    40x13.5x17 goodyear mt/r's

    I have 40/13.50x17 MTRs and like them alot I had two sets on that other thing I had before this and never had issues with them. On the road they work well and aired down they work well off road. When these were new they were 39and 1/2 inches tall on 1o inch rims with 20 lbs of air in them. They...

    Swapped intakes, now white smoke

    I think you answered your own question. White smoke generally means coolant in the combustion chamber. Did you let it run long enough to make sure it was not condensation in the muffler? Did you torque the bolts evenly and in the proper sequence? Aluminum intakes can be kinda fickle sometimes.

    d60 and 205 alingment

    I am going with a full width D60 out of an '05, C6/doubler/205. My front drive shaft angles slightly to the left. It is actually helping me clear the C6. I can see no problem with it. Those u-joints do not know the difference. I have seen some farm implements run shafts with compound angles much...

    Camber way off

    Back in the day of straight front axle and twin I beam Ford pickups, they as well as all the 4x4s were aligned by bending. There wasn't much other choice and that is how Ford said to do it. I had a '73 F100 4x4 coyote wagon that the front end had been bent up and down so many times it is a...

    $57,000 Bronco!

    5/8 x 4 1/2 grade 8 flange bolts- $4.73 each x 6= $28.38 5/8 grade 8 flange nuts- $2.65 each x 6 = $15.90 Add tax and then I guess you could probably buy a gallon of gas with whats left.

    $57,000 Bronco!

    Even doing it yourself, it is so easy to rack up the dollars quickly in any kind of build. I throw away all my receipts partly because I don't want to know, and partly to keep them from the wife. Go to the hardware store and buy new grade 8 bolts for the rear spring hangers and see if it doesn't...

    Isn't there a voltage regulator behind the dash that when it goes bad, it causes the gauges to peg out?

    We Think alike on the overkill. On my lower tube I interference fit a peice of 1 3/4, 1/4 inch wall inside it. If I bend that, I will have had fun that day!!:-[

    DOM Radius arms

    Hey R.C. Your radius arms look great! I am thinking you didnt want to carry them around the shop much! LOL. On mine I have 40" MTR's on 10" wheels with 4 1/4 inches of back space and clear the arms easily. Looks great!;D

    Hub Help...

    Can you get a three jaw puller in there? I have had them get a bit of rust on the splines and not come out. I drilled and tapped two holes on either side and then used a harmonic balancer puller to pull it out. Caused no problems. Was then able to dress everything up with a wire wheel.

    Ever used Seafoam in your Bronco?

    I have a jet boat with a 514 c.i. Ford in the back. I was out saying "Watch this" with a semi cold engine one day and sank it. After I pumped all the water out of the engine and fuel tank I was having trouble getting all the remaining water out. I put about a half a cup in the crankcase and two...

    why is a 35x12.5-17 fifty bucks more than a 35x12.5-15??

    Why do they charge more for a 17? Because they can. How many new pickups come with 17's?

    Hard Top swapping

    I do not know where you are at, but I have a hardtop for a 74 you can have if you want to come get it. Nothing wrong with it just want to get it out of my way.

    Track bar No.1 Critique please

    I am pretty sure I could bend something heavier as long as I wasn't trying to do a 90 degree bend. I have room to put a gusset across the lower bend but the top bend is way to close to the end. I am thinking it would rip the mount off of the frame before it will bend the top one! Probably...

    Track bar No.1 Critique please

    Okay. The front end is a d60 out of a 2005 superduty, that is why I changed the track bar. The tubing is 1.50 x.250 wall. There are two 30 degree bends. The angle of the draglink and the angle of the mounting points of the track bar is the same. If I went with a straight track bar, just before...

    Track bar No.1 Critique please

    I am truing to male it so the track bar stays out of the way of the diff. housing. Is there any reason this won't work? The straight line angles of the track bar and the draglink are the same. The draglink is a couple of inches longer than the track bar but am hoping a ram-assist will tace care...

    Track Bar Question

    This all makes sense. Thinking about it all gives me a headache, though! LOL. The thing to do probably is to put a bend around the housing for clearance. Thanks for all the help, Guys!!
