The good:
351w, 104k miles, 4x4, decent interior, new A/C everything, new cooling system, new suspension, runs great
The bad:
She's from Minnesota and full of rust, shifts hard, smoke in interior followed by gauge cluster death, driveline vibration
95% sure cluster will solve shifting issues, most likely VSS related. It's defaulted to TPS for shifting. Driveline vibration feels like driveshaft to me, not worried either way.
The real problem is the rust. The previous owner replaced both quarters and fenders. First and foremost I need to stop it. I'm thinking of taking it to have it blasted off and then painting everything on the under carriage, and assessing where I go from there. Once that's done I need to realign the quarter panels and fenders, weld them in the proper location (currently alignment is lacking), and then repaint the truck. Not sure if I'll base/clear it or just hit it with a single stage satin black or something.
Once that's out of the way I'm going to turn this thing into an offroad juggernaut.Last edited by CJ; 02-26-2017, 08:04 PM."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

Fixed the cluster, transmission/shifting issues, etc. Vibration is pinion angle, I'm almost certain.
Rust isn't as bad as I had initially thought. I'll be tacking the undercarriage and frame over the next few weekends. Once that's done I should have it 100% and I'll be priming it with some 2k epoxy. Once I get it all leveled out (honestly it's super straight now) I will shoot some single stage satin gunmetal grey.
Something like this:
I'm also in the market for a set of one ton axles. I'm looking for Dana 60's out of an F250/350 - front and rear."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

Alright, that's what I thought, haha. In certain situations I would agree. If you're broke an XJ, if you want a very capable daily a TJ, but if you intend to make a dedicated trail rig with one ton axles, anything under 4,000lbs is pretty much on level ground. Honestly, putting tons on a TJ or JK is a major pain in the ass. I look forward to an extremely easy conversion on this Bronco, which is why I bought it (and it was about four times cheaper).Originally posted by Baron Von Crowder View Post"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

You gonna do 05+ axles?Comment

I believe the newer super duty trucks have Dana 50 front axles, don't they? I was looking for Dana 60 front/rear from a 92-96 f250/350, but I will admit I don't have extremely intricate knowledge of the nuances between the years.Originally posted by 4EyedTurd View Post"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin
