My thoughts exactly and Dana's and a Dodge are like peanut butter and jelly

[bighoss72]

The curries are based off dana 60s its just a currie made case with the cover rotated up to keep from bashing the covers on rocks, internally its a dana 60 thou

Lookin good, first bit of tube is the hardest but once you get a good base that is square/level you'll be suprised how easily it flows from there. Before you know it you'll have an interior cage and an exo

[bronc4now]

UPDATE..
Cab mount this was a fun..

Then i mounted the cab and added a rollbar and tire mount

and then it did start to flow faster after the hard stuff was setup..


im hoping the trans and links all work well will see soon

[bronc4now]

Long time small update..
Ok I've been really happy so far with this rig small issues but I've been getting around them.
1st the heavy stock seats ive been wanting to make a set but my time is aways taking up. so when the scale shop put out the new seats i picked up a set and they were great i was so busy I didn't take a pick but he's happy ..

After that i went to the king of guru's in ohio and had blast running and meeting all the cool guys and i also picked up one of these bad boys 3rd in class 2

[bronc4now]

Ok and the guru's kicked both of my rigs butt..
at the end of my run i noticed my front diff slipping close call..so tear down time before ECSC
nasty water aways gets in these curries i guess..

looks to be my front gripfab no slop locker came loose or something it had been in there for some time and it might of been user error ..but nothing broke so i cleaned it all up and put her back in with red lock tight made sure my axle ran smoothly and cranked it down good

decided to swap out that o/d gear up front also as I've seen my teeth get chewed up like dlux and some has found..so I'm now running std hd gears front u/d in rear.
And some new 5mm stub cvds
all new bearing of course

[bronc4now]

O how could I forget added my lights and motoworks rims and scale hubcaps also..

last week local comp yota took 3rd and fj took 1st
