I spent some time smoothing out seal seats, bearing seats, and mating surfaces on my Dana 44. I think someone used a punch and 10 pound hammer to work on this thing. Looks like they tried to stake the axle seals. 🤣 It also didn’t have outer pinion bearing shims. I guess that’s possible. Does ARB...

SOB! I guess I’m not getting my built to the hilt Dana 60s for $35. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I got the AA cable shifter kit with the Atlas TC. Well, since it’s here, I’ll make it work. If things go south I’ll go with JB. A few years back I had a JB cable shift for a 205. I never installed it because plans changed. It was a beefy product though.

I didn’t see anything about the vendors. I wonder if they’ll be somewhere for the throwback as well.

Outstanding! Thank you. This is great news!

Merry Christmas! 🎁🎄 [O===O]

I ordered an ARB locker for the front. Great Black Friday deal. Wouldn’t have known it without the reference from another Bronco owner. Very thankful.

I went with a 97 Mountaineer 5.0 with P heads. There’s nothing wrong with P heads. If your crafty, they’ll work great. I’m still in the chassis stage of my build. I had a great discussion with an Edelbrock tech yesterday. I’m putting the Ford EFI on the shelf for now and going with a Pro Flow 4.

Everyone did just fine without bead locks. 😂

Thank you Todd! This is top notch. I’ve been searching around for a video like this (with Early Broncos) for a while. There is some newer stuff but the classic footage can’t be beat IMHO. If I’m not mistaken, I think one or two of those are still around. I got some work on the Bronco this week...

Haha. “Not Light Bright Nation.” That’s hilarious. Great video. Mitch, do these comments count for the giveaway or does it have to be on the Youtubes?

Great advice and something I need to be reminded of constantly. I’ll overthink a bowl of cereal sometimes. 😂

Thanks Todd. That holds a lot of weight. I’m anxious to install them and get this thing on wheels.

Brilliant! That’s the missing link and I have yet to mock up the crossmember for the ZF5.

Thanks all. There’s no better place to bounce ideas off of professionals. As always I received tremendous help. 👍🏻

Awesome points James! I should have taken better pics of the pivot boxes. They were made with one ear on the outside of each. I’ll supply a better pic. I would have preferred two ears per box as now I’m forced to weld along the inside (welded) seam of the frame. But they may have their reasons...

Thanks Yeller! After mulling it over and help from y’all, I decided to ditch the buffer plate and proceed with the original setup in the pic. I’m not sure why the pivot boxes were made with only one ear on the outside but I’m going to roll with it.

Thank you sir. It seems like a great to solution to getting the job done while keeping as much strength in the frame as possible. And it’s possible a cross weld on a frame won’t harm anything, but when I think of the precious cargo that’ll be riding along, every bit of strength is piece of mind.

Hi all, I came across a write up regarding leaf spring hangers and welding them to a frame. Although the material pertains to a trailer, they’re are some relative practices to welding on a Bronco frame. Later in the article they review the use of a buffer plate that allows for parallel welds...

Thank you sir. I see how keeping it smooth after cleaning the axle tube would make it easier to clock the axle assembly when the time comes. That’s less to regrind and get in the way.
