Is there anybody that is close to the Palm Springs area in So Cal that has either Cage or Duff Radius arms? I am thinking about purchasing a set and would like to see what they look like in person.

Thanks

I am thinking about them as well. Thats kinda why i would like to see the difference. Not sure about the angle in the Cage arms if it allows more steering or if they allow more ground clearance.

cage and duff do allow for a bit more turning, i rub on my arms once in a blue moon. duff/cage is also off the ground a few more inches. i just like WCB's dual tube design better. personal preference probably.

Anyone? How about a measurement as to where the rear mounting bracket goes. I am soon going to be making a new transmission crossmember and do not any issues in the future.

if you're up there why not look at Dusty's? i have the WCB arms and love them!

Dusty's?? Did he design the ones at WCB? They look cool but there not for me, and I've never seen them in action like I have the CAGE arms (my choice).

How far from Mexico......I mean Bakersfield are you? Tito has a set of CAGE arms on his Bronco.

Hey All-
I have a buddy looking for a Bronco, he doesn't know squat and wants something that doesn't need to be worked on and is a serious buyer.

anyway, i found this one in Santa Barbara built by WCB... anyone familiar with it? it's a long drive, and weas hoping to know more about it from an un-bias source ;)

That one was apparently done before my involvement with WCB, as I don’t recognize it. So I don’t know anything specifically about it. But it appears to be a typical WCB build with most of the best WCB mods. I think that’s a great price for it. You wouldn’t be able to build one similar to that for anything near that price. It needs a fan shroud though.

Hey Dusty,
Are you still with WCB?

Sorry to hear about the departure. I hope everything is going better.

Thanks Bill but there’s nothing to be sorry about. Just a change of direction.

Do you have more time to wheel now?

So far, no. I’ve been pretty swamped with work. We also had a litter of puppies this summer so that killed most recreation opportunities. Plus we just bought a new place (closes today) which has taken up a lot of time. On top of all that I’ve been struggling with some back problems. And the Broncos haven’t received much attention for the same reasons. So we haven’t gotten out much lately. I still dream of someday getting back out on the trail though.
