Default today...

well today i decided to break into the bronco. replaced the rear brakes, all four shocks, scratched that stupid 2.5% tint off every window, detailed the inside, bent and replaced the brake lines, and now im trying to get the four bolts holding the driveshaft to the pinion off, but they're bein stubborn... so im about to get a wrench w/ about a 4 foot breaker bar and have at it. lol, hope i dont break any bolts though... oh, and i painted my brake drums. body lift will be off by the end of this week if all goes to plan and then i can get my suspension lift.

im going w/ a 4" lift. not sure what brand yet though. still deciding. im only going with a 4" because i dont want to throw all the linkage and everything out of wack, and its my DD. i know they make linkage extensions, and drop down brackets and all that, but still. i figured geared and locked front and rear, 4" lift, trimmed fender wells, snorkel, covered electronics, and 35-37s would be near about unstoppable.

arb is what im wanting. if end up going w/ a detroit or something along those lines, then ill probably put a truetrac or some other type of limited slip up front.

yep a limited slip will make steering alot easier. had a lockright in my front dana 50 f250 and steering was DIFFICULT. arb is pretty expensive, but being able to unlock it for street in nice.
