    Looking for 17in rims, help

    Thanks for starting this thread! Was just about to start my own. I’ve had 15” rims and 33” tires for the 8 or 9 years I’ve owned my bronco. I just went from 35’s to 37’s on my dodge 2500 and I’m ready to invest in wheels for the Bronco and put these 35’s to use. Just wish there were more pics...

    The ZF install begins

    If I didn't include it in my write up, I had to take the shifter off (the 4 allen head bolts) every time I removed or installed the ZF. I'd stuff a clean shop rag in the shifter hole after pulling it out. With a 2" body lift, this might not be necessary, but with a 1", for me, it was.

    Best Stereo location for Radio Delete

    I originally put an Alpine CD player in my center console. I was doing a lot of work recently (ZF, carpet & seats) decided to upgrade the stereo. I went with the Sony bluetooth AM/FM receiver ( I have an Infinity on the saltwater boat which I love, but bought the same Sony for the lake boat...

    Hydroboost brakes dragging

    Thanks for the thread. I think this is the next thing I need to fine tune. The bronco jumps a bit sometimes, almost like the engine has to overcome the brakes.

    The ZF install begins

    I drive it almost every day now, something I've never been comfortable doing. The 5 speed needs to be a priority on your list.

    anyone have a Best Top Bikini top on their Bronco??

    I had the bikini top & then I went with the safari top b/c I changed from the WH San Felipe style roll bar to the family cage, but I didn't care for how high the riser went, so I cut it down, almost by 1/2. Lets the top rest slightly more level. (obviously I don't have windshield wipers...

    Stiff clutch after ZF install, hydraulic hose keeps blowing off SC

    I drive the girls (6 & 9) to school every morning, they LOVE taking the Bronco.

    Stiff clutch after ZF install, hydraulic hose keeps blowing off SC

    The final solution for the clutch hose that kept popping out was to pull the female extension out of the slave cylinder and put the clutch hose directly in to that port and secure it with a barrel pin. I did have to modify the slave base at the port to get it to accept the hose (a new hose with...

    Any tips on fender flare instalation?

    I did similarly, but stainless steel. I taped the fender flares on, used self tapping screws to install them, back the self tapping screws out one at a time and drill the correct size, install button head stainless screw with nylock nut. (not the actual screws I used, I used #8's)

    The ZF install begins

    It's finally in for good (fingers crossed), and it drives incredibly well. I used valvoline synthetic to fill the transmission and it rattles for just a second when you take it out of gear, otherwise it's quiet. I take off in 2nd gear (4.11 gears and 33" tires) and cruises easily on the...

    Stiff clutch after ZF install, hydraulic hose keeps blowing off SC

    Thanks. Your jaw might hit the floor if I laid it all out for you. It's an exposed nerve for sure.

    That's a thought, probably not far off the mark.

    Stiff clutch after ZF install, hydraulic hose keeps blowing off SC

    The BC hose has the same fittings on both ends, right? Probably. Their hose is $50+shipping and tax. I can have the same hose cut for $65 while I wait and not gamble that I'm going to get proper phuqued like I have the last two times I spent $800 plus with them. I initially wanted to spend...
