[mountainlivin]

Here are some pics from our wheelin trip to Indy. Other then a tire bead popping off my wheel, and my friend's track bar bracket breaking we made it through smooth. Super Fun!

Looks like A LOT of fun!! Is that near CS? I gotta get up there! I could look at pictures of your rig all day. It's kinda like Bronco porn. I feel a little dirty looking at them. LOL! ;D

 

[mountainlivin]

LOL! You crack me up. The independence trail system is only 30 miles away from Colorado Springs in Penrose CO. I love my State ;D

There are what, 3 or 4 trails there?? Independance, Freedom, Patriot & Liberty? Haven't been down there because my EB won't handle it.....yet, but I know that each is supposedly a 9 or 10 on the 1-10 scale. The drop off into one of the trails is a minimum tow bill of $350 if you can't get out of the start. One of these days.... Those are some nice pix though.

What all did you do to mount the front axle. Did you move it forward. nice pics BTW.

 

[Mark]

I am really lovin your 'mog axles!

 

[Steve]

Love those trails. How much did you narrow your front end? Looks a lot like mine. ;D

Sbolt19 - Three trails. Patriot, Freedom, Liberty. Patriot is the CRAZY one, Freedom is the escape rout off Patriot, and Liberty is the longer less crazy one. That was my first time driving Patriot. I made my bronco into the ugly beast that it is so that one day I could try it. You won't have to pay the $350 to get out if you break. Just go with friends that will help you get out.
Mtn Gote - The front is 1 big radius arm, and it's moved forward around 1 foot.
Mark Troy - Thanks man!
Steve - My front is narrowed the typical 13-14". I think your's looks better then mine. One of these days you and I will end up wheelin together. Aren't you friends with Clint. I remember Steve G., Clint, and Joe L. mention you at the RMR summer before last. It is only a matter of time ;D
Thank you all! Isn't wheelin great? Just keeps gettin better.

Yep, know Clint, Steve G. and Joe well. We should plan a Carnage BV/Penrose weekend next summer, that would make a great weekend of wheeling. Or come over and run 21 Rd and Billings Canyon with us.

Include me in, I will come along for comic relief!;D My stock, full width rear bed is getting pretty beat up on those narrow trails.... Carnage BV has a very tight spot now that has a slight purple tinge to it.
Great pixs Brian!!!

Duuuuude! The bronco with 'Mog axles is bad ass!! How about some more pics of the rear suspension?!?! I need some ideas ;D ;D Indy looks like fun... -E

 

[FoMoCo]

I love the army bronco. It looks so mean.

 

[mountainlivin]

Duuude's you guys are way too nice. Thanks!

 

[Mtn Gote]

One Big Radius Arm. shed some light on this. pics would do it for me. Bronco looks killer. it is what I want, 'mogs, XML's. Really nice bronc

If you go on the various 4x4 websites and search for info on 1 link, grader ball, trailer ball suspension you can find lots of info. Here are a couple more pics of mine. There are pro's and con's to this type of suspension. Nice thing about the internet is that there are tons of people eager to give their .02.
