    Painless wiring question

    I'm installing a new painless harness and I have an ididit steering column with the gm style plug. Since the newer column has a hazard switch I'd like to bypass the dash mounted switch. Do I run the 4 wires meant for the old switch to the appropriate wires on the new column? Or does the old...

    New firewall insulation

    Started putting in my new firewall insulation today. That thing is a pain in the ass! I think it'll look good after I'm done, but right now me and the insulation are not friends.

    Door inserts

    I'm working on installing the 1 piece door inserts from wild horses and I have a few questions. 1. How much trimming did you have to do to get a good fit? 2. How did you seal off the seams around the inserts? 3. Did the portion of the insert that meets the floor stay flat against the floor...

    Rear bumpers

    I really want one of the rear bumpers with the tire rack, ice chest rack, and the gas can holder. Is this style of bumper still being built? Seems like the vendors are done carrying this type.

    E brake for Currie built rear

    Has anyone found a way to hook up the e brake on a currie built 9" with the explorer disc brakes? The cable has to come in from the back. Currie didn't explain this when I ordered it last year. I would really like to get my e brake hooked up. Thanks

    Gauge cluster opinions

    I will be rewiring my bronco fairly soon and I'm trying to decide on gauge options. My original plan 4 years ago was to run auto meter gauges (I'm currently running 3 auto meter in a cheapo bezel for oil, gas, and water). Now I'm leaning towards restoring the factory cluster or going with a...

    Quick delivery?

    Anyone else notice faster delivery times when ordering parts? Last week I ordered a set of gears from Randy's Worldwide in Fresno, Ca, and they arrived the next day. I placed the order around 3:00 PM the day prior. This was the first order I have placed with this company. Monday I ordered...

    Replace the axles?

    I have a new Yukon 4.56 ring and pinion and a Detroit truetrac waiting to be installed next week. If the axles still look good is there any reason to replace them? If they are in fact the original axles (front 44 is out of a 76 or 77) should they be replaced due to age? Is it worth the money...

    Currie is installed

    I finished installing my Currie rear 9" yesterday. Took a 5-6 mile drive today. I'm glad I went with the 4.56 gear ratio. I went back and forth between 4.11, 4.30 and 4.56 before I ordered the axle. I finally decided to go 4.56 after lots of reading on CB. Some suggested 4.88 and 5.13, but...

    Rear brake/breather block

    I installed a new currie rear axle a couple of weeks ago, and today I was going to hook up the brakes. I bought a new breather bolt from wild horses to install the block on to the axle tube. The new bolt does not fit the axle! The breather bolt that currie installed is smaller than that of a...

    Battery cables

    Anyone here using the Wild horses heavy duty battery cables? The starter cable is really long compared to the one I replaced it with. As far as I know my starter solenoid is in the factory spot. The other 2 cables fit fine.

    Explorer disc brake lines and drive line help

    Need advice on installing new brake lines for rear disc set up. I will be installing a new currie axle this weekend with the explorer disc set up. I read somewhere on here about having to use flexible lines instead of the hard lines due to movement in the caliper. What lines are recommended for...

    Currie axle

    I almost ordered a currie 9" today. I was going to go the full crate axle route so I could just remove the old one and install a brand new assembly. I called and got a price quote a couple of months ago. The quote was for a 35 spline 9" with 4.30 gear, Detroit true trac, drain plug, explorer...

    It's a jeep thing

    This jeep has been sitting like this since Tuesday night. The driver is a 20 year old guy. I went and looked at it earlier. This kid is lucky he didn't roll. A local 4x4 club is going to help him recover it. I'm going to try and be there for that. On the way to look at the jeep I spotted a...

    Which gear ratio

    Thinking of running 4:30 gears in the rear 9". For the front I checked the vendors and it looks like they jump from 4:11 to 4:56. If I go with the 4:30 rear what ratio can I run up front? Thanks.

    Dynatrac

    Does dynatrac build axles for Jeeps only? Or do they take custom orders for any vehicle? It seems they are set up for anything Jeep. I watched a couple of videos today of axle upgrades on newer jeeps. One was getting a new prorock 44 front and the other did a prorock dana 80 rear and a dana 60...

    Radiator cap lbs

    I'm currently running a 19-21 lb cap. I have ran this cap without issues for about 3 years now. I'm thinking of running a 15 lb cap to take some pressure off the cooling system. With my current setup my temp stays around 180-185 while driving and about 195-200 idling in traffic when the weather...
