What are you making the shock tabs out of? Why not just weld the superdookie ones to the tubes?


And go get the 37s swapped onto the front.

Jesus I just got it on the ground today.

Gonna get a different yoke for the axle or add a flange adapter to the shaft?

I havent decided yet. I think I'll do the flange adapter

[Shaggy]

So it looks like you paid to have the roller tires balanced. Is that the case?

[Shaggy]

And why don't you just move the rear axle back a few inches? It would be a more ideal wheel base and you could leave the driveshaft alone.

[TdmayfieldIV]

The tires on the rear are staying. And I don't pay for tire balancing.

[JB]

Looking good Tommy.

[colman]

good progress.... i will also suggest a little wb and move the axle back. better departure angle as well

[TdmayfieldIV]

As of right now I just need to get it driving. Its been on jack stands for too long and I need to get some seat time before I tear into it again. If I keep making modifications it will never be done and i'll lose motivation. The wheelbase is 105" right now.

[BroncoJo]

Check my drive shaft pile, there should be one I already shortened, might work

[Shaggy]

Stretching wheelbase on broncos is easy. Grind off or torch rivits, drill new holes further back and bolt in. All done. Within 1 case of beer work.

I spent all day running brake lines. I ****ing hate running brake lines. Its all fine and dandy until you find a leak when you try to bleed it. Then you have brake fluid leaking all over your hand slipping off wrenches....**** that.

Anyway, these brakes are tits. After the 3rd time bleeding them I can lock up all 4 pretty easily.

Rti'ed it.




Driveshaft will not need to be shortened.



I need longer shocks



Then Evan brought me some light.

[Seth]

thats how a summer project should be. ready to sell me those tires for my imaginary scout for 100 bucks?

[AggieTJ2007]

bad news under the rear diff cover. Good thing i'll be putting gears and bearings in there soon, these ones are probably toast. That was the worst smelling gear oil I have ever smelled.

I'm glad I didn't just check if it had fluid in it. I sprayed it all out with brake cleaner and filled it with fresh gear oil+friction modifier for the limited slip.
