Added Vasherdesigns double shear brackets along with a chromoly heim outer joint from barnes4wd. Works great with the RockKrawler tie rod kit. Angles are so much better with the lift.
I figure once the stock tcase goes to shit, swap it out for one of their D300 4:1 Apex cases pricing seems reasonable for what you get https://www.behemothdrivetrain.com/products/fully-assembled-4-1-lomax-geared-dana-300-apex-3
Mounted my Hi Lift in the back between the roll bars. Easy to remove and secured when off-roading. Iāve had to use it quite a bit helping others on the trail that broke.
Havenāt called them yet to see if the BW4808 would work with their kit, but Iām hopeful.

UD60 installed, Arb locker hooked up and stock fuel tank reinstalled. Gonna rock it this way until itās paid off then itāll get a truss and triangulated 4 link. Larger fuel cell and a cage.
I wonder if this would have been a better fitā¦. obviously it wouldnāt be cheap all said and done, but space may be a little better https://www.spidertrax.com/IFS-4130-Narrow-Width-Housing
Some updates to the Broncoā¦
Broke a RCV passenger inner CV and broke the rear locker.
RCV has sent a new center shaft and rebuild kit.
For the rear I was lucky enough to find a new UD60 with an ARB air locker and 5.38 gears for $2500, steal of the year for sure.
Was poking around on ZFGracing and found that Suncoast is now offering complete rebuild kits up to stage 3 for the 10r60 and an upgraded torque converter. Not the cheapest upgrade, but good to know they are available. Also saw that fueling upgrades are available now as well.
New Yearā¦New Look!!
Swapped out the Metalcloak bumper for a new Icon Pro. Finished coating the grille and the hard top with Monstaliner. Just need to work on the fenders then itāll be ready for bigger tires. Need to start on new 4link too.
Had a great shake down run at Uwharrie this weekend. Fuel system works flawlessly, no CELs. Suspension feels the best it has ever been. Although now I want more tire and lower CG. Probably going to cut the fenders and see what I come up with for the front setup and mock up a true double...
A few updates on the build, finished the solomotorsports UCA double shear mounts, stinkyfab body mounts, fuel system modifications, diff drop, and got rid of the carpeted rear panel. Finished remounting the powertank too.
