Re: Nothing special class3 pics

Your bronco looks killer. I'd say 90% of the time, the first trip ends with a broken something. Can I ask what may have caused the break of the tie rod? I executed the first steering rod poorly, and was pushing the truck pretty hard. About 60-65 MPH through some pretty good bumps. I used 1.5 x.120 ...

Re: Carly's 96

The girls are now racing 2 series. 170s and sprint carts BUT we finally rear end parts! I ended up ordering a complete rebuild kit from yukon on amazon. Turns out its a pretty nice kit for under 600.00. I forgot to order a crush sleeve eliminator kit so that will need to be ordered. https://uploads....

Re: Rugged Radios Stretched Bronco - Factory Race Support, Tacos, and Coffee!

Did the porting ever get done on the intake Steve, or did that ever happen? The exhaust looks great. Why manual brakes? No worries! Yes. Porting is done and waiting for the new engine. Although, I'm tempted to install it on the current engine just to feel the difference. The current system was a ho...

Re: ISO Preferred spring rate and initial valving front

Stock width? I ran stock width 400/500 and was at 1 1/4" preload. Now on 350/450 and figuring 2" preload. I had a windsor in my old bronco and a 302 in Carly's .

Lets talkk cold air intakes

Okay, so I have been beating my head up against the wall. I spoke to my smog guy who states, that as long as the mass air flow meter stays with the stock intake tubes, I can run something after. I can't run the stock air box because I thought it would be cool to build an engine cage. I have the stoc...
