1-Ton of fun

Need to go up to my shop and fix a tire, one has a screw in it, and other then that the bronco should be ready for the dunes tomorrow.

Made it so it would fit under the top.

The height of the cage is a good 4-5"s above my boy head when he sits in his booster seat in the rear.


So the Bronc is up to par now, need to get the mbrp downpipe on my diesel and the 4" kit I am gonna put together. Mount one shock on the truggy and install the drive flanges whenever they show up and that will be ready for next weekend.

So I called the company I ordered my flanges from and was like WTF, I ordered them on the 11th and they shipped the same day as they say.

Well got the tracking number and sure shit, they shipped on the 11th, ups shows picking them up at 5:56pm and that was the last record of them. Nothing since then, they are lost between here and Texas apperently.

So no word back on UPS, so I talked with the company of the flanges Thurs morning and they were gonna send me another set out. I asked if I paid the overnight charges if they would send them that way. That way I could have them for tomorrows outing. So I did paid them $60 to overnight at 9am Thursday....................I still don't have them .

Yeah I got them on Monday.....suppose to be overnighted from Thursday morning.

So I go to install the flanges...

Install puck into hub, install snap ring, go to install Alan bolt through the cover and it does not fit. Hole in the cover is drilled to small. The hole is also countersunk on the cover. So I Redrill the cover so the Alan bolt fits through and then redrill the countersunk so it sits inside the cover. Go to install the cover and the four bolt holes in the cover do not line up with the 4 holes in the flange. Grab the unmolested cover and compare that to the flanges and same thing the cover holes do not match the flanges holes.

I finally called them yesterday afternoon. Turns out it is the covers themselves that are bad. And they are now out of stock, not sure when they will get more, but as soon as they do I will get new covers.

Furthermore the guy said he questioned mine in the first place but wanted to get me something out asap due to the first set going MIA, so he sent them anyways.

The Slugs are drilled with a 1 7/8 square bolt patter and the covers are drilled 2" square and to small of holes as well.

So i am running the slugs only, no covers. Which means no mud or my bearings are toast since they are not sealed.

So turns out the damage to the LR door has made it so I can not close the LF door lol.

And at some point the LF tire hit the fender/core support so hard it broke the core support on the left side where it attaches to the frame mount.

I have a sept run to Drummond Island, after that its time to rebuild a new rig lol.
