Alot of bling upgrades to the bronco!!

Post by Rockcrawler »

Well i got my axle shafts and put them in they work great. I put my 12k winch in only to find out that it was broken so i went to tody and bought a brand new 16.5 ti winch, and put that in last night. I also made up some in cab winch controls and fan kill switch.

OK, more info and closer pics required on those axles. First glance I thought they were birfields, now I have no idea what they are, but I know I want to know more!

looking at the length they are for a solid axle, not a TTB

rock i could spend all the money i want on any of them i wanted ........ i just dont have it to spend ( mostly because i am single now) like i said its my child support, and i prefer to pay it over the upgrades ........ so its going to be a slow process for me too...... but it should give me time to figure out what i want to do with it first, and then i just have to make it happen.... lol

its always a good idea to think about what you want to do with the rig and build to that even if it takes you a little longer. I have changed my rigs setup so many times. I have had it lifted with the ttb 28 then leafs with a low pinion dana 44 full width then coiled with a high pinion dana 44 and then coiled high pinion dana 60 and then air bagged dana 60, and i still got this itch to put rockwells under it and make it a 6x6!!! So think about what you want to do and shoot for it once unlike me who just keeps shooting!

well rock i understand the concept there, but its always god to keep shooting, if you dont have what you want. :redneck: ...... personally i wont ever do any rock climbing, not enough rocks around here, but i will lift with the 28 and eventually switch to a 35 but i will probably never go past the 35..... i want to keep mine street legal too so i will probably just install a 4 inch suspension lift, and maybe an automatic eventually depending on whether i can get the clutch problems lined out i keep encountering...... my bronco likes to buck if ya know what i mean, getting alot of clutch chatter. and 4th gear synchronizer is shot.... but i think it might be the rear drive shaft causing the buckng sensation when takng off...(still stock tulip style) .......... my next upgrade will be a different driveshaft ( universal style) or my lift, depending on which i find first at the better deal, i know i want a skyjacker lift, i know there is cheaper lifts but most suck..... and if your going to pay for it then accept no substitute for the real deal...... thats my philosophy
