Where's Lansdale?

Where's Lansdale?

It's the last exit going south on the NE Extension.

Ok, but the question I have is: Why?

If more is good, then too much is just enough?

 

[adamsoffroadperform]

not sure I understand your ques.

 

[uncle.stosh]

not sure I understand your ques.

I cannot for the life of me fathom the NEED to run 5 ton axles under a Bronco.

Never in Shamokin, but I have been to Rausch Creek.

If that really is a 76 they should have kept the FE motor in there.

I cannot for the life of me fathom the NEED to run 5 ton axles under a Bronco.

probly a built bigblock, doubler, 57" tires that weigh about 550lbs per tire and wheel with 4" cleats, and mud deep enough to make them disappear.

 

[adamsoffroadperform]

Never in Shamokin, but I have been to Rausch Creek.

there is alot of good wheelin in that area you can drive from shamokin to mount carmal on trails and there is all kinds of terrain.

 

[seawalkersee]

You suck. But about these "modified internals" on your sag pump. What did you do and why?

Chris

 

[adamsoffroadperform]

the rear fitting and the piston were modifed for more flow at idle and to increase the pressure. Oh and yes the wife has a DYSON, man can that thing suck.

 

[Shadofax]

Hmm, pretty cool, looks monstrous beefy. With a built big block and all the gearing and super heavy axles/tires do you guys do some frame stiffening as well? I can't imagine the bronco frame holding up to the whole setup for long.

 

[adamsoffroadperform]

here's some pics of the 5 tons I bought thet are a civilian version with 5.81 gears and air lockers they also have 2 1/4" 23 spline axles where as military 5 tons have 2 1/8" 16 spline shafts

the one on the left is a standard 5 ton shaft and the one with the double spline is from my 5 tons the double spline is for the air locker

here's some pics of the internals

these are scheduled to go in my bronco very directly.

 

[adamsoffroadperform]

usually it just takes alittle subframe work mine has been holdin up for three years now other than the front shafts in the 2.5 tons haven't found any cracks yet though it did have a few from when it was on 1 tons but that was fixed in the last build. also that is why we are using a 78 frame for his 89 the newer frames are really weak compared to the older frames I have killed a couple of the newer frames in some of my trucks they just don't have the quality that they used to.

 

[BigBad94Bronco]

Just curious why you aren't going to run those planetarary axles instead of the 5 tons?
