    Edelbrock off-road kits: Are they worth it?

    I just finished battling it on my newly purchased Bro-in-laws EB. I was a minute away from just ordering Chuck's Off-Road Quad, then it all came together. After installing the spring loaded needle and seat, and lowering the float level, it was hesitating really bad. I changed the float level a...

    high steer arms

    I am in the middle of debating the same thing. From what I have seen, no, D44 and D60 high steer arms are significantly different. The best 2 places I have found so far are Rockstomper and Roadless Gear, with the arms for ~$100ea. I wish I had more useful info, but I just started looking into it...

    Favorite Tires?

    I love my MTR's. 2 1/2 years daily driver (30+ miles) siped and a little lazy on rotates with a spool, and 1/2 left on the rears, and 1/3 left on the fronts (I just rotated finally). I am very happy with how they handle in all circumstances, especially snow and ice conditions. Minimal noise, and...

    Tie-rod ends

    I have used the Channel Lock method and it can lead you a little astray. The 2 best ways are jacking up the front end and having someone move the tire back and forth in the side to side motion while watching for side to side movement of the joint inside the socket. A little quicker and easier is...

    Mini Spool in My Nine

    I am happy with mine as a daily driver (30+ miles). It isn't very noticeable while driving, I am running stock axles with 35's, and other than moderately increased tire wear, I have no complaints. <br>My thought was either spend $600 plus on a selectable locker, or just spool it. Reliability...

    Chevy disk using the Knuckles too??

    Yes, the tie rod ends do go in from the top, but what I was hoping to use was aftermarket high steer brackets. They bolt on to the top flat section of the knuckle right beside the upper ball joint. This should move my steering rods 3-4inches higher than modifying the Bronco knuckles for the rod...

    Chevy disk using the Knuckles too??

    With all the Chevy disk conversion discussions, I couldn't find any that discussed doing it with the knuckles too.<br><br>I have all the parts, and I am hoping to get the Chevy front axles cut down in the next couple weeks. I am wondering if '74 Chev 1/2ton 4x4 Knuckles will fit my D44 housing...

    Need replacement Dana 44 axle shaft

    Another tidbit from this months Peterson's (I am pretty sure this one) is that Spicer is discontinuing the 297's U-joints, and replacing them with a newly developped 720X. Spicer just built these for the Jeep Rubicon, and their testing showed that they are 10 times more durable, and much...

    I got screwed on the '89-5.0 engine!!!!

    A quick question, are you certain about the Edelbrock Carb? Unless it is the new off-road version, you may want to consider it further. Edelbrock's are not typically the best off road performers, at least not without alot of work and adjustment.

    Floor panels replacement advice

    Jason, I haven't used it yet... I only bought it 2 weeks ago, but a couple friends have them and really like them. It comes with the MIG hoses and regulator, but you have to get a bottle from a gas company (ie. Praxair). The only quote I have so far is ~$150 for the bottle on a 10year lease, and...

    Floor panels replacement advice

    Bronco Ed, I think you were asking what type of welder to use, I don't have much experience, but from that and some asking around, I just bought a little Lincoln welder.They have them at Lowe's and Home Depot, the one from Home Depot came with a cart (Weldpak 3200HD) for $440. I have used the...

    Rampage CD players?.....

    Thanks guys, I appreciate that info. I was hoping that maybe Rampage was old Pioneer or Kenwood models they had bought rights to or something. I will be getting a real one then....<br>Thanks again!<br><br>

    Rampage CD players?.....

    From previous posts, I have seen that some recommended brands for running well without skipping are Pioneer, Sony Xplode, Blaupunkt, etc. I am specifically wondering if anyone is using a Rampage deck successfully. If they run well without skipping on the trail, at angles in consoles, etc.? The...

    I have been getting mine from a local Auto Paint store, they stock alot of POR15 products, and the staff is really knowledgeable. For any local guys, it is Keystone Professional Auto Paint Supply.

    lining

    Wouldn't POR15 have to be covered in some way though? From what I have seen, it is a super smooth, slippery surface. Does it always turn out that way, or does it have enough surface texture to offer some footing? <br>I have seen moisture from carpet eat away other bed liners (I am not sure which...

    Best place to buy Chevy brake Spindles?

    I am just curious if anyone has come across a good supplier for new spindles? JCWhitney doesn't show them in their catalog anymore, although I haven't called and personally asked someone. It looks like the best prices from the Bronco Houses is $105ea., which isn't bad, but I would like to do...
