    That Time We Drove Our Broncos Through a Clint Eastwood Movie Set in Doran Canyon, Calico

    Oh yeah, I don't doubt it. A B movie was shot in my neighborhood when I was in HS. They didn't have an exclusive use in place because people lived there, but a couple of times it got ugly when the people who actually lived there were just going about their lives and picked the wrong time to do...

    That Time We Drove Our Broncos Through a Clint Eastwood Movie Set in Doran Canyon, Calico

    I don't think that they really had a choice. Yeah, they could have had an exclusive use agreement with the BLM and probably did, but there are so many ways into that area that it would've taken a literal army of security folks to keep everyone out.

    Yes, Please! I'll even volunteer for tail-gunner again if that makes it go.

    D44 TTB 8 lug with a rear D60 and large disc brake conversions

    Major milestone reached last night, the front brakes are assembled and complete. I just need to modify the radius arms for the side mounting trailing damper lower mounts, fab the reservoir mounts, and I'll be ready to bleed the brakes and go for a test drive. One thing that I noticed yesterday...

    Spare Tire Mount

    I was thinking that maybe a pivot could be added to the existing bumper, but if that one is like those that I'm familiar with it really doesn't have the structure needed. Especially for a 37. You'd need to build such structure inside/behind it. Which is doable, but not a small project. Tire Gate...

    Random shot

    Centurions were rare when they were new. Now they're even rarer. Got to drive a Metropolitan (the 2WD version) that a friend had for his Tow Rig. The 460 never met a dead dino it didn't like. Friend said it got 10 no matter where you were going or how heavily it was loaded. Bob, you been in...

    Anybody run without the sway bar?

    In general the larger the bar's OD and/or the shorter the lever arms are the more likely it is to be felt in a quick response maneuver. Front and rear sway spring rates are developed together which is why I suggest taking the rear off if you've taken the front off. Unless "Rally Car / Robbie...

    Anybody run without the sway bar?

    IF there's a rear sway bar I'd take it off too.

    Spare Tire Mount

    I modified mine. As supplied it put the spare way too high, I think that I lowered it almost 6 inches. That's a 35-12.50R15 bolted on it in the pic. If you order anything custom do not assume anything, make sure that it is spelled out in the quote. If it's not there they won't do it. Mine was...

    FOR SALE 4" Camber-comp'd D44 beams, set of 4WABS knuckle & hub assemblies, Autofab pitman

    The beams were done by someone fairly skilled but they missed on the PS beam's camber. Using the largest angle adjuster gets it almost close to spec. These would be good beams for a wahoo machine that doesn't see long drives on pavement or maybe a HS kid's truck. I did make long drives on...

    8 Lug

    I'm in the process of doing it on my FSB. The one thing that I'd caution about is wheel back-spacing. Newer 8 lug trucks are not the same as older 8 lug trucks. AND it used to be that 8 lug was 8lug, but Ford screwed that up in '99 and now Dodge has seen fit to copy them. So there are at least...

    y'all seen this?

    Matt's ORR pulls a 6G out with a broken Tie-Rod, but the part that is concerning is that the aftermarket bumper wasn't up to the task.

    D44 TTB 8 lug with a rear D60 and large disc brake conversions

    Can see in this pic why the wheels have to change: I now have all 5 of the AR "Baja's" and will hopefully be getting them down to the tire guy next week. Old beams are out. PO said "it's got some sort of posi up front" When I got the assembly out from under the truck the diff case has...

    A suggestion for FNG's

    If going on a run is intimidating (it should NOT be, but I know how it can be) then I'll make a suggestion, take a course on driving off pavement. My wife was new to driving off pavement and we didn't jive in the instructor/student roles so I got her a class with https://www.4x4training.com/...

    New to 4 x 4s.

    Best way to learn is to put what you've read into practice. The Big Bear Bronco Bash is coming soon and is a great way to make connections and go on a trail run appropriate to your skills.
