My Bronco 2

If the nuts are the same for all those axles then finding them shouldnt be to hard to find. If they were limited to just the TTB D35 then you could be a bit screwed (no puns intended).

Yeah they are dime a dozen. Well more correctly about $8 a pair.

 

[TimR]

they are different size for the 35, than the 28.

yeah i can get those cheap-ish, even at ford.. i asked about them today while there.

so, what's the thoughts on this steering?
http://www.therangerstation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=83547

looks to be a lot like the v8 zj steering. i still think i'd be better off using the modified k link setup. i gotta find a superrunner cheap.

so i think i wanna go w/
skyjacker brackets --may look at the templates and see what it takes to make them! lol
6 inch xj coils
superrunner steering
extend the factory RA's
custom quick disconnects (DD, i want a swaybar!)
extended brake lines
gears (4.10's for now probably)
stock hubs (for now, if i break them--i'll upgrade)
leave the diff open for now (money reasons)


anything i forget?? any input in better or just as good but cheaper??


also, is there anywhere on here that tells what gear for the speed sensor you use for gear ratio and tire size? i gotta replace my drive and driven gear. need to which one to get for 4.10's and 30's (for now). the one in the t/case is the same no matter what, so i'll just have to replace the speedsensor gear when i get 33's.

edit: nevermind. doesn't tell me what gear to use on the VSS tho...


edit2: looks like i'll need a 20 tooth gear on the sensor

Not here. But when I do see them, they somehow end up in my pocket.

no idea how that happens huh?

 

[dangerranger83]

Samething happened with my t-handle shift knob that I have.

 

[4.0B2]

need 760 u joints...

that's a reminder for me! lol

These:

They are the same for D35 TTB, D44TTB and SA D44's

To get the on/off you will need one of these, any parts store will have one:

I need one of those sockets! Does vatozone carry em'?

 

[4.0B2]

mine does yeah

went back to Ford today. those old guys are great... i couldn't get away from them.. all of them had questions. best one that was asked, "why a b2? why on earth did you start w/ a b2?" my reply, it was all i had at the time and i love it!.. simple enough right? lol

the lady in parts wanted to argue w/ me about what t/case was in my truck even after telling her i did the explorer swap. doesn't matter, the VSS is the same anyways!!! but whatever lol. got me a driven gear for the VSS, hopefully it'll help correct my OD shifting issue and help correct my speedometer for the 4.10 gears that are coming soon. just ordered some f250 shock towers... have them in soon. hopefully i get my xj coils tonight. buddy of mine is giving me some 6" lift coils for free i think, i hope! i still gotta get my hands on some hubs and 4.10 gears and superrunner steering. keep an eye out for me!!

 

[dangerranger83]

They think they know everything until you pop the hood and prove them wrong. I have to get EB shock towers due to Im running stud top shocks, need to check on the price for them.

Oh ya PM sent back.

if your changing shock towers why wouldnt you change the shocks at the same time? its like another 50$ (ish) for far better gain. top stud shocks suck...

 

[4.0B2]

I wanna do the longest best option lol. Idk what brand tho

Got my coils today. I'll take a pic for y'all later. I know how y'all need pics to survive or something lol
