Solid Front Axle for Ford Bronco by Lonestar Ring & Pinion

[j_marinelli]

Lonestar Ring and Pinion looks like made up a kit to convert over to SFA for the Broncos. Not sure on pricing and availability but gives an option to those wanting to do some hardcore offroading.

Two things:

That panhard bar on the front looks super short so there will be a lot of lateral axle movement through the travel. It's probably a good thing they did hydro steer or else bump steer would have been unavoidable.

The rest of the suspension links sure hang down low everywhere.

Pretty cool to see a kit like this coming out. Not for me, but a great thing for others!

AWESOME! Pretty sure that's gonna void the warranty tho!

Do they have a kit to convert to recirculating ball steering to go with?

looks like full hydro

Then you lose everything the Bronco does well on road. But if you only had one for an off road rig I guess.

Isn't hydro-steering not DOT approved and off-road only?

Technically. Don't think the guy who does something like this is really too worried about that tho!

Drive Full Hydro on the Highway and you'll die, or worse, but supercool for a low speed toy.

I would be impressed if they posted a video showing it driving down the road with no lights on the dash. Must be Christmas light show every time they start it.

Hmmm....if I wanted that I would just go buy another Jeep. (been there done that)
I still maintain that the best off road vehicle is the one that strikes that balance between off road capabilities and on road capability for that 6-8 hour drive TO the trails. (not everyone lives in Moab).
Regardless, using the assumption that the solid axle conversion is more expensive than most make in a month, I am happy for anyone with that kind of disposable income to make that level of mods to a very capable factory vehicle.

Finally someone using "SAS" properly!

good grief,
look, I can be like a jeep too

Would be nice to see someone come up with SAS with a real steering box that isn’t lifted excessively high.
