got a visit from ncsubronc today...he showed up in his 1/2 cab(sweet bronco)! i ordered some QA1 heim joints to replace the worn out joints on the tie rod, hope they show up Monday or Tuesday. so after installing the pass side warn hub, we took the bronco around the hood for a drive. pulled into the power lines and crossing a ditch when alot of smoke...THEN FIRE! the whole driver side when up in flames...luckily the new fire extinguisher was ready and easily at reach. got the fire out, backed out of the ditch, and replaced the hose that blew off. put a quart of PS fluid in it to get it back to the garage. glad it happened today and not next week at URE. need to get a compression fitting to make this hose more fool proof. thats twice it came off and caught fire. thanks for the help Jeremy!

need some input hydro guys...i want to install mine, but its looking to cramped on the axle with the ram mounted on the WH track bar riser and the ram mounted to the tie rod...comes close to the diff cover when turned full left(DRIVER SIDE)
anyone run them on the drag link? anyone make a mount from the bronco frame/cross member to the drag link?

I take full responsibility for that PS line Chuck since I took you a little too literally when you said you wanted it "tight" when I installed it.

That's something we've got to iron out on the giant pumpkin. I don't think there is enough room to do it like yours so might end up going off of the diff cover. Looks good Chuck!
