    Funny stories of how you got a bronco

    I found mine for sale in Brighton, Colorado in 2009 for $2k. The seller called me a day Before I was supposed to pick it up and said he decided not to sell it. Then the next week my wife surprised me at my 40th birthday party and had the Bronco key sticking out of my birthday cake. Then 3...

    Hot hub after replacing bearings

    I just replaced bearings and races on my front end and noticed one of my hubs is really hot after driving. I packed the bearings and thought I got them really good, but I didn’t pack the spindle bearing…did that one need to be packed also? Only other thing it might be is a brake pad dragging a...

    New ball joints and bearings, now steering won’t return to center.

    Looking for some pointers, here’s what I know. I just replaced ball joints and bearings on my d44 front end and it’s driving funky…won’t return to center after turning a corner. 1. preload on the upper ball joint adjustment set to 20 ft lbs and measured 25lb resistance on knuckles prior to...

    Vibration on deceleration?

    Thx - I better get the driveshaft shortened and balanced the more I think about it any bump or compression could tear stuff up.

    Vibration on deceleration?

    everything I’ve read says they should be the same, but or very close, but it must have been just enough to create a problem.

    Vibration on deceleration?

    Hey y’all - just did an AX15 conversion from an NP435. Test run…man this baby shifts so smooth and easy! When I get to highway speed, I noticed a vibration on deceleration…so when shifting between 4th and 5th that moment when it decelerates slightly I get vibration. The vibration goes away on...

    New bronco wave?

    I’m simple, if I like their ride I’ll give a wave…this mostly includes classic hot rods or beaters, any vehicle older than 1980. I do think it’s funny when you see these kids posting up and talking about their “build”, ”nice build”, “finished my build” etc. and it consists of dropping their car...

    1 inch body lift complications

    I think I had to install a longer clutch rod under the pedal when I did the body lift…I upgraded to power steering when I added the body lift so can’t say what your impact will be but it might require some adjustment work or a new ujoint to help resolve the new length/angle.

    Reinforcement for various Body sections

    You’re right about the hood, there’s areas that are prone to cracking on the outside Edges along each fender. If I remember correctly one possible fix for this is to bond in a square rod inside the folded edge along the underside for the length of these areas. I think maybe a 1/2” aluminum or...
