How to hold my axle in place...getto style?

[broncomitch]

I broke the brackets for my track bar on the bronco...

I tryed to ratchet strap from the frame to the axle on one side and the opposite on the other side..
It broke the straps when I turned the wheel..I can't find my 20k straps so I only have small ones..

Just need to get it on a trailer and a short trailer ride over to sixb's.
I can just back the trailer up to the bronco but will need to turn the wheel if nessary to get it on there.

Any idea's?

I had the same problem once, as we went up the trailer we kicked the tires real hard to keep it going straight.. was a little work, but it went on.
I have also used chain/comealong to the frame in the past to move short distance
Good luck!

if you want to help me lift my welder into my truck i could bring it over to you, if that would help at all

This is how I had to get off a trail (back to the trailer) once due to a trak-bar break. I hope I don't get flamed for this picture, it was before i knew what a good fabricator did :busted:

Two chains, making an X from each framerail?

That's really nice of ya!

Is it 110? I dont have a 220 hook up..

I think I can do the chains when we pick it up if needs be...
just alot of work to chain up the axle..take them off and chain up bronco then start over to get it off the trailer...and with the bronco being so low it's pretty tight under there. Lol
Gotta do what ya gotta do.

Jumper cables and a stick welding rod. 1/32 1166 works good. For trail repairs

its 220V, i could bring by some of my bigger ratchet straps if you want also, i have a good amount of extensions cord, if your dryer is close enough, i have a 3prong 220-4 prong 220 cord

that's how I'd do it

No sense in welding crap on just to cut it back off. Just borrow a couple big ratchet straps and make an x with them like was said.


At least thats what i would do

2 ratchet straps $12 each cal ranch.

Tie your bronco to the trailer later.

Skip the drama.

Well we got it on there..had a heck of a time tho..
We just backed the trailer up to it and winched it up and ratchet strapped the holy crap out of the axle.

Thanks for all the input!
