This is the current recommendation on how to choose your lift. I no longer recommend spacer lifts, this is due to possible cv axle damage and added wear to front differential seals. I am also not recommending lift springs since they don't always net the same lift and that you need more shock to...
So I bought DV8 light bar mount because I really liked the look. Looking back at the purchase it was not worth it as the money would have been better spent on something else. I don't like being limited on light choices and DV8 clearly didn't make this compatible with normal light sizes.
I have...
Someone had to do the bonus line. Look at those awesome brand new wheels! @Dusty at ICON needs to put the picture on Icon website.
@NORCALGXP nominated for first bronco to rip a ball joint out of a Hoss 3.0 tie rod!
I tried taking the screws out, but the M12 milwaukee was just sitting there. Overall I think this was one of the best quality headlight I have had the honor of destroying. I would like to thank @Form Lighting for today's stress relief project. I actually think much higher of Form Lights...
The 4 cylinder skid is sold out but a few other half off deals.

Well after 2 real uses I am calling them junk. I would call them something else but they are not a step, helpful or a long term product.
Installed December of 2023 after coming back from Moab. First real test was Prairie City Wild Horses and I bent both sliders upward at the front body mount...
Just installed some 4wp control arms, fantastic deal for adding a little caster over factory control arms. I bought these a few weeks ago and the deal is still running...
*Update it's a loose lower control arm bolt. FYI don't you a 6" crescent wrench to check bolts when troubleshooting.
Passenger inner tie rod lasted less than 1k miles. Kind of a shame that Hollister Hill dirt roads put it to death. Failed faster than a stock tie rod 🤣 hahahaha.
Enjoying my...
Here we go!
We will start with the outers. Overall the Dorman is much thicker and does require some assembly and comes dry(I will use Moly).
The Dorman comes with a drilled stud for use with castle and a cotter pin. I have mixed feelings on castle nuts, for a max strength item I want more...
Forms picture thread is here! Specs and other crap that usually sell products but really don't tell you if they are a good buy.
I have installed all sorts of aftermarket headlights over the last 20 years and have really come to the conclusion they are a waste of money. I am a big on modifying...
Well if you plan to swap to a M210 front differential be aware you will have to come to a damn near stop to go into 4Hi. This is a huge let down as you no longer can be driving along and go oh I need 4wd.
This has me rethinking adding back in my front disconnect so I can hit 4hi when I need...
Overall I am not super impressed, money wise I paid $300 to I am keeping them. They stick out and are not a step, really bad design for safety. Step on them and land on your ass, I tested them... I plan to weld some steel on to make real steps and bought these as a base to modify.
The other...
So this week the trail discussion was about running without the cv-shaft installed. After some back and forth we ultimately decided to run with a stub shaft. As we where looking at 1000+ mile drive home it was kind of not worth the risk.
The unit bearing looks like a solid center with no seams...
So I was 2 footing it coming off the brake and onto the throttle. Then bang, some intense steering and both feet on the brakes(grew up driving a 63 Studebaker so it's a natural panic move). Listen to the noise as I was in drive and it sounded like I went into park. Not sure what is actually...
Hope to put everything in one place for what we know about spacers lifts. This is an update to what was previously thought since we are now a couple of years in.
We have the cv axle thread and travel here if you want aftermarket shocks...
So after getting a text message saying we needed to run Fordyce. We managed to get a small group together to see how far we could go! Group was @Snacktime @SS Bronco @NORCALGXP @Dirtyjed
Will add some videos, these are a few of the photos I took as I was having way to much fun.
We did...
Well here they are! Facts the narrowest cross section on the icons is the same as Ford performance at 12mm. Same size ball socket on the outside. I was under the impression these things where atomic strength! Definitely beefer on the outer.
I would be installing these today but I snap my...
