigger than 35's because the axles really can't handle it.

[Seth]

Nice, is that bumper prefab or custom?

[TdmayfieldIV]

a guy from fullsizebronco.com built it for me. I designed it and he built it.

[stx4wheeler]

The neon seats kick ass that's what I have in my trail rig.

[TdmayfieldIV]

Yeah, i found them in a junkyard already pulled from the car. I got them for $20 each

[Hot Pocket]

Nice truck. Did the fenders rust away or were they cut?

[TdmayfieldIV]

they rusted away and then i cut them

[TdmayfieldIV]

1. Fix all the broken crap
-front driver u-joint
-front axle seals (i'll need help with this, i have no idea what to do here)
-new brake drums
-re bed-line interior
-heater
-new hubs, warn premiums
2. bodywork including:
-installing quarters
-cheap paint, all white
3. Full cage
4. 3g alt and optima 6 pack battey
5. winch
6. rear bumper with spare tire and hi-lift carrier
7. Detroit or arb rear locker
8. limited slip front
9. rock sliders

[BroncoJo]

I have heard nothing but bad about the ARB's for the 9in.

[TdmayfieldIV]

Are there any good selectables for the 9inch?

[robertf03]

what do you hear about 9" arbs?

[BroncoJo]

There are many threads on FSB about them breaking. Hasn't Ryan had quite a few problems too?


I would suggest a full Detroit if still DD it, or a Spool if it becomes a toy.

[85cj7]

i had a lot of trouble with my d-30 and amc-20 arb. Don't have one now. Spool in the 9" and welded d-44.

[Eckert]

how did you break your driver u-joint with a busted hub?

[TdmayfieldIV]

good question.

my hubs aren't broken?

[Eckert]

good question.

my hubs aren't broken?

the driver side sure as hell was. remember being in only 2wd on bats ferry?

[TdmayfieldIV]

maybe it just popped out. Thats why i am getting warn premiums, they won't pop out.

I am still trying to find the pictures of it stuck.

[davido]

Cool rig. I see your future... it's filled with... dented body panels... and a few broken windows. :)

[colman]

bite the bullet, loose the top, dovetail front and rear, break out the sawzall and make it look like brians.... then cut it up and part it out. thats what happens to broncos in this club alot of the time. right clarke and frick

[Sharpe]

maybe it just popped out. Thats why i am getting warn premiums, they won't pop out.

Haha... Every hub I've dicked with besides spicer originals have the ability to come apart internally and not work. Its happened to me a couple of times on the trail. Not really a big deal but a PITA. I havent ever bought a new set of hubs though, I'm on my third or fourth set of hand-me-down 30 spliners so take that for what its worth.

[TdmayfieldIV]

I am beginning to think that these new quarters aren't a good idea. I have not skills to put them on myself and the pros want over $1000 to do it.

What do you guys think about some bushwacker cutouts? I need to cover up the rust somehow

[DRAGOONRANCH]

Break out the hacksaw/sawzall!!!

[stx4wheeler]

If you decide to sell the quarters pm me a price. I would defiantely be interested in them for my restoration/ cruiser truck. Also check out the thread big nasty on here to see what you truck would look like with a narrowed front end.

Your welcome to my shaft

*waits for corny joke

[TdmayfieldIV]

Is it the right one for my truck

oh and wow i will not dignify that response with a "corny joke"

[BroncoJo]

Im pretty sure it is but you would need to check. I think the total length was right at 45 inches IIRC

[TdmayfieldIV]

well make sure

i got my headlight working, turns out the plug just came undone

This weekend i'll be greasing everything i can and i found a complete d44 by houston for $225 i might go pick that up. it has everything in it so i'll have spares for everything in the front end

Steven and Garrett will be working with me at my house over the weekend so hopefully we can get alot done on all of our trucks

[TdmayfieldIV]

I got the new deck, rear interior panels, 6x9s and subs put back in today. i got some shafts from fullsizebronco, both sides for $50. They will be here on sunday, the guy's wife is driving them from lufkin for me.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

Be very careful. She's going to give you the shaft!

[TdmayfieldIV]

got my shafts today. I am just going to replace the joint and put it in on tuesday. I have all the tools i need except for the spindle socket. I need to borrow that from someone:gigem:

[RCcola55]

its like $15 from horiellys, you are gonna need it often it seems like so go ahead and get one

[Eckert]

i also agree on buying one. you can borrow mine if you need it.

[TdmayfieldIV]

so the shaft that i got sent is overall about 7/8"s too long. The splines are about 2" long. I was thinking about cutting about 1/2" off the inner and 3/8" off the stub so that it would sit correctly in the knuckle. What do you guys think? Should i do that or take 7/8ths off the inner?

did you order a new shaft and it is still to long? Where did you order it from and what part number?

[stx4wheeler]

7/8's off the inner, if you chop off the stub your hubs won't go back together or find the right shaft.

[TdmayfieldIV]

I got them from a guy on fullsize bronco. If i take 7/8ths off will it still fit into the carrier?

[colman]

assuming it doesn't kneck up after the splines. never cut a stub. it has a machined lip at the end a c-clip goes. as long as it is a ford stub i believe it is the same. is it the same size as your old stub

[BroncoJo]

I'm still confused as to why your shaft is consistently an inch shorter. I would suggest a visual inspection before cutting.

[TdmayfieldIV]

visual inspection of my shaft or my carrier?

[BroncoJo]

visual inspection of my shaft or my carrier?

ie:

take off diff cover
clean everything
inspect carrier
insert shafts in question
figure out exactly how/what needs modification
make modifications
put **** back together until next blown shaft

[TdmayfieldIV]

I had the carrier out at the dexter house 3 weeks ago but i didn't really look inside the carrier.

[TdmayfieldIV]

when i measured my broken long side it measured about 34"from the tip to the center of the u-joint cap. That's what this site says it should be

http://77cj.littlekeylime.com/images/Dana44axleshafts_Ford.gif

Notice how the earlier model trucks shafts were about an inch longer. Thats what i think this new shaft is

[agjohn02]

visual inspection of my shaft or my carrier?

:rainbow:

[Shaggy]

why not find the correct shaft... sounds like a better plan to me

[DRAGOONRANCH]

What ever you do, make sure that the center of the u-joint is going through the center of the kingpins/balljoints. If it is out of line, it is going to bind up when you turn and cause problems.

[TdmayfieldIV]

the stub shaft is the correct length, so if i cut the inner to the correct length then the u-joint should be in the center.

[RCcola55]

dude really if this is being trhat much of a pain in the ass to get the right shaft, suck it up and get a custom one made. I think i can speak for everyone else here in saying something is off about what was in there if everything that you are ordering is wrong.

[Eckert]

where are you getting the earlier ones are a different length? 76-79 are identical minus the radius arm castings.

measure your **** and compare it to this and see who is wrong:

[TdmayfieldIV]

I didn't order them from a site. I got them from a guy who said that he thinks that they were from a 79 bronco. i can order the parts online but i don't want to spend the money.

[RCcola55]

This is an EXPENSIVE hobby, get used to spending a little extra money, esspecially on something like an axle shaft! Being a joo about it isnt the way to go unless you know what you are doing.

[85cj7]

why not finding out if the shafts you got from the guy who 'thinks' the shafts are from a 79 is or is not actually from a 79? What is the length of the shaft supposed to be? What is the length of the shaft you got from the guy? What is the length of the shaft that you broke that was in the bronco?

[RCcola55]

He just needs to suck it up and order the correct shaft all ready!

[85cj7]

look, i'll even help.
long side inner of a 79 is supposed to be 33.91"
short side inner of a 79 is supposed to be 14.78"
stub shaft of a 79 is supposed to be 9.72"

Now, what is the length of the two (new one from fsb and old broken one) that you have at hand?

[TdmayfieldIV]

the shaft i pulled out of the bronco is about 34". Dr. N says that it should be 33 29/32". So that is right for my bronco. The shaft that i got is about 7/8" too long so it is about 34 7/8" which would match up to a

78-79 f-250 or 150 supercab truck
69-77 f-250

I don't think that my axle is messed up i just think he pulled the shaft out of one of these trucks.

[TdmayfieldIV]

FINE! i'll just order the right forking shaft off jbg.

Is there a better/cheaper place to buy them?

[85cj7]

To answer your original question, yes you can chop off PART of the splined portion. Is this the right way to do it, NO. You are reducing the spline engagement which potentially could fubar the carrier and twist the splines. Also, if you did chop the shaft you can not do things like say the shaft is "about 34"" you have to be precise and subtract the exact amount to the hundredths place on the end of the shaft.


buy them
here: http://broncograveyard.com/bronco/c-404
or here: http://completeoffroad.com/c-62668-axles-and-bearings-dana-44-d44-long-inners.html

it looks like chromo and stock are pretty similarly priced.

PS: for the application of your mystery d-44 shaft I found 34.75" : 75-79 f-250

[stx4wheeler]

Make Clayton an offer on some of his shafts and axles worst he can say is no.

[TdmayfieldIV]

i tried.......he wants to sell both sides together for like $250

[stx4wheeler]

Ah ok

Check with Houston Drivetrain Service.....

I've done a ton of business with them building custom driveshafts and ordering "hard to find" axle shafts, great service and products. I used to have a dodge d44 and had trouble sourcing shafts so I went to them, I think I paid $120ish for a complete inner and outer side. That was back in 05 or 06 though....

[Seth]

If you bought both sides it might not be a bad deal, you would have extras then...i agree you need to find the right part.

[Seth]

Mods, could/should all this axle talk be moved to his build thread?

[stx4wheeler]

The 70 4wd fords are getting harder to find in the yards. There are always lots of 2wds but very few 4x4.

[TdmayfieldIV]

That sucks. The yard we had in colorado would always have a 79 bronco in it. There were three there in the one year i had my bronco.

I am looking at building a bumper like this.

What kind of cost am i looking at for the materials?

http://fullsizebronco.com/forum/showthread.php?t=157457

[85cj7]

$50-$70 in steel. Plus the cost of recovery points at $15 each, plus the cost of the hinge and latch around $70 or so.

I like this site. . .

[Shaggy]

I have a spindle setup that i never used if you do a swing out tire carrier

[Eckert]

coolest design ive seen is where you use an actual spindle and hub from a truck. works the same and it doubles for a spare lockout.

[bcolman]

i would make it swing out from the opposite side so it is easier to see out the back window from the drives seat

[robertf03]

use an over center draw latch, the spring loaded stuff will rattle and sound like ass.

[TdmayfieldIV]

i was just thinking of welding a nut in the bumper and use a t-shaped handle bolt and tighten that down

[TdmayfieldIV]

I think i'll just start with the tube, reciever and d rings. Then when the money comes i'll do the tire carrier :gigem:

[Eckert]

so are your parents gonna make you sign a no modification clause on the jeep

its mandatory when you own a jeep, to immediately change the axles. otherwise, you're a feg.

[colman]

but this is coming from tyler there for you immediatly ignore it and go on as if it never happened

[TdmayfieldIV]

You really need to take that bronc wheelin with us on our next Co. trip! It has no where near enough body damage! :D

You haven't seen it up close

rust has done most of the body damage. I dented my fender at soggy bottom:flipoff2:

A couple days ago i tightened my oil pan bolts because it was leaking. (I wouldn't normally do this unless they are really loose because i don't want to split the cork gasket) the bolts were really loose though. And AMAZINGLY, for the first time since i have owned it, it DOES NOT LEAK OIL ANYMORE. great success:gigem:

[colman]

actually i prefer things a little formal so call me richard

[TdmayfieldIV]

so i think the bronco is changing directions. I have been thinking, my dad is leaving his jeep for me to dd for 3 years while they are in deutschland so the bronco won't have to be that good on the street.

I like the swamp donkey and i think i will follow a similar path:

d60 front
sterling rear
(both locked with lower gears)
40's
tbi
roll cage
203/205 doubler
rear bumper
sliders
winch

[KrazyKarl02]

I know your body is not perfect, but kiss it goodbye with that list.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

that's a good start on a capable wheeler.

[TdmayfieldIV]

yeah after the past two trips damage
-bent front fender
-bent wheel well
-ripped off rearview mirror
-dent in the roofline
-further bent rear quarter

I decided that it will never look good anyway. So body damage is not an issue anymore. I can only hope to match the amount of carnage of the stepside

[colman]

Or the blazer

[TdmayfieldIV]

yeah that too

[Hot Pocket]

I decided that it will never look good anyway. So body damage is not an issue anymore. I can only hope to match the amount of carnage of the stepside

[TdmayfieldIV]

Good news, I just talked to the ATK warranty department and they are sending me a $230 check for the rear main seal replacement that may or may not have been completely done by a professional shop:haha:

[bcolman]

will that buy you a rear locker?

[TdmayfieldIV]

Buy a rear locker i could. The cost of these what is?

[stx4wheeler]

Welding rods. If you go with a locker stay away from mini- spools they break ****.

If i do anything its going to be a cage, safety first.....:gigem:

you should actually do won tons first.

[TdmayfieldIV]

Don't have the money and i wont in the foreseeable future so I will start with a rollcage. The 9" can be built pretty strong so i'll stay with 35's and baby it for a while

[KrazyKarl02]

Just Duck!:gigem:

Find BMFScout's pics of his roll. It will make you think about relying on a stock top.

[CheapJeep]

Cook's roll is another example... How the 7ft tall Encinoman wasn't crushed I will never understand.



As for lockers, weld that ****...

[Sharpe]

Cook's roll is another example... How the 7ft tall Encinoman wasn't crushed I will never understand.

Its because he and Kyle were wadded up in a ball of XL at the bottom (passenger side) of the cab. Not buckling up might have actually been helpful in that situation...

[CheapJeep]

wadded up in a ball of XL man meat...

I didn't know you were a roll cage expert. But yes, the cage isn't right, the bed is though. The sheets that plate the top of the bed are aluminum but the bottom ones slant in like boatsiding and are uhmw.

[Sparling]

I was just yankin your chain, I don't know much about roll cages. But personally, I would put something around where you sit. I like Cooks cage and John Browns cage, especially how they tie in some front end protection and a small stinger so you don't mess up too much sheet metal when you go ramming your bronco through trails designed for jeeps.

Ryan the bronco looked like that at one point? And now you have cut it up? Whassamatta witchu?

Did the green thing used to be a 4runner? Looks kindasorta familiar.

Tommy if you're not ready to go full on interior cage, consider a tube bed/cage with a super burly main hoop and a front bumper with some sort of stinger on it. Doesn't need to be full on boner bar, just something that gets level with the hood. The theory is that in a hard roll you, your passenger and your motor will all be beneath the plane from stinger to top of hoop, and as long as neither of those gets crushed it will take a huge rock to poke far enough through that plane (i.e. your roof) to injure you

I shouldn't have taken all of the trim off, it looked pretty good back then.....

Or EFI

[TdmayfieldIV]

neither. Efi is not economically feasable for an m block and propane is for bbq's. Tbi is the plan.

Not efi

[mudtoy67]

Not efi

Ok.:laughing:

[Sparling]

Not efi

Good one. All along I thought tbi was a computer telling a couple of fuel injectors when to inject fuel in to the intake. What is it if it isn't EFI?

[Sharpe]

Electronic Fuel Injection

[AggieTJ2007]

neither. Efi is not economically feasable for an m block and propane is for bbq's. Tbi is the plan.

you should be slapped in the back of the head for this comment

but yes you should do TBI better get it done before Flem graduates if you want help with the computer

[Sharpe]

Flem graduated in May...kinda.

[Sparling]

Can't you run all the stock 350 stuff? What do you need flem for?

[RCcola55]

after that comment, tommy you will not be getting you key back, i now own another bronco!!!!

[TdmayfieldIV]

Ok, I am biting my tongue here, what I meant is that a ford efi setup will not be economically feasable because that would require efi heads, new fuel lines etc.

Yes tbi is fuel injection but I thought it was different being a low pressure system that injects from one place rather than injectors at each cylinder.

[uglyota]

injects. fuel. according to an electronic trigger.

google TPI, MPFI, CPI...and TBI :D

[KrazyKarl02]

Yes tbi is fuel injection but I thought it was different being a low pressure system that injects from one place rather than injectors at each cylinder.

I think Chevy TBI actually runs at a higher pressure than the Ford injection, but I could be wrong.
