    Tube bending

    Yeah I am fine with doing the work to making a kit fit and got a new welder recently so am looking forward to a project. Not opposed to having someone local building me one though because it would save a lot of time. This might be a deal breaker. The welder I got is a miller 211 but only...

    Tube bending

    Any if you guys have experience with all4fun cages? I am now looking at either that one or spare parts kit from the forum. I want to run a bikini top in the summer and the shape of spare parts might make it fit a little funny. So all of the cages probably have some sort of indent in them...

    Tube bending

    I really like that one but it’s out of my price range with the shipping cost out to California Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tube bending

    I have been doing some research on roll cages, either to build myself, or buying from a vender. It seems like buying a kit would be the best option money wise after the cost of buying a bender and the cost of extra tubing from mess ups along the way. My only concern is the knowing that I am...

    SOLD Family Cage

    Selling my family cage. It started life as a regular cage when I bought the bronco then added the WH rear cage kit to make it a family cage. I want to redo the interior now and going to try to build my own cage once I get rid of this one. Will trade for other bronco parts depending what you...

    Spindle lock ring stuck

    This time I put the inner nut to 50lbs and then backed 90* then put the outer to 50lbs as well. It still seemed a little tight. I know Paul said it should spin pretty free without the brake pads in and it still wasn’t very loose. Maybe I am just overthinking it now but I don’t want it to end up...

    Spindle lock ring stuck

    Looking for some advice, I put it all together and it took it for a quick drive, maybe 20 minutes long, and when I got back the hubs were pretty warm/hot. Is that normal? I’ve never felt them before this test drive. -Evan Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Spindle lock ring stuck

    Yeah I was thinking that if that thread is messed up, the ring will probably end up in the same spot. Unless I had it too tight before so it might miss it. My new spindle nut kits come in tomorrow so I will see how it looks then. -Evan Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Spindle lock ring stuck

    Surprisingly the threads look pretty good and the nut goes on and off smoothly. When the ring spun it stayed on one thread if that makes sense. I’m just going to stick with the oem style and with all your guys advice on the proper installation it should work. -Evan Sent from my iPhone using...

    Spindle lock ring stuck

    Yeah the lock ring is junk now. I tried a couple different drill bits with no luck, it must be a hardened metal. Then got a cold chisel and one hard hit broke it and it fell right out! Now hopefully the local autozone or maybe 4wheelparts has the spindle nut kits so I can get it back together...

    Spindle lock ring stuck

    The bearings and races looked good to me but I’m not a pro at inspecting them. I took them out of the side I did and repacked them and then filled the bearing area in the hub with a good amount of grease. And it sounds like I did put the nut on too tight. I have a decent amount of resistance...

    Spindle lock ring stuck

    I will have to look into that, either this way or with a normal drill bit definitely seems like the best way to go. Drill a hole on both sides then try to break the ring off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Spindle lock ring stuck

    That’s a good idea to drill out the material Paul! I might have not went back a full 90* last time I put it together so that could be affecting it. When I get the new nut kits I’ll make sure I do it this time around. After completed should it have a lot of drag when turning the disk or very...

    Spindle lock ring stuck

    Yeah maybe I can fit a small cut off wheel in there to cut it or a chisel to break it. The ring covers the indents on the inner nut so I can’t unscrew it out. Has anyone tried the stage 8 locking spindle nuts? I’m pretty sure I am installing them right but the pins always break. And I’ll take...

    Spindle lock ring stuck

    I’m in the process of replacing a broken axle shaft and I’ve ran into a problem where the lock ring that goes between the two spindle nuts somehow spun in there and is now not in the groove on the spindle... I’ve tried getting it out for a couple hours now with no luck. Any ideas on how to...

    Rear brakes locking up

    Thanks for the info guys! That proportion valve is the same one I got I believe. Looks like I have a project for the weekend now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rear brakes locking up

    Ever since I swapped in my hydro boost my brakes have been awesome other than the backs locking up. I bought a proportion valve that I haven’t installed yet but read somewhere that they don’t actually restrict the pressure going to the back but only momentarily slow the pressure to the back...

    Electric or Mech

    I had a 2 speed electric fan from WH on a champion aluminum radiator and could not keep it from overheating. I recently did the explorer serpentine swap with the clutch fan and I haven’t gotten above 185* even in the 100* Fresno, Ca heat we have been having lately. I used the WH Saginaw adapter...

    Explorer/Saginaw Serpentine Swap

    Since the last update I put the radiator in, fan, and connected all the hoses. To make the 94 explorer fan shroud fit nicely I got window foam from home depot and filled the gap between the shroud and the radiator. While when I mocked everything up it seemed like the upper radiator hose would...
