DOUBLERS?...Spareparts

[JWMcCrary]

Me, Robert, and Ed all have 37X14X15's. John Dixon has 36X13.50X15 which are actually a tad larger but I think the load rating is a little less if I remember correctly.

I'm hearing that Super Swampers are hard to get right now due to the main supplier going bankrupt. If you can find the set you want might be a good idea to grab them.

Not trying to highjack Nyles thread but im curious what gears y'all are using... I'm about to order a set of tsl sx's (if they can still be bought) in a 36 12.5 15 or 16. I was thinking of going with 4.88's and plan on using my eb on the road, in the woods etc. With a 302 and C4, do these gears sound ok with this size tire or would 4.56s be a better fit ??

 

[JWMcCrary]

I'm running 4.30, Ed has 4.56, not sure what John has, probably 4.56 but he also has NP435. With the C4 and hwy use I would do 4.56.

 

[NYLES]

C4 me and Jw both running 4.30's, Im turning almost 3k at 60 with 33's, 4.56 may be ok but I wouldnt go 4.88 if you want to run hwy speeds very much.

Thats the reason of this whole thread we wanna run em on the hwy and the rocks...best we figure is better/more options in the T case.

BTW Jake I didnt get that axle, it was BB and does me no good as a backup should I break mine.

 

[JakeAlex]

Understand. Well, I just called 4 wheel parts and they are 190s days back ordered on the tsl sx's... Seems every time I'm ready to pull the trigger something comes up.

Not a problem. My housing should be ok I think. I'm not gonna fool with 28 axles after visiting ocbr. I'm just gonna go ahead and go to 31s just in case. I'm not locked so seems like the right thing to do and I'll get lockers for the larger axles.

The wife's not to happy with me right now. She's thinkin ocbr wasn't the best place for me to have been since I now have about 3500$ worth of parts I "need" to purchase....

I just found these! procomp 37x12.50x17 Xterrain radial checks in at 36.9

Reason I keep looking at 12.5's is I run 9"wheels http://www.procomptires.com/truck-jeep-tires/xterrain-radial.aspx

 

[NYLES]

My wife dont care long as I pay my bills!!! Maybe should bring yours along she might like it! I spent that much before OCBR want that much more stuff now!

 

[NYLES]

Hey tires is easy......do your gears n axles first......tires a one day affair.....and way easier to say "baby my tires are wore out than can I have these?" as in stuff she knows nothing about!

Dont guess I need to call about them sx's!

 

[JakeAlex]

Yes the plan was to bring her and our son next year but now we have another one the way and will be too small to bring. She will come around though.

Ed great guide! I know he did at least one 5 think it was the gorge. Tell me bout your new tranny?

I have a 4r70w that will be delivered Monday that I am going to be putting a 205 behind for my blue half cab. I do not plan on driving it at OCBR again due to me pushing my limits and body damage is in my near future. All I wanted to run this year was 3's and then I started thinking I could do 4's, LOL. I am looking for a trail rig that I am going to put a 4.56's, c-4, 35/36's on it.

I really think you need to buy a second Bronco. Yours is just to pretty to let it go to the rock damage. I am guessing that your fiberglass body was not real cheap either. Oh well, maybe I am just a sissy.

You should create simple spreadsheet of the final gear ratios in all speeds of the options you are considering. It will show you if there is any overlap and gaps.
For the record I'm running C4, j-shift Cold Duck, j-shift D20, 4.11, smallish 37s.

 

[NYLES]

37 12.50 17 Looks like around $330 each ouch!

I like these bad boys!!!!!

 

[NYLES]
