    I have a 1" WH body lift and built a tunnel cover similar to the one EBP72 has/made. It works great although mine is back apart for other reasons.

    Bring Back Bronco podcast

    I'm just listening to the third episode now. The first one has a segment with James Duff, and this one talks to Jeff form Jeffs Bronco Graveyard. I looked around on here I'm surprised no one that I could find has mentioned it. I guess it is on a bunch of other podcast sites as well. James

    WH Degreed vs stock rubber strut arm bushings

    I ran a set of the WH degreed rubber bushings on my '70 for about six months before I tore one in Moab. I replaced them with poly ones and never had an issue. Running Busted Knuckle Arms now. I don't think it was a bad product or anything. I would argue that the poly bushings are more durable...

    Body Bushings! HOW THE CRAP... (Update: need more washers!))

    Completely off topic, but I wanted to give thumbs up for the Alice's Restaurant reference in the very first post.:D I agree replacing the original Bronco body bushings is a right of passage into true Bronco ownership. James

    WH Trac Bar Riser install questions

    I installed my WH riser bracket a couple of weeks back. It took a little time to test fit, but once you get it set it is great. Just follow the advice WH posted on here and you shouldn't have a problem. James

    Dana 44 Disc Conversion

    I just installed the disc brake conversion from Horsepower sales on Ebay. I think is very similar if not the same as the Toms kit. I didn't have to grind my knuckles at all, but even if you have to it should be very minor. If you are familiar with working on the front axle (ie replaced the wheel...

    Anyone running Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac Tires?

    I have a set on my Ranger. They have 12,000 miles on them (pavement and oil/gas well roads) and still look like new. They are good in mud, snow and ice, (much better than my old Toyo ATs). I've noticed many of the oil field cotractors in this area (Western Colorado) running these tires as well...

    Too tall? UPDATED PHOTOS - 5 1/2 inch wild horses lift on uncut bronco

    Just a question, but why did you go to the trouble of replacing the rear quarter cut outs if you are just wanting to lift it enough to fit 33's? James
