The hole for the valve stem didnt feck up the ballancing?
from the run to 47 last sunday...
Balancing? No balancing on this rig....I ran it up to 30-40mph, and yeah it might shake a little bit, but I am not trying to drive this thing expcept onto the trailerQuote:

If anything it might help. You should see all the weights, courtesy of discount's free rotate and balance :D , on my wheels and they're still out of balance. Every now and then they'll wobble a tad at around 65-70 but not bad.Quote:

those look bangin'. i missed the post when you first got them done. been wondering what was keeping you.
you should see all of the weights on the inside of my wheels, one of them has almost 1.5 lbs on the inside of it
but they didn't vibrate at all at 75/80 mph
are you running an internal beadlock. i can't decide whether i want to cut down the magnesium ones or get pvc ones fpr my h1's
I am running the inserts from USA 6x6. They are plastic. WHeeled them hard this weekend at 8psi. and never had a problem.Quote:

any reason you didn't go lower? I thought most people with double beadlocks ran between 0 and 4Quote:

my driving style huh? My K-Rocks style and Shiloh style are completly different though :beer: :beer:Quote:

Maybe a new project....thinking Toyota or maybe buy the camo s10 at Cardoc and build it.
I have thought about tubing about the Bronco, but I really like the idea of keeping the fullsize appearance to it and keeping it recognizable as a Bronco. We'll see.
It is back home now. I put a starter on it and it starts and runs, but has no balls at all. I think the motor is toast.
sad...
take all the cool parts znd build a ranger like me
what motor is in it, i may have a line on a 5.0 for cheap
I also have a 302 complete carb to oil pan. Someone please take it!
it has a efi302
Unbolt carb from my 302, bolt on EFI crap. Done....

Looks real sad John
Removed front fender

Started the rear cutting. I still need to cut more from the front part of the fender, as well as cut horizontally the rear bottom part. Also need to cut the slider back a few inches.
http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/5...e/img_0661.jpg
Anyone has a spare 8 lug 42 I could test fit?
Also noticed this. i wonder if there is any gear fluid left...
http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/5...e/img_0663.jpg
I think I am going to do the rear kinda like this...

I like this front, but would need a winch mount. I would also tie it into the cage with a bar running exo-style down the frt fender...

I like that tailgate, but I dont like that the 'stinger' sticks up above the bottom of the be, seems like it would be hard to slide large items up and over it. I was thinking about doing something similar to the cheby.
although, I have been thinking more and more of removing the bed and just tubing it out. :blackeek:

Looks cool John.
What is the best way to "roll" the edge of the fender. Obviously, its pretty sharp now and I know I will cut myself or cut up a tire.
a guy in the scout club is pretty good at baseball bat fender rolling, I don't know the exact procedure, but it turns out pretty good.
Cleaned up the cuts today and got a fender from Gordon's

i got nothin for ya JB
screw rolling them weld some 1/4"round bar to the edge
I think the bat is for rolling a current lip, not making a new one when you hacked the piss out of your fenders. :)
Where do you live John? Working on it tomorrow?

Finished the other side today. I was able to pull alot of the fender out. It was pretty smashed in.
As for tires, I think with the BS on the H1s, I really shouldn't go much wider than 12.5, so I think I might go with 38x12.5 SXs. You can see on the pic of the pass. side the area of the inner wheel well that the tire rubs. I really wish they made a 40 or 42 SX though.
As for the front fenders, that will be a little harder. How does one got about narrowing the front? I have seen a couple that section out the middle of the core support and pull the fenders in.
The Clarke procedure for narrowing front.
Remove fenders.
Aimlessly hack away at whatever wires you dont like the color of.
Tear truck apart and start over
works everytime 60% of the timeQuote:

pulled the motor today...
http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/5...e/img_0681.jpg
ordered a shortblock that will be here Thursday. I have a line on some sweet heads, but they might be too much $$. I might settle and find some rebuilt GT40 heads. Other than that and a nice cam, it will stay pretty stock.
not as bad as dexter or 218, but getting there...

You planning on re skinning it, or tubing the front?
