Re: The Goonwagon
What axle is on there now that you are replacing? The stock 8.8?

Re: The Goonwagon
Current axle is a Summer Bros trussed 9 inch semi float. 5/8 studs, 4.56s, some kind of LSD. Housing is bent. Will be available soon for someone who has the skills to straighten it.
Re: The Goonwagon
Hmmmmm, very tempting. What's the WMS to WMS width?

Re: The Goonwagon
Dont know off the top of my head. Once its out Ill measure but its basically stock width. Forgot it also has Currie axles but cant remember the material. The new rear end is 4 inches wider to match the extended beams
Re: The Goonwagon
Ahhhh, shoots, was hoping it was wider also. Been looking for something to match my 4.5" over frontend.

Re: The Goonwagon
Things are starting to come together.
Adapting the NP205 for mating to the 4L80 trans.
Yukon 3rd member in the Currie housing.
Geiser Bros pinion skid plate and sun visors, but with Geiser parts the Bronco will officially be a TT.

Re: The Goonwagon
Had no room under the hood so the trans cooler had to go under the truck
Geiser Bros pinion skidplate means its officially a TT
Cant get over how badass full floater hubs look.
Cant wait to beat on it at the 500

Did you contact them for the pinion skid? Or did you get it used?

Re: The Goonwagon
They are about 20 minutes from where I live so I just went by the shop and bought it. Geiser Bros actually make and sell a fair amount of parts these days. Front TT hubs, misalignment spacers, body mount discs, bump cans, sway bar ends, etc.

I checked their website but didn't see anything for sale. How much did it run you?

Re: The Goonwagon
Not sure as I bought a bunch of stuff.
Their website is not the most up to date. Give them a call.

Re: The Goonwagon
Weld on steel skid plate for an NP205. Overkill is Under Rated.
Didnt need it for protection, but the case hangs a bit low so I wanted to so I could slide over stuff, instead of hanging up.

While Finishline Racing did all the work, I also have to thank Philo as he helped a ton sourcing parts an making this odd combo work.

Re: The Goonwagon
Had issues figuring how to program the trans and some leaky gaskets in the new engine. All good now but that ate up the test time. Baja Bound in 12 hours. Will shake it down on course
