    D44 upper ball joint adjuster sleeve

    It did the same thing when I went to disk setup couple years ago. I'm replacing a ripped knuckle and it still won't adjust correctly. I'm assuming the inner c is bent. I guess it's damage from a previous owner. Not a big deal, it's my trail rig. I'll probably be changing to HP full width in the...

    I've got the bottom torqued to 90lbs, no problem. I remember this same issue 2-3 years ago, I just left a couple threads out the bottom and tighten castle nut to 100lb. Just don't know why top won't seat correctly. Its a late 70's F150 or Bronco knuckle. The drivers side went fine couple years...

    No brake lights or rear drivers turn signal

    I just went through this myself. Get a test light, and start at the steering column plug. Check the yellow/black wire. I found the connection bad at column plug, cut it out and respliced. You can also check the plug under hood where rear harness plugs into main harness on drivers side. Also...

    Recieved My Marti Report Today

    When I finished the frame off resto on my '68 about a dozen years ago I drove it over to the local Ford dealer. One of the owners sons came out and gave it a look over. He told me "when the EB's were in production, they couldn't hardly give those things away. Now everybody wants one".

    BCB steering stiffener install

    Nice! It looks like your doing this upgrade before you crack the frame. I know a few of us that waited until after to plate the frame.

    Early style grill turn indicator light

    I had the same issue on the last 2 sets I bought. They are wired wrong. Should be dim with parking/headlights on, bright for turn signal. With the cover off, push the wires forward through the socket. Rotate 180 degrees then pull back in socket. Rotating the contacts should fix your issue.

    Quick release fire extinguisher mount

    Got my 4 JB brackets welded up and painted yesterday. Mounted 2 on the EB trail rig. If I get anymore, I would plug weld from the back of the brackets to give them a cleaner look.

    I have the same problem. It's always been the lower radiator hose at the water pump that leaks.

    Any Atlas 4 Skidplate pics?

    Any Atlas 4 Skidplate pics?

    I'm running 37's w/3.5" lift. I'm afraid I may be hanging up w/skidplate. I've got plenty of rock rash on the bottom of duff arms. Trying to keep skidplate design above the arms
