    Well today I noticed this gouging in the right axel end. It's not where the bearing seats but the lock ring I think. There's no damage to either the old bearing or lock ring, is this gonna be an issue, is it fixable? Im thinking the axel retainer was loose at some point, not sure. Thanks

    Thanks everybody! It's been in the family from "day one", so to speak. There were 3 previous owners before myself. The original purchaser passed, then left to grandpa, he passed. Was then left to my uncle which I was reluctant to aquire after it sitting in his garage tucked away 15yrs! That's...

    Hello everyone, Just want to start a thread on the bronco that's been in the family from day one. I remember these broncos when I was a kid, (5yrs old roughly) riding in the dunes with the family, lots of memories. I want to make it awesome again so I can pass those experiences to my son and...
