Re: Superduty Knuckle on a Dana 50 TTB
I don't see the advantage. The D50 parts are damn strong and serviceable. As far as I know, unit bearings were designed to be less costly to assemble, not because they're better.

Re: Rugged Radios Stretched Bronco - Factory Race Support, Tacos, and Coffee!
The guys that did the intake manifold porting also do throttle body so I figured it would be good to have it all matched. I’ve also not heard good things about aftermarket throttle bodies… I like stock, so it seemed like a win to me. Regarding Magnaflow exhaust on Broncos… well, I just got back from...

KOH 2024 - King of the Canners
Who’s going to KOH this year? I’ll be out there working as per usual and hoping to sneak out to a few runs, meetups, and to clean up with the guys at the Bad Lines Good Times forum. Not sure what day this is happening, but will update when I get more info. https://forum.badlinesgoodtimes.com/threads...

Re: Antenna Delete Ideas
Always looking for education on antennas. To many of them out there to digest all the hype. Steve, Does Rugged have VHF/UHF gain comparisons for antennas and their location. Hi Paul, we don't. Data sheets on our offerings are available separately but there is no single document to compare on. As fa...

Re: Antenna Delete Ideas
I would love to get a all band all mode radio that would be in the 100-200 watt range, but most antennas that will cover 25mhz to 500mhz don't look to durable for off road. That's the problem with multi-band antennas. We designed a great dual band (VHF / UHF) antenna years ago but have been hesitan...

Re: "Blanc-Oh!", my distraction
Dang. Bummer. I always use a gasket and a small amount of sealant (I like Motorcraft TA-31). And if the timing cover is even remotely sketchy, I replace it. Good luck, brother!

Re: "Blanc-Oh!", my distraction
Ah, ok. That sucks. I’ve been out of parts for a while. Seems like the green boot joints from NAPA are the way to go?

Re: "Blanc-Oh!", my distraction
You shouldn't need to change the seal if it's not leaking (but I get that it's easy maintenance while you're there). Alignments can be a lot of work if there are worn components since you can't really set it that way. As soon as the car moves, drag, gravity, etc., will push it out of alignment again...

Re: Rugged Radios Stretched Bronco - Factory Race Support, Tacos, and Coffee!
Wilson Truck Comments - The ABS kit was not one of my great ideas. They worked ok after a bunch of tweaking. Looks like Steve is making it more conventional. My decision for ABS was the significant increase in line pressure versus stock. Oh well. Yes it is a 7000 # rig and needs really good brakes....

Re: Rugged Radios Stretched Bronco - Factory Race Support, Tacos, and Coffee!
Working really well! Todd Z. Thanks! I’m REALLY happy with it. The car has always handled well and is super comfortable in the rough, but I’d never made time to tune it… finally decided to do something about it and, of course, I should have done it sooner! Next up… just received my ported intake ma...

Pre-R2R shock rebuild (and video above)…
Shocks out… I like using the stock (but extended) inner fender-liners. They provide plenty of protection and remove in about 5 minutes… makes it way easier to get to things!

Re: Rugged Radios Stretched Bronco - Factory Race Support, Tacos, and Coffee!
Per usual, Rage to the River was a rad time! A recent re-valve in the front shocks (and removal of internal bypass components) paid off big time. The car drove like I wanted it to and took the rough and big bumps even better than it used to… can’t wait to get it out again for New Year’s. https://you...

Those look great! I was going to have some done for Wilson but then thought about the fact that I’ve never had a headlock failure… keeping mine simple (for now), but those look great!robertcrav wrote: ↑Thu Jul 20, 2023 2:30 pmI had these done for a customer by OMF recently

Re: Cargo/tool storage solutions.
It’s that time of the year. Prepping for Rage to the River... I can’t say it’s last-minute, but certainly later than I’d like, but this on [every trip] sneaks up on me. Despite the ample warning! I’m getting some basic prep/look over done on the car, and hoping to hand off the checklists to baby kid...

Re: "Blanc-Oh!", my distraction
I only ever used stock pitman arms on the "cut and turn" front ends. I had a lot of people tell me it would drive better with a dropped pitman arm but never tried it... because I never felt the need. In other words, they drove great. Do you have a stock arm you can try?
