Jesus I just got it on the ground today.
I havent decided yet. I think I'll do the flange adapter

So it looks like you paid to have the roller tires balanced. Is that the case?
And why don't you just move the rear axle back a few inches? It would be a more ideal wheel base and you could leave the driveshaft alone.
The tires on the rear are staying. And I don't pay for tire balancing.
Looking good Tommy.
good progress.... i will also suggest a little wb and move the axle back. better departure angle as well
As of right now I just need to get it driving. Its been on jack stands for too long and I need to get some seat time before I tear into it again. If I keep making modifications it will never be done and i'll lose motivation. The wheelbase is 105" right now.
Check my drive shaft pile, there should be one I already shortened, might work
Stretching wheelbase on broncos is easy. Grind off or torch rivits, drill new holes further back and bolt in. All done. Within 1 case of beer work.
I spent all day running brake lines. I ****ing hate running brake lines. Its all fine and dandy until you find a leak when you try to bleed it. Then you have brake fluid leaking all over your hand slipping off wrenches....**** that.
Anyway, these brakes are tits. After the 3rd time bleeding them I can lock up all 4 pretty easily.
Rti'ed it.

Driveshaft will not need to be shortened.

bad news under the rear diff cover. Good thing i'll be putting gears and bearings in there soon, these ones are probably toast. That was the worst smelling gear oil I have ever smelled.
I'm glad I didn't just check if it had fluid in it. I sprayed it all out with brake cleaner and filled it with fresh gear oil+friction modifier for the limited slip.
