Yes sir. Plan to do some maintenance to the front end, and if all goes well finally get my tube fenders built.

Picked this up too. But no rush on getting this in just yet.

Well minor update, Bronco had developed a minor vibration and hum, primarily coming from the front differential. Took the truck into JL to have it looked at, turns out the case (third member) had a minor issue, and was wearing bearings (I'll take pictures to explain) and the front driveshaft was fairly bent. Decided to pull the third, and go through all of it. Planning to do a big Mexico run this year, so figured now was the time. Replaced wheel bearings, gears, case bearings, seals, locking hubs, seals, etc. New driveshaft is also on order.

Picked up the truck today, but the DS hadn't shown, so it is San the front DS. Will take back once the DS is in.

Hmm. Bent from rock damage?

The driveshaft? No, just tweaked......no visible rock damage. Its the original DS, but didn't see any hard rock damage.

Interesting. Stock axles usually go forever (aside from breakage). It's good you're getting after the vibration... small ones can turn into major issues pretty quickly.

Yup, agreed Steve...... We shall see once it's all buttoned up.

Heading to Richer Racing for a few upgrades, and then will get it back To JL to throw the DS back in, and button everything up.

Here is a progress pic. Richer killing it, what a difference in professionalism from these guys. Called late December, was given a start date, written estimate, and so far they have stuck to both! I had been pushed out like 4-6 times over a few months from the place that was originally going to do these, glad I pulled the trigger.

I'm really diggin the radius too, Cho killing it!!

Looking very nice Tony. No doubt this mod is good for at least another 5MPH in the whoops.

We're dangerously close to beers and rib eye now.....

Spot on Jim. I'm actually going to try and Prerun the rib eye and Beers on January 30th. May head up tonKOH for the day and poke around with my daughters. And then obviously stop and make sure our reservation is set.... And while I'm there........ :)
