I totally get what you are saying, but what I wonder how much force are you losing from the axial loading? 1% 5%? 15%? (Doctor evil voice) one million percent?
It should be a nice flat transition between the cross members. I guess technically I could bend the plate up closer to the...
They are machined aluminum housings, so way lighter then if they were cast. What university did you work at?
I read your other posts about this. Question, in a helical ger setup how much force is converted from rotational force to axial force?
Hopefully that question makes sense. I went to...
Update:
I need to get my photos together, and do a better write up. Been pretty busy here at the shop designing some new stuff!
I went to Hidden falls this weekend with a few buddies. Lets just say, wheeling with portals VS a stock bronco is a game changer. I was following jeeps on 40's on...
It’s been a while since I have been back here. There are a few videos of me taking this thing through Pritchett Canyon at Moab.
Just gonna drop some photos here of the next upgrade in progress.
I got a little behind on this. Had a ton of Fun at Katcemy Rocks! According to Shaine the only other paper plate bronco out there was bronco buster's!
Skid plates did great! I was pretty happy with how they held up. I am debating if I want to try to recess the bolt heads, or just add rock...
Quick morning update.
At our breakfast stop. There is my F-150, wife is driving the Bronco and we are pulling my buddies international scout that is on 40’s with a 7.3 power stroke in it.
:p.
I really wanted to write a much longer post going into the details and fab portion of this…. But IMHO this turned out great first shot!
I do need to pull them down and weld it them up!
My name is Shaun and my wife and I live in Houston, Texas. I have drooled over the bronco since they came out. When the wife's car blew up I tried to get her to buy one. Needless to say, there was nothing out there at the time and she got an explorer ST... which is also a lot of fun to drive...
I am here to help offer a solution to the bronco community. Right now I design, and make some catalytic converter antitheft plates for the F-150, and I would love to get my hands on a bronco to make one for. Looking at the pictures posted I think it would be a redesign.
If there is someone in...
