Re: Looking for your suggestions as I build a no budget racer

Those are Wild Horses Early Bronco coils on there, they were 2" lift coils and they gave me about 1/2" of lift. After the first lap, they should sag down to stock height.

Re: Looking for your suggestions as I build a no budget racer

Damn, I was hoping I'd take more pics, but I didnt. The Race is on 9/24. I built out extended Radius arms, but it's still held back by 2 Rancho 9000's up front. I added a steering quickner. It's been a constant battle every day after work, but I hope to be mostly done this weekend. If so, I will hea...

Re: Extended beams 4.5" over

I would jump at these, but I will not be in So Cal until Halloween.
Anyone ever head up to the bay area?

Re: Does anyone offer a plate kit?

Everyone is entitled to be paid for their money. geez, touchy subject. I don't think the plate kits are made from 4130, welding co-mo back to mild steel kina defets the purpose co-mo, IMO. All the work in a plate kit is the welding it in, I see that as a 5-8 hour job. It seems like a good idea to se...

Does anyone offer a plate kit?

I was hoping to save some time by buying a pre cut out plate kit for a bronco TTB 44, but I can't find one.
I did talk to THREAT but they wanted $500 for a DIY plate kit.
I'm just looking to save some time by not making templates and cutting it out myself, but not at that price point.

Re: Looking for your suggestions as I build a no budget racer

I do like cable trusses! I was just going to make a truss on this one out of 1"x1" 1/8 wall square stock. It held up on my jeep pretty well, and it's quick and easy and the square die for my bender has only been used 3 times, I gotta get my monies worth on it! I did weld the tubes of the rear axle a...

Re: Looking for your suggestions as I build a no budget racer

no suspension limits on in class, the only rules are safety related (cage, nets, cell, lights)

Re: Looking for your suggestions as I build a no budget racer

I'll add that the door are going back on, it's just easier to gut and build a cage with them gone.

Looking for your suggestions as I build a no budget racer

For the last few years I've been racing the Nor Cal rock racing and VORRA series in the pre runner class in a loaner. Nothing special, it's a Jeep Wagoneer with a CJ7 body bolted to it and a nice shock package. With a rule change coming for 2017 I need to get my bronco done and grandfather'd into th...
