My Bronco 2

[Robert_1967]

And maybe put some blue strobes I have in the grille just bc I can. They are the led wig wag strobes. Don't hook into the headlights or anything like that.

I vote "No" on the blue strobes, I don't know about MS, but here in Tn. they are a no-no, unless your a illegal alien, the it must be "OK".

I had one try to pull me over with those blue strobes, he found out real quick not to mess with a Tn. Hillbilly redneck.

Also it was on the News a few years ago a guy was using them to pull women over to rape them, I don't know if he got caught or not.

But any how, I don't think you should put Blue Strobes on the BII.

id put them in but just dont be a moron with them. flick em on at shows etc... i had green ones all through my ranger inside and out

I'm sure you can find better use of the lights and your time.

I had the lights for 2 years and never installed them... Bc they ain't very useful, I just figured why not install them instead having them under my driver seat for so long. And yes they are illegal.. Doesn't mean I'd use them on road. That was last on my list for a reason tho..

 

[kroussinoffroad]

sell them and use the money to buy a couple candybar's,

candy bar's are more appealing to me than strobe's anyday.
strobe's make me think somone spent way too much time in walmart.

I got my cb mounted today. Just did it on the dash light my 2meter. Didn't fit like I thought it would in the ash tray location. It would fit but didn't have room for coax and all behind it without it sticking out to far. Oh well.

Now to find a place for that firestik when it comes in...

Didn't work on the sub box. Decided there was no point in making a sub box I wouldn't use long... Bc I want the other box

so here's my update on the truck...

got coils coming for the sas, thanks to escort_gts.
that is all for the sas process update lol


I think my VSS is giving me fits again, overdrive is messing up. last time it was the plastic gear on the vss in the t/case. i replaced it, but when the gear in the t/case itself is bad, it messes up the gear on the vss.. i need to tear down a t/case and replace it-- but i wanna find a 1354M... i'm gonna pull the vss tomorrow and look

now- the gas mileage- i had to go to senatobia tonight, my g/f got rushed to the ER b/c she had a bad asthma attack. a tank of mixed highway and city... cruise set on 80... i got 17.1 on that tank. its down bad... i was getting about 19.5ish on a tank of mixed.

check the obvious before you assume something is wrong causing bad gas milage.

:tire pressure will change from summer to winter, unless your runnin nitrogen but even
then it can find it's way out.
:tune up part's will affect mpg's. expecially air filter
:i forgot to unlock my hub's when It was still ttb and I burned thru a tank of gas in no time.
:wheel bearings due for a good packing?

tire pressure was checked a couple weeks ago... will check again tho.
tune up-- might be due? idk... gotta look in my book. air filter is k&n that fits in factory location, need to clean it probably.
i have auto hubs
wheel bearings...well.... probably but hopefully that axle is out in the next 2 months

now go to your build thread and find me that pic!

 

[kroussinoffroad]

pic's are posted.

with using this for a DD the 1 thing i would do for sure is find bushing's to use instead of heim's just for longer life. i tried to find some for a min or two but just decided that i'm o.k. with replacing them every year if i haveto

 

[4.0B2]

bushing for??? the axle side of the arms? or on the steering?

wait... steering is TRE's instead of heims. i plan on using the v8 zj steering w/ tre's for now

 

[4.0B2]

ok w/ all the research i've done today this is what i'm thinking

track bar bracket

long arms
rusty's high clearance- see them on jeeps locally and love them.

unless i can find what ruff stuff has to offer... i like ruff stuff so far so..
edit (for my own list purpose): http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/CHLB.html

coils are deaver's i believe. bought them used from escort.

track bar, idk yet... don't have a clue what length i need. can i use the stock track bar location of my d30??

 

[kroussinoffroad]

bushing's for the trac bar.i ended up using the spot for the steering dampener I belive but i'm not 100% sure on that. bottom line is i use a factory made mount on the dana30 for the trac-bar

so $43 for the pair instead of $22 a piece.. that works.

and i was trying to keep the steering damper open, b/c i have one.. lol. figured i might as well use it. but if the track bar needs to go there then who cares.

i think i'm getting the hang of the sas process now.. even tho i aint done one yet. my main concern is getting the axle placed right so everything is square where it needs to be.. and tips?
