I Know this is an old thread, but I'm bored. I put a antenna splitter in line to run a 30ft mast and base antenna when we did remote pits. I also run a Kenwood TK890H so I had dual band capability and I control both the TK890H and the TK790H from a single control head up front. On the Bronco, I had ...

This is a old thread, but once I have my shop back together by the end of the summer, I will offer the GFB channel's in a basic programming for Kenwood TK790 and the older TK730. I will be putting it in all my radio's mobile and handheld. This was a great idea. I run my own frequencies for chasing a...

Another dumb question, but do Dana 44HD 8 lug knuckles bolt directly to a Bronco Dana 44 beam? Then dies the 15" wheels still fit over the 44HD brakes? I would think the rims would need to be 16.5 or 17 to fit. I still want to run the bigger Dana 50 axles and bigger U-joints, are the 44HD U-joints t...

I have now seen the new Laser welders from Everlast. They have a 2000 watt version that is perfect for Off-Road fabrication. It works on Aluminum and steel and 1/2" steel in a single pass. They even descale rust and old paint. That is so cool. It also works like a plasma cutter. So 3 machine's in on...

I am on there. It has been great to connect with old friends and family. Right now it is nice since I am stuck at home most of the time with a herniated disc in my lower back. It suck's. My back has put my Bronco project on hold, but I have still buying parts and reading a bunch of different setups ...

Are you having the typical fuel guage problems? I plan to replace my sending unit with the Holley Lidar unit. It has no moving parts. https://www.holley.com/products/gauges_and_gauge_accessories/gauge_accessories_and_harnesses/parts/19-250 I am putting a new in tank Holley fuel pump and will do both...

I know this is a old thread, but I was thinking of doing just the opposite as the original post asked. I was thinking of putting a f150 38 gallon tank in my 86 Bronco chassis. I would assume the cross member would have to be pushed back 4 or so inches, but would it fit width wise? I was even thinkin...

Good advice, thanks

Hey Paul I am not sure on the diode. I am starting to think about my wire harness and I don't like what I see from Painless or any other that is under $1000. I have done a couple wire harnesses from scratch for Baja Bug's, sand rails and my old Class 12 1835 car. This would be the first EFI car and ...

I found a cool writeup on how to put a Central Tire Inflation System on 05+ unit bearing axles, front and rear. It is the first system for a truck without using Portal axles I have seen. Check it out and comment about it here. I wonder if a unit bearing knuckle could be adapted to TTB front end. I d...

My favorite trail is Canyon Sin Nombre to Fish Creek and the drop off into Split mountain. A lot of fun for a night run.

It was just a thought. The ease of service would be nice. I was looking for knuckles for the Dana 50 and there were a lot more newer Superduty knuckles verses the 95-97 F250 knuckles I was looking for. I have had 37X12.50R16.5LT tires and steel 24 bolt Millitary double beadlock wheels on my 1999 F35...

I know I am reviving an old thread, but has anyone thought of converting a non bolt in third member to a bolt in? It would seem to be easy to drill and tap 3 holes. The hard part would be the bearing and seal on the outside of the case. Maybe weld a spacer to the case, matching the bearing and oil s...

I'd the Dana 44 lower ball joint hole 7 degrees. In the past I did the cut and turn buy reusing the cut one and moving it out. I am going to make a bullet steel one piece lower mount. I keep seeing two angles 7 and 10.

I am going to get a reamer.

I am looking at a couple Icom or Yasue quad band radios with the detachable face, but most are only 50w with the Mars/cap channel expansion. Some of the new ones can be unlocked with a password and you don't even have to cut any jumpers like older USA legal FCC radio's. For now, the Kenwood TK790H a...

So no days GMRS is what most folks are migrating to. Now I have a mobile CB, Mobile VHF and two Boefeng handhelds that deal with all the bands. The handhelds are great for spotter duties on just monitoring the race when walking around. Also there is a big crowd using mobile GMRS. That is why I want...

In this case, it is not for racing. I definitely prefer real race radios like the Kenwood TK790H or if on a budget, a TK730H. I own both of those and they both work great, the TK730H is a little more difficult to get programmed, but a computer literate person with Windows XP experience can get it to...

The Switch Pro is basically a solid-state relay. If you wire it properly there should be a power supply directly from the battery. This is the power to supply all your lights and accessories. Then you have the Light Blue wire, which is a ignition sensor trigger wire. It turns the Switch Pro unit on ...

Looking for some Slotted Mag wheels. 16.5x9.75 with 8x6.5 lug pattern. They can have a ruff finish. I plan to have them beadlocked and powder coated. eventually I want to have a set of sand tires for the dunes and a set of hard pack tires. And a couple spares. I will probably have a couple for paddl...

Nice, I have a CT330 stroker motor in my 250r. I completely rebuilt it, split the case's and put a NOS CT top end. I have a 2006 Honda trx450er with a stage 2 hot cam I ride now and love it and electric start is nice now that I am in my 50's. I have too many toy's, I have the 450, a 400ex, a 1990 Y...
