How about some stock width front fenders with a bigger opening? I had 3” fenders stock width on my old bronco for a bit. I went back to stock fenders. That hurt, what happened?

So finalizing the issue, i used a richmond spacer kit. One of the shims broke and caused the issues. To compond the issue, i had to replace the pinion seal 2 times. It wouldve been then I retorqued the nut and overdid the bearings.

Annnd i found the problem. Too much preload on the pinion bearings. Gears looked good to me so a new set of bearings and a new crush sleeve eliminator kit and it should be on the road by tomorrow night. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20260624/fe11811c7bd226965eb8a94e9570b3aa.jpg https://uploads.ta...

Also, the rear end started whining on coast so I’ll tear into that today. This is all that came out of the drain plug. Hoping no big chunks when i drop the pan.

Rancho had the smoothest coil back before i went coil over. I thought they were about 450lb spring rate.

Very cool and looking good! Sometimes it seems like those of us that still cruise around in regular 4WD vehicles (instead of SxS's) are in the minority! Todd Z. Thank you Todd! I personally haven't owned a sxs. My girls are starting to run RS1's and we now have a 2 seat XP that the girls and my nep...

Great pics. Bronco looking good out there. Hoping to make it out to Shea Rd for the Parker 400 next week. Thank you. If you follow it all the way down, you'll drop into the canyon that leads to the old copper mine. Right before a little rock obstacle, there is a trail that leads to the right up ano...

Brakes are working well! Put 1,000 miles on it, changed the rear diff oil which looked great. I was stupid nervous and figured if there were chunks, it would be down another 2 years. The witness marks on the gears pointed to a good pattern so i plopped the cover back on and filled it full of oil. Al...

Hey Rod randomly remembered your last post. Checking in to see how things were? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Hey, Randy, how goes it? I'm doing ok, I guess. I'll be honest, it's been a cunt of a year for me. 11 days after loosing Dad, on the way back from seeing the funeral director and organ...

Nice! Theres alot to see out there.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Randy, I think I can see your brake problem. Unbolt the rear calipers and turn them on the rotor until they are vertical with the bleeder up. Then, get someone inside to pump while you bleed. Once the air is out, return the caliper to it's bracket and bolt it back on. I'm thinking this will cure yo...

120 miles in Lucerne and the only hiccup was i forgot to tighten the jam nuts on the drag link. My steering wheel crept slowly to the left until i figured it out [emoji23]

It honestly is. She drives it regularly. The kids request to be dropped off and picked up and Bri already wants to learn to drive it. Headed to Lucerne this weekend with my Dad kids and my dads cousin who built a 43 willies crawler with an LS. Hoping to go just do some adventuring. Sent from my iPho...
