Glad to see your moving along!

That 1350 flange isn't going to work for me as is, but I'm just going to drop if off with carl and have him turn it down.

So it will work... ;)

Glad it will work for you.
starting off I was thinking, good heck it's the cursed of the flange that won't work for anyone. Lol

slowly but surely I'll get this thing done.
It's going to be really close financially and probably can't even afford to do a test run before Moab....

Got some stuff finished tonight..

finished the skid plate, mounted and plumed tranny cooler, extended the fill cap on the powersteering/hydro pump, mounted the new high flow steering cooler, and started replacing the return lines with better hoses.

Okay, awesome news and cinda bad news.


I traded my 16" air shocks for 14" air shocks then traded for some 16" coil overs!

That's the awesome news,


But the cinda bad is I need to cut my air bump mounts off cus there is no room em with the coil overs but I'll just put them in the rear..


And the other bad news is I have no idea what brand they are and my bottom spring is a 450!


Anyone know what brand these baby's are? Can't seem to find a pair searching around google..I think there old race runners..? Would like to know to order a few parts and a rebuild kit..

Tony at TK1 is the shiznit... the portal buggy had lots of TK1 parts and when I needed them refurbished or had questions he was on it ASAP, even sent me new replacement bushings for my sway bars a couple times.

Cut my bump stop mounts off and installed the coil overs...


But I need to pull em and swap out the 450's cus there too stiff..


I have 1.5" of adjustment left and the bronco is sitting about 2" or more too high in the front..


I'm going to barrow some 225's for the bronco safari sense I'm so broke right now I'll be eating snakes wile I'm out there lol hope that will fix the problem...

If I had to do a quick guess I would guess that a 250 over 350 maybe close but, I bet they would still be a little stiff. My best guess would be a 225 over 300 or 200 over 300 would put you really close. Hard to really nail it via forum without having actual numbers in front of me.

Yeah, I need to weigh it to find out...

I went to carls and got some 14" 225 coils but when I got to the shop the bronco was sitting level..still 1" to high but I can live with that..
I think these springs are bran new cus there is not a mark on em so they just need to be broken in but I think I can run em for the safari as is.
