i would just get some steelies, aluminum is going to be hard to paint and you also have a whole lot easier chance on bending them on the trail.

are you free saturday? if so you should come on this run and meet everyone and have a blast

what time saturday? and what trail are you guys going to run?
do you think my jeep can take the trail its pretty much stock with a ton of miles on the motor

slcxj

Ya didn't mean to put thirty five obviously wouldn't have worked out so well

slcxj

Mine is fine my buddies was all torn apart when he got his jeep so instead of trying to buy parts and put his back together. We are just throwing a high pinion D30 in.

Little Moab, its got a little of everything mild to wild. Its a good place to test out your rig. We're meeting at 10:30 at the crossroads in Saratoga Springs. You should try to make it out.

ford rangers, bronco II's and explorer's had a front 35, and some were even HP

slcxj

Haha so when will you be swaping that out for me?

X1994J

He said axle... TTB is more of a suspension than an axle... that's my argument anyway.

I used to own one of these... it was sick! 90 Bronco II, had a sweet D35 front! And yes, I broke it. I even lifted it and put 32's on it! I'm going to find a pic of it.. i'll be back.... you won't be disappointed.

AAAHHHHHH........... check this baby out. Paid 400 bucks for her. LIfted her 6 inches. 8.8 limited slip rear. AC worked. Had a dog of a 2.9 V6. Wouldn't do 65.

Here she is stock on 32's...


And.. TA DA!!!! SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


You guys are jealous. I'm still trying to decide if I upgraded or down graded when I went to the XJ....

you will need some coil compressors, jack stands and hand tools. A air compressor will make it like 10 times faster but not needed. you can go to the parts store and rent the compressors for the coils or just buy some.... should start hitting all of the bolts with bp blaster a couple of days before. I got pretty good at it on my last jeep i can do it in about 30 min start to finish... good luck.

this kid I work with at my second job has a pretty nice {for a ford if that is possible.....} bronco II for sale locked front and year i think he only wants like $1200 not bad, I would never drive it but, hay people are crazy.
