I got the Carli track bar in today, it was a pain because the axle brackets were sucked in from tightening the bolt so much to get the KORE track bar tight.
Overall this is a huge upgrade the front end is a lot tighter and no more bump steer. The old KORE track bar was 1 3/8 inch tubing where the new Carli one is 1.5 inch tubing. Also I went back with the 14mm bolts on the frame and axle
now all I need to do is re-center the axle, I swear I measured 3 or 4 times and it was 39 and 1/8 inches long however the steering wheel is off center and the axle is too far driver. Hopefully I can just take it off at the frame and legnthen it a bit and it should be fine.

(yes I know my bumps are not all the way in the cans)
Man who's good lookin red ford is that over there?
'91 Bronco 351w, ZF5, D44 TTB, 9" rear swap with disk brakes, 37" toyos, method wheels, mastercraft seats, A/C and heat
Put ~700 miles on my truck this weekend, Fuel consumption was a little high due to just hauling ass but got almost 12 towing Sam's buckwheat and ~15 unloaded.
The 37's are staying, turns out most of my issues were caused by tunning and have now been fix. Better drop hitch, air bags and gears will still be going on in that order. It's easy to see some hotter EGT's with the lower cruising RPM's, but that's just fixed by speeding up
Couple poser pics
BTW, Sam's has a really amazing place
For comparison, my place which is only 300 miles west (should be one tank):

I thought you were putting them in place of the factory fog lights.
can you legally drive on the road with those or are you just planning on using them for the beach and whatnot

the pry-bar was not used on the bumper...

I dig it. I would think tow points there should be good

Looks good travis.
He who dies with the most **** wins, after seeing your collection you are in the lead no doubt!
Thats going to look slick... What size are the holes in the front plate going to be? We have a 2-3/8" punch for our iron worker, if that is about the right size, you could bring it up to paris and punch them out
