Re: Aluminum Beadlock conversion

Hey David! Sounds awesome, and look forward to seeing your progress. I scored a set of slot mags (aluminum) for my pops' 73 bronco, and he had them converted to beadlocks by OMF in Riverside. www.omfperformance.com Pretty sure their price was in the ballpark you mentioned above. I have a set of forg...

Re: Bray's 96 Sleeper

Yo 24! Sorry for the delayed response- don't check this thread that often. Gen2 does great keeping up through the smoother stuff- extra power and wheelbase work well. Into the rougher stuff and bigger whoops is where the bronco shines. dual rate c/o superior and the extra travel sure is nice Also, r...

Re: Who ports factory 5.8L intake manifolds?

Hey Steve, It's been a number of years, but Greg at Total Performance ported my stock intake in the past. It did not hold up over time unfortunately, so I went with the edelbrock performer package eventually Greg is a good dude https://www.yelp.com/biz/total-performance-machine-and-fabrication-santee

Re: It's on the way.....

She's here. About 80 miles on it now so small sample size. Rides noticeably better than the Sasquatch versions I test drove- the suspension feels great. Plenty of power and shifts like butter. the 2.7l 6 feels ballsier than the same motor in my f150. Fit and finish is superior to my truck as well. M...

The pics are always amazing Bray! Always love seeing your outings. We should sync up for KOH!
Yo Tony!

Work had me on the road and missing KOH- bet it was a blast. Hoping to make the Ocotillo Wells clean up run 2/18.

I'll shoot you a text

Re: Bray's 96 Sleeper

So to be clear, that shaft just unthreaded itself from the eyelet? Nothing sheared, nothing really broken, right? I do like the wood spacer to get ya home. Todd Z. That’s correct Todd; just worked itself free. Loctite would have helped I’m sure. Also wonder how well seated it was into the eyelet in...

Re: NEW BRONCO!!!

money where my mouth was- stoked! The front differential choice and the complete lack of attempt to make the flares and wheel aches correct is just awful in my eyes. No way I’d buy one til the 3rd year. Sasquatch package — sorry but the B team obviously was in charge of this design— Sasquatch packag...

Re: NEW BRONCO!!!

Finally an excuse for some updates here. I ended up pushing my order back as I saw no sense in waiting due to all the delays and the fact my dealer assured me price protection. I had a trip scheduled to travel through all the national parks and a few state parks in Utah in my f350 and cabover, so I ...

Re: Bray's 96 Sleeper

Jumped out expecting to see carnage, and at first glance, I sure as hell did. Lower coil laying in the dirt and shaft just hanging there naked. Thinking it was sheared off I inspected and found that the threads were all intact and no evidence of breakage. Lower mount still bolted to the axle housing...
