    Wheel and tire backspacing question

    Thanks guys, the front fenders are not cut but plan to later down the road. This rig sees mostly road use but it's also my hunting rig and does go places she probably shouldn't go. When I'm hunting on a friends land we drive as close to the prize instead of dragging the prize to the truck. More...

    Wheel and tire backspacing question

    I'm sure this question has been beat to death, I did a bit of a search in the forum and couldn't find the exact answer I was looking for, so here we go. I have a 1974 Bronco with a 2 1/2" suspension lift, front disk brake conversion, and rear fenders are cut, I plan to install a 33X12.5R15 tire...

    Winch muscle, how much is really necessary

    Thanks everyone for your responses, once again this forum has proven to be very valuable. As I figured, 8000 - 9500 is going to be suffecient, if not, mechanical leverage via snatch block will do the job. Thanks again

    Winch muscle, how much is really necessary

    I've been looking at installing a winch on my 74, it see's occasional offroading and I'm looking at more of a piece of mind when I go wheeling by myself. Already done a bunch of reading on brands so not looking for help in that area, what I'm more curious about is how BIG do I need to go...

    Non-Highway tires

    Awesome help guys, I love this forum, always get what I'm looking for. Well you talked me into a real aggressive set of mud tires. This way I can still jump on the highway when necessary to get to the next hunting spot so we can use it to get someone else's deer out if we want. Thanks again.

    Non-Highway tires

    Well, I did a little digging and couldn't find anyone silly enough to mount a tractor type of tire on their EB, I'm sure it's been done but looking for someone that's figured out the best configuration. What I'm wanting to do is buy dedicated set of rims and a set of tractor style tires for...

    Long tube header install

    To answer tmaddux911 question I've installed headers in several different models of cars and trucks except an early Bronco and all models are different, some go right in others you can get away with rocking the engine one way or the other to wiggle them in, some the motor has to come out. Was...

    Long tube header install

    Have a silly question, I have a 1974 with a 302 I'm considering installing long tube headers, the question is has anyone attempted an install without pulling the motor. If the enigine has to come out I may wait until I freshen up the engine. Thanks

    Radiator

    The radiator in question is an aluminum two core that cools very efficiently, as far as body mounts go, it's all stock, in other words junk. My Bronco spends most it's life on the road but does occasional off-road duty. The most logical answer is flex and vibration, flex I might tie the lower...

    Radiator

    I'm on my third, going on forth aluminum radiator in the past five years. I bought this radiator from one of our repreable Bronco parts distributors, the manufacture has graciously replaced the first two, they have decided to cut ties with me and promised to send me their selling price. They...

    Clutch fan mod

    Clearance issue Rounded up the fan and clutch but ran into a clearance issue, I'm running an aluminum radiator which only allows me 2 1/2" clearance, the clutch and fan require 3". Pretty sure I can gain 3/4" with some creative modifications but I'm considering going back to the stock brass V8...

    Clutch fan mod

    There was a thread on this wonderful forum a few years back on what P/N's were required to replace your solid mounted flex fan for a clutch fan setup. I wrote down the part numbers and cannot find it anywhere. Can someone help an unorganized 1974 Bronco daily driver out please, tired of driving...

    Dimensions, anyone have them?

    My 1974 Bronco sheet metal is basically beyond repair. Planning to build a all new tub (bronco in a box) from one of the big Bronco parts distributors. Looking for someone who's put on paper the actual frame dimensions in order to build a jig so I can keep the old girl on the road while...

    2.5 lift install question

    Thanks guys, I plan to do exactly what you both recommend. Something I didn't tell you is the vibration only seems to be noticeable around 30 mph then fades away as you go faster. The driveshaft was totally rebuilt a year ago but will verify its health, true pinion angle, and spline contact...
