hoorah, it's my b-day :D and happy birthdy to other members with the greatest birthday ever

ok, so after a little bit of searching around and looking at different rigs... it doesn't seem like there are too many advantages/disadvantages to either rear axle, just mostly preference or cost/availability. What I'm wanting to know is if there are any subtle differences in the axles...

Welllll, since I've got almost everything ready to go, I figured I'd start a thread about the build up/swap... First things first: 1978 Ford Bronco Dana 44 stock radius arms...will probably heim joint them Master overhaul kit (broncograveyard) Yukon gear 5.13 R&P (broncograveyard) 7* C...

Has anyone else got an Aussie Locker in their rear axle? I've read and done alot of research, and they seem like real quality lockers. I'll write up a report after I get it installed. I'm Stoked!! :D

This is a useless post, but it is my first ELITE post! I'm stoked!!! :D Thanks Rick. I just wanna throw out there that this site is awesome, and filled with great info, and great people! Now, time to figure out what all I can do with this new status. :D

okay, in the past few weeks, my explorers front end has kind of taken a turn for the worse. All these problems are strange, and I can't find a reason behind them. Any info on what may be wrong would be greatly appreciated. Problem 1: The u-joint, knuckle, whatever you want to call it, in...

Is there any reason why I couldn't use 66-77 coils on a 78-79 bronco? I know they're different, but couldn't I just make some mounting modifications to fit them? I will be going full width sa, and I am planning on buying offroad_69_me's coils that he has. Any imput? Will they work? Thank you.

well, my A4LD died for the 3rd time in 8 months, so, it's outta there. my question is, which of these transmissions would be the best and easiest to put in the ex instead of the A4LD? TRS has some info on it, but it is very unclear, and everyone around here is putting in the 7004e or something...

What is the distance between frame rails on my '94 Explorer? I looked around to no avail. Thank you [ooops, sorry, should have posted in general explorations]

Where can I get camber shims? Anybody know? Of course, the ttb is out of allignment, and would like to have it alligned a bit better than its current state. :)

Anybody heard about the biggest quake in world history since the past 40 yrs? The tsunami was enormous and has killed tens od thousands of people. Hopefully they get things back to normal in not too long. I have a bad feeling that disease is going to spread now. I hope the death toll doesn't...

I have searched for a while and have come up with no definite answers, so, what is the difference and more than that, what do these terms mean? I would assume something with the r&p maybe? And also, why would either be better than the other? Thanks, Ryhan

So I went to 2 haunted houses w/ my girlfriend last night and all is well until coming home last night. I was going fine, then I noticed that my explorer wasn't accelerating very well and was trying to shift down to get more power. Well I got down to about 50 mph on the highway , and then all...

Well, I just got my FREE grille guard from my neighbor, and am in the process of blasting it down right now, then I will prime and paint it. 1 question though-- should I paint is with gloss or flat??

Okay, I have the Trailmaster 4" and I don't think it is tall enough. Sooooooo.... Can I do an SOA in the back WITH the 4" lift leaf springs??? Also, where can I get coils that are that long for the front? That would be like 9" of lift right? What would need to be done with the bracketry up...

I would like to apply Herculiner to my rockers and eventually my custom bumpers. Do you have to sand down to bare metal, or can you apply over paint? Thaks, Ryan
