new tires

and rims


I want to make this a truck that i can wheel all day and drive home. I won't go any bigger than 35's because the axles really can't handle it.

Nice, is that bumper prefab or custom?

a guy from fullsizebronco.com built it for me. I designed it and he built it.

The neon seats kick ass that's what I have in my trail rig.

Yeah, i found them in a junkyard already pulled from the car. I got them for $20 each

That definitely needs to be on this page more than once. :gigem:

Hell, I may quote it again later just for ****s and giggles. :flipoff2:

Nice truck. Did the fenders rust away or were they cut?

they rusted away and then i cut them

1. Fix all the broken crap
-front driver u-joint
-front axle seals (i'll need help with this, i have no idea what to do here)
-new brake drums
-re bed-line interior
-heater
-new hubs, warn premiums
2. bodywork including:
-installing quarters
-cheap paint, all white
3. Full cage
4. 3g alt and optima 6 pack battey
5. winch
6. rear bumper with spare tire and hi-lift carrier
7. Detroit or arb rear locker
8. limited slip front
9. rock sliders

I have heard nothing but bad about the ARB's for the 9in.

Are there any good selectables for the 9inch?

what do you hear about 9" arbs?

There are many threads on FSB about them breaking. Hasn't Ryan had quite a few problems too?


I would suggest a full Detroit if still DD it, or a Spool if it becomes a toy.

i had a lot of trouble with my d-30 and amc-20 arb. Don't have one now. Spool in the 9" and welded d-44.

how did you break your driver u-joint with a busted hub?

good question.

my hubs aren't broken?

the driver side sure as hell was. remember being in only 2wd on bats ferry?

Here's the result of the whole bat's ferry affair round 3

I am still trying to find the pictures of it stuck.

Cool rig. I see your future... it's filled with... dented body panels... and a few broken windows. :)

bite the bullet, loose the top, dovetail front and rear, break out the sawzall and make it look like brians.... then cut it up and part it out. thats what happens to broncos in this club alot of the time. right clarke and frick

Haha... Every hub I've dicked with besides spicer originals have the ability to come apart internally and not work. Its happened to me a couple of times on the trail. Not really a big deal but a PITA. I havent ever bought a new set of hubs though, I'm on my third or fourth set of hand-me-down 30 spliners so take that for what its worth.

kopecki found a way to keep this from happening!

I am beginning to think that these new quarters aren't a good idea. I have not skills to put them on myself and the pros want over $1000 to do it.

What do you guys think about some bushwacker cutouts? I need to cover up the rust somehow

Break out the hacksaw/sawzall!!!

If you decide to sell the quarters pm me a price. I would defiantely be interested in them for my restoration/ cruiser truck. Also check out the thread big nasty on here to see what you truck would look like with a narrowed front end.

I don't like fender flairs, seems like something extra to get ripped off

Dont narrow or cut anything, keep it clean!! ;)

and put a muffler delete on it!

And then sell it and buy a chick car!

you trying to tell me that when you turn the key, there isnt a moment of pleading or prayer hoping that nothing is fawked up?

you can't knock the jetta, it's my money maker. it's like an old broad with money... there is good reason to "ride it" even if it is a little embarrassing to show off!

That's a moped.

there's a problem with your money maker ideology. your jetta cant serve any other purposes, much like a washed up crack whore. :flipoff2:
