I made a new crossmember to alleviate that, mounted it on the radius arm pads. Could have possibly made something simpler or modded a factory unit but I just don't think that way.

All the rail buggies do it, and they go where they want, when they want. Only real drawback is tremendous increase in brake wear/expense, and the learning curve to know what tire is spinning and how much brake to apply and when to apply for best results. if you are set on doing it, then buy 2 new re...

If you cannot get those duals at least 8 foot apart you will actually hurt the performance more than you will help. A simple roof mount single is the best talking/best hearing option you could ever do, unless of course you do not have a roof.

Looks great, simple straight forward and tough. My opinion, and only a suggestion mind you but,, I would cut the exhaust pipe in two right past the left/right miter joint and put either a flat flange or a header collector 3 bolt flange in there to facilitate the removal of some of the exhaust for tr...

Other than factory items, power to both ham radios, and to CB. 00 ga wire running to rear so I can plug in a set of jumper cables if need be. Perfect for pulling over on side of road and jump starting someone without turning around. Was originally set up for my winch when it was on 2" receiver.

They are a few more dollars initially but cheaper to run and maintain, if you can find an affordable inverter style wire machine-GRAB IT! Put the arc welder to double duty use and buy a scratch tig unit to add on to it.
Otherwise, the Millermatic 185 is all the machine you may ever want or need.

The "d" is merely an abbreviation of Dana, the axle manufacturer. To change auto hubs to manual hubs you also need the bearing retainer nuts from manual hubs. No adapter is used, just change the nuts and install the manual hubs. SInce you just got your Bronco you need to pull the front bea...

Declare them a gift or a trade,apply a value of $10.00 to them for customs, or classify them as used sample auto parts for rebuild and ship them for under $20.00 total. Do it quite often. Sent a shaft to a guy up north as a sample shaft, no duty or goofy tax.

Just where do you live Willy? And by the way, don't write off the Ford hubs too quickly. Warn made them. Finest quality the cheapest bid can buy.

2dr Explorer is closest thing you'll find-from Ford. A Jeep Cherokee is a pretty good second option, all with decent powered 4.0
