Re: Bronco and 9,000 to spend

Definitely cheaper in the long run to buy a vehicle someone else has all ready built you will save thousands, and be enjoying your investment immediately instead of lanquishing in someones shop.

Re: Fabricated housing VS heavy duty

Fabricated housing is worth the extra money dont waste your money on the heavy duty stock type housing unless you are just trail riding at a slow pace. As far as axle, fullfloater if you can afford it. You can run flange axles on a fabricated housing if you dont want to spend the money on fullfloat.

Re: SAS Sway Bar???

I have a 78 bronco and had a similar issue until I replaced the ball joints and the problem was solved no more sway. I do not have sway bars.

Re: BACK IN THE DIRT

The heim steering was one of the best changes I made to the Bronco from stock. I experience no bump steer that I can tell, and I drive the vehicle at a pretty good pace through the desert. The track bar and drag link are almost parrallel with the heim steering. All of the components are much lighter...
