detailed version of what happened today: Today I got a few things done... I got a leaf out of each rear pack, make it more level. It's 1" high in the rear right now which is perfect IMO. also I moved the driver side axle up a hole, that's why my alignment wouldn't be perfect, I had it in the 6" hole of my custom built bracket... instead of the 4" hole. Now the steering wheel centers back perfect and it drives straight. also did the anti-rattle pieces for the windows. Now my windows don't rattle, it's really nice!!! Before: After: another thing I did was cut down and paint a piece of 1" angle that I'm gonna glue to the front top lip of my speaker box. That MDF doesn't take hits to well but it's made to hold weight like a false floor. I angled the Lifetime LED's... they ain't bright enough to do anything with my headlights on so I'm just using them to light up beside me better, they work great for that.

Nice- I had no idea the chains were so "universal"

I had no idea either... just when Charlie said that I saw the resemblance between the 2. Looks like most parts won't interchange but a few will.

to think, I started out with the "Top of the Line" Bronco 2, the XLT. (well except the EB trim that had some ugly seats). Auto hubs, electric shift transfer case, 3.73 gears(best widely offered ratio)and ALL of that is gone or will be gone. lol. oh well... anyways: needed to do some travel set tool cleanup: comes down to this: All packed in: Slowly switching a lot of stuff to Gearwrench and Craftsman, a lot of this is still HF stuff but it's my travel set so I don't want to tie up to much money into it.
