Broncitis Rat Rod build thread.
I picked my steering box up today and am ready to get it back on and the Ol Blue mobile again. Heres the skinny. My pitman shaft was bent resulting in a tight spot and also was contributing to the leaking seal. Guess what there was not a replacement anywhere to be found. They did have a shaft in stock which is 3/4s of a inch longer. With the Supension lift I am thinking that 3/4 of a inch will put it closer to the stock geometry. Total rebuild with the 136 $ replacement shaft came to 368 $. I am just happy to have it back and when the weather allows I'll finish the frame reinforcement and get it rolling again.

No maybe tomorrow. Bronco is sitting outside and we have been having Monsoon rains today. It is flooding on top of my hill. LOL

We put the Kayaks in the drainage ditch on the farm to navigate while looking for a nice buck I made a bad shot on.Those ditches normally have 4- 6 inches of water in them and some of them were over 6 foot deep. Fun adventure with a nephew but I am hoping the shot only wounded him and I did not waste him.

It drives much better than it ever did and the plates I put on the frame got rid of the flexing before I have welded them to the frame. I am still going to skip weld them to the frame after I eat lunch just to add more support.

I would rate the experience with CJR Products as very nice and professional. They did a great job and I am very satisfied with the end result.

Well I busted the left front axle today and am in the process of deciding who to deal with for a new set to put in, It looks like Moser is the brand most of the suppliers sale. Does anyone have any input to help me come to a decision?

Yukon supplies a lot of them. I'd try to find a set with a good warranty.

Warranty and get chromos and 760 joints!
