While I was waiting, I put end caps on my bumper and painted it.
I forgot to ask you, how bad is the glare on the hood?
Bad
Needs a Lunar Visor.
lund?
Looks great!!!

Man that's a pretty good contact patch you got there tumtum
How the f did you do that?
Stock gears. I guess the pinion nut backed off. It's ok I got new gears and carrier anyway.
Looks like Tate's bronco transmission is coming back to me......this time I'm adding a plate and fin cooler with its own fan mounted somewhere inside the bronco.
Got the "new" transmission put in. Feels really solid. I think tate said it was recently rebuilt. It has a shorter tail housing than my old one so I had the option of either chainging out tail shafts, which involves tearing the whole thing apart, or to make new driveshafts. Being that I already ****ed up one transmission I figured i would stick to the simple stuff.
Dug through Travis' driveshaft pile and found a length of tube I could use, thanks bud.

then added the plate and fin cooler with a 12" fan. Hooking it up to the ignition switch through a relay so I don't forget to turn it on.

Does it have a **** kit?
What am I looking at in these last pictures?
A bronco? :flipoff2:
The last two pictures are at full bump with the axle level-ish
coilovers?
Fitting the shocks, so maybe tommy can actually achieve decent travel
Yeah but what's the point? Checking for travel? Coilovers? Those 7100s?
The 7100's and lower the ride height
Travis comes into town for one day, convinces me to take it all apart, and leaves it for me.......
Trying to fix the "stinkbug stance" as Hudson would call it.
Cut 1/2 coil out or put a sherman tank motor in it.
New bump stops. The stock ones were dry rotting, I broke them off with my hands. Seems I neglected these long enough because the track bar mount on the axle hit the frame. I extended them 1" so that even if the bump stop is compressed down all of it's steps i will still have about 1" before the track bar mount hits the frame.

The res on this shock makes it hard to make towers. Don't have the room for the tube style so I'm gonna have to get creative.

So I drew a shock.....then this design.

Then had some keystone and realized that was stupid

as for fixing the stink bug......the coil bucket mounting bolts go through the engine crossmember, so it'd be a bitch to redrill them. cutting coils off is kind of ghetto but I might do it.

The spring rate is too high and the front doesn't flex all the way anyways so I don't see cutting a coil reducing travel.
It might only be a small amount and might not even had been usable, but still a reduction. Aren't both ends of the spring bent to fit the buckets?
if spring rate is too high, cutting will only make it worse
Made a shock tower.

Looks short. I'm guessing the axle side mount is low on the tube?
44s
Did he go get them?
Is he gonna actually tell me that he backed out of the deal he made for my tires? Doubtful since he has not returned the one I loaned him for free over 6 months ago.
What a good guy.
Sorry, forgot to text you back. I'll bring you your tire whenever you need it.
Just take all of his valve stems at alto, I'm sure you'll feel better when he finds out his rims are pinching his brand new 44s
44's should be interesting to watch on this contraption, i see lots of breakage and not alot of fixing in the future for this rig
How about you mind your own god damned business and stop sabotaging every ****ing thing I own.Quote:
