Re: Brian's '96
Brian, great to see you are almost there. Everything is looking really good as always. Cant wait to see how you like the new setup and how you will need to adjust etc.

Have you grinded any material from the u-joint/shaft before? I would be very interested to know what the stock max. angle is and what you are able to acheive.

Im in the same boat, mine snaps off ever time I go on a good run. What would you charge for one of them things for me? The coil mount that is...

I removed a bit of material with the previous set up Griffin. Now there's a couple of inches more droop, so it's binding in one area just a tad. Haven't checked the angles, but I'll do that the next time it's in the air.

Re: Brian's '96
I'm not touching anything until my Bronco is ready for the dirt. It's been 1 1/2 years since I've driven it, so all side jobs are out until the time comes again. Hit me up again after Pismo if you still need one and I'll be more than happy to hook it up.93Bronquito wrote:Im in the same boat, mine snaps off ever time I go on a good run.

Re: Brian's '96
Hey Brian, if I remember correct, the shorter the intake the less torque / more hp the longer the intake the more torque you get. Kinda random...
I'm just here for the views. It helps me feel wanted.

Re: Brian's '96
Good point; however, for now I'm just trying to make things fit. This is certainly not the set up I'm dreaming about.

Re: Brian's '96
Looks good B, I need to come up with a bracket for mine as well. Will you have the bronco ready for the Dec race?

Re: Brian's '96
Thanks Jer. The December race is a bit too close. I'm planning on the Pismo trip as the first real outing. Hoping to head out to Barstow to tune the front shocks the week after Christmas. Still a lot of work to be done before this thing is solid.Polarcub wrote:Looks good B, I need to come up with a bracket for mine as well. Will you have the bronco ready for the Dec race?

Haven't got much done the last few days, but finished up the bracket for the air cleaner.

Re: Brian's '96
Well, shiz! After sitting on the garage floor for a few months I'm finally ready to get the T-case swapped in. It was seeping a bit, so I bought seals and cracked it open to re-glue the case. Much to my dismay, the anti-rotation plate to the pump was broken and laying in the bottom of the case. I doubt parts stores carry these things, but I guess it's worth a try. Bahhhhhh!

Take it out of you electric t-case. That part should be the same.

Re: Brian's '96
The range hub is quite warn and beat up. Probably needs to be replaced as well.
