Re: New to broncos, LandCruiser guy..

hey man, good to have ya on here! from my experience so far, the driveshafts on my 87 have held up very well actually. the rear and front axles are decent on the bii, the ford 7.5 and the dana 28. but with larger tires they dont seem to hold up very long. i shot the teeth of the ring gear through th...

Re: Weird noise coming from front wheels?

i guess it would depend on where you buy from. i got mine at Oreilly's atuo parts when i rebuilt my front end for around 8-12 dollars. they can be an ass to replace sometimes, its easiest to just pull both axles out of the diff and then take the joints out and replace, the lock rings are a pain to g...

Re: Weird noise coming from front wheels?

Ok. I finished the tranny rebuild and got the bii all back together. All the tranny stuff went back in great! Had to replace battery cables to get it to start:/ The shifting is very loose. Loose in all gears. But dosent fall out of gear. I'm thinking I need to replace the bushing on the shifter? Or ...
