Steering is darting is this the likely culprit?
By joshua
My track bar isn’t in perfect alignment with the drag link. It’s close. But I believe it needs to go up to the next hole on the axle riser. But still wondering if this is likely the reason for the darting back and forth. I just got it back on on the road after tearing it down to a bare frame. It was built with mostly people left overs so I’m worried maybe things aren’t jiving. What I do know is correct, is all the radius arm bushings for the size of the lift. I haven’t touched the heim...

New ARB Winch Thoughts?
By Ol'Blue
Next project is new winch and bumper and thinking of this new ARB. Checked it out at one of the off road shows, very impressive, fast and especially like the low profile design. Anyone have any experience yet? Pricey compared to its comparable Warn models, but sure is tempting......... https://store.arbusa.com/arb-winch-w-synthetic-rope?utm_source=chatgpt.com

1996 Ford Explorer Stuff (2 being parted out)
By 1969miller
Building a couple budget hot rods with a 2 best friends and all we really need for these cars are the block, heads, and most of the front belt drive. Everything else is up for grabs. Thought of the bronco community first as these parts listed are desired by folks looking to do ford factory efi conversions. Both are 1996 running explorers, one drives (had it up to 60+, upshifts and downshifts fine) and the other one ran and drove on and off the trailer but the seller says it needs a trans... Read more

By thegreatjustino
Is there a product to re-adhere this to the shift arm, or am I stuck buying a repop? This is the original shifter and knob, so I'd prefer to keep it if possible.

Aft Door Weatherstrip Won’t Stay Glued
By RonJones
I have a 1973 EB that underwent a frame-off a few years ago. Both doors close a little tight, but nothing dreadful. I can’t get the drivers rear window vertical weatherstril to stay put; I’ve used adhesive a half-dozen times - a few weeks later it’s flopping around. As you can see below the rear door window frame seems bent in towards the top. I honestly can’t tell for sure weather that’s a door problem vs. the top being splayed out. All I can come up with is (1) clamp the aft window... Read more
SEMA 2026
By Broncobowsher
It is SEMA week. Show starts tomorrow. Wasn't planning on going this year, but work connections got me an exhibitor badge. So it looks like I am going. Had not seen any SEMA 2026 threads yet, so figured I would start one. I even renewed my contributor status (Jon, check is in the mail, PayPal hates me right now). For decades I was a yearly regular. 2002-2018 was every year. Since then it is every 2nd or 3rd year I go. I am thinking the attendance will be down a little as it usually... Read more
What's the verdict on aftermarket bodies?
By eou_edu
I know this is talked about alot. A few hours of using the search function I thought it would be easier for this to compile together. I know they come with the full body and the more stripped down version with no top or hood. I'm also shopping for a price point, I know that's a cardinal sin but I have a budget I have to work with. I'm also on the west coast so ideally something I can drive to pick up. Here's a few options I know: -china body: if you buy at alibaba you need to buy 10... Read more
Chinese Bronco Bodies Are Now On Barrett-Jackson
By duffymahoney
First I have seen of new chinese bronco bodies going on Barrett-Jackson. It's going to be interesting to watch what happens. Do stock ford bodies become more valuable? Does it devalue the whole market? From the pictures the fit is not great, but not terrible. I have only seen a single new bronco body in person (no chinese) I could tell it wasn't stock, but it was sitting next to my stock steel ford bronco.

List of parts needed for my 1970
By Jdgephar
Hi Everyone, Here is my current list of parts I need to get this 1970 back on the road again: - Electric wiper motor, bracket (drop preferred), and linkage. I don't need the arms as I will do the Cherokee rear mod (unless you have those too) - Headlight trim rings. 1970 didn't have the holes for the screwdriver to adjust the aim, but I won't be picky if you have the later ones. - Steering column firewall mounting bracket - Speedometer cable and gear (18 tooth / gold) - Rear tank fuel...

Ring of Fire (electrical)
By joshua
Driving home tonight (dusk) I had lights on. I caught a glimpse of red glowing ring kind float out from under my dash. I immediately pulled over popped the hood and disconnected the battery.

(Short) So I searched the floor where I thought I saw it fall the ring fall to, and found this.( 1st pic) I only had 2 miles to home and a fire extinguisher so I chanced and I drove home with my lights off and one hand under the dash feeling wires...
