After doing A LOT of research, I decided to not use the 404 axles in their stock form. I decided to build a hybrid mog/9 for the rear. 9 inch center section with mog boxes. I converted them to disc brakes to avoid the common over heating problem and to provide better brakes. I turned down two stock long side axle shafts to 35 spline and I am running a Strange large bearing center housing with ARB. I am running a 2:47 R&P and then I have the reduction of 2.17 in the portal boxes. Now I can drive over a 5 gallon bucket and not hit it! ;D

Nice! I can clear a milk crate!

I have a complete set of Rockwells..one front, one rear. Was going to do an 'extreme' EB build with them but now I'm just sitting on them. I recently found a '52 IHC 1.5 ton truck that looks like it needs 'em.;D

I need more projects..just like Mad does too.%)

Holy Thread bump Mad.
Mog + Bronco, how much more motivation do you need?

Maybe a new assistant Mechanic?
