Ill check the plunge thanks John. It was super weird the way it slammed under load off a hill into some whoops I tried hitting the gas to air off the hill last minute and failed big time. About the 8 or 9th trip on that u joint. Gotta love spares, way fun trip but need some shock tuning was pretty soft this time out.

Hey Shane , Good to meet up with you at the Jeep Safari.

Now the jeep now has more pressing issues than Shocks. It is now 2wd until I get the front rebuilt. Moab result is carnage.

In case others want to reat the Mag article, here is the link

Skip the expensive water pump. Just put a stock one in it. Even Ford Motorsport never used anything special. Not even in the GT40 with the engine and radiator on opposite ends of the car.

Id have to check, but I remember getting them them from John at autofab. I thought he has his own packs made from deaver or something like that.

Must be nationals then because I bought them from him, I sold the deavers that I first bought for it to Nick, my buddy recommended autofabs springs. And they do work great, not as stiff as the deaver's were.

Bronco has been lonely in the garage the last year and a half...been tinkereing but my 2 year old takes most of my time(and money). hoping to go out to ocotillo and felipe this season! Playing with the idea of buying a Bronco for a DD.
