[PhantomEB]

Well its been a crazy year with tryin to get it done for last May but didnt happen so heres how it sits after the lazy dog days of summer, will be startin back at it hard core in Sept to be ready for some testing and tuning in Jan/Feb.

So heres the run down,
79 HP D60 with 4.88 Eaton Elocker, Yukons and Spicers, 35 spline Warn Premiums.

SpiderTrax 3.5" tubed housing with cut off and welded 14 bolt outers and disc brakes, 4.88 Detroit Locker from the old housing, shortened and resplined 14 bolt axles to fit my 9" Detroit.

Long arm up front, Triangulated 3 link with coils. Front pushed forward 4", Rear the same, so somewhere in the 99-100" WB range with 3" out each side.

15 gallon fuel cell (probably get swapped out for a custom one to move the back seat back some) for ground clearance.

PowerJectionIII throttle body injection, tryin it out since its laptop tunable.

Soon to come..

C6 Shorty trans,
NWF Black box,
205.
Shorty headers to tuck it all up high.

Re: Rockstar V2.0

Local guy up here from a former club who has his own machine shop and loves doin shit like this.

Barely fit thru with the 38s... figuring may have to figure out some sort of suck down winch set up.....but truth be told, I have my fender height damn near identical on the 42s as I did with the 38s. Testin and tuning will tell me if I ditchin flares, or lowering or raising the coil buckets.

Garage door still does go up and over the bronco as is, just the opening..... no wonder if I stickin around this place, a 28x28x9'4" and dual 9x8s will be put up.

Re: Rockstar V2.0



Thanks EFIbroncoman for all his help with suspension digits.

One bracket to move then I think I can glue steel together. More than enough travel with 8" full uptravel and a full 33" under the rotor at full flex.

Got to get the coils in there and see what comes about or am I swapping coils out...

Re: Rockstar V2.0

Looks like a nice setup.

Re: Rockstar V2.0

Guess some serious body work gonna be necessary at 100" wb but stock style 23 gallon gas tank will be workable!

Re: Rockstar V2.0

How far did you push each axle? Mine was 101", 6" in the front and 3" in the back. Sorry about the picture being upside down.

Re: Rockstar V2.0

4 and 4 it seems. Anyone find me some reference points to measure off of as to where stock diffs would of been located for me to figure it out?
