What have you done to your Bronco today? (v.2)

[D&D72]

Hmmm. Can't upload a video for some reason.
At any rate my 5.0 is finally running. Next up is exhaust.

About time.

Thanks for all the help and support Neighbor.

Big thanks to Phil for helping me with this project !

Yesterday I finished installing my ARB twin compressor system.

We relocated it from underneath the truck to the under-side of the rear seat. We made some brackets and welded them to seat frame and mounted the compressor to the bracket.

We also mounted a big ass air tank where the auxiliary fuel tank normally resides. 10" diameter by 30" long.

Unfortunately, after all that work, I found out that one of the compressors isn't working so I have to remove it for repair / replacelement.

We need pics!! I would like to add a supply of air to my system, but I run the York. In hindsight I would have made an effort to make my rock sliders air tight! I love dual purposing!

Drove it this morning with the recently connected seat heaters set on high............great upgrade !

I want a set of these! Anyone know of a set of 87-93 Mustang seats let me know. I can send you Paypal if you pick them up for me.

Found a clean set on eBay for $400 shipped. ThatΓÇÖs a good price according to Rox Crusher. Thinking about a parchment vinyl and cloth re-upholster with seat heaters because theyΓÇÖre for the 76ΓÇÖ.

[Kinder]

$400 seems to be the going rate for those seats, a local mustang shop had a set a while back and that was the price.

I will get pics posted when I return from work Trip. Meanwhile, ARB tech support said it is likely a sheared crankcase bolt or bad thermal sensor. Gotta tear it apart and around.

Still collecting parts for my 60-9 build and install. 3 link components procured during Columbus day sales. The single rod end is a 3/4"x3/4" for comparison.

[Eck]

Installed the tailgate silencer kit from Wild Horses. Definitely makes a big difference.

Some beef showed up today! Gotta order a custom right side inner to get my wms where I want it but I pretty much have everything needed to build my 60-9 now! 35 spline inner and outer with super joints. Pictures are side by side with chromoly Bronco Dana 44 axles and super joint.

[Jesus_man]

Will those still slide out of the knuckles? Beefy for sure!!

Since I'm using Dana 60 knuckles they will. Just barely so IF something breaks it'll be fun to pull apart.

[Jesus_man]

I suspect you'll have other issues if you do something to break those!

[Kinder]

Just the numbers, 609, are magical!

[Strike2]

Those are indeed some additional "beef" over the D/44. are you doing your own build thread process on them?

Sure! I'm planning on building it next month and installing it with a new 3 link and coilovers in January. I'll post a new thread when I get there.

[Strike2]

Nice, I'll be following that thread

[crawlercreations]

More goodies for my Bronco today. Wheels! I also picked up some new knuckles that are machined for high steer arms and includes a high steer arm. Coming up soon is a hi9 3rd for the front. Project is a little delayed but I've also got a fabricated housing for the rear and strange nodular 3rd for it. 35 spline shafts will be on the way for it soon, too. Going to have spider 9s front and rear, all 35 spline. I can't wait!

That rim is , whatΓÇÖs the engineering behind the design of the bead lock?

The segments just allow you to replace any segments that get damaged. Realistically the tire seals on the inside on the bead rather than the outside of the bead like a traditional, non beadlock wheel. I think they mostly did the segments to stand out from the rest.

[Jesus_man]

Enough wheeling and all those segments will be rashed. But I also think this comes down to manufacturing. To make a ring, you have to have a nice big piece which ends up with a lot of waste. This way, you don't!

I think you you should anodize two red, two white, & two blue...

[crawlercreations]

Ongoing Christmas for myself it seems!

[Jesus_man]

!!!

I put a new signal flasher in today. Thinking the old one had an intermittent problem.

ThatΓÇÖs one nice Christmas present! Love those rims too I just missed the post by 20 minutes

[crawlercreations]

Final piece of the puzzle came in today!

[BOBS 2 68S]

Installed all new power steering, hydra-boost brakes and collapsible steering shaft.
HOLY C&%P! those brakes are amazing.
I have been driving a Bronco for almost 40 years and I will have relearn how to drive it with all the power assist .

[Jesus_man]

Awesome upgrades!! I am so tempted to do hydroboost, but for now, it's a luxury and there are things before it.

[Rox Crusher]

Today I relocated my power steering reservoir from the firewall to the power steering pump bracket.

The pump was starving for fluid under certain conditions, especially if the Bronco was nose up.

I still want to get it up a bit higher to improve the return flow from the reservoir to the pump but it is already working better then previous arrangement.

[Jesus_man]

That's a great idea. I ended up putting an extension plate on my inner fender and mounting my res on that. I'll have to look again, but I don't think I can do what you did as I believe my York resides there. Although...there are 4 threaded holes in the york...
