Its been a minute since I've posted anything regarding our Bronco build, and in light of recent events I feel now is an appropriate time for an update. Right before Christmas we received the first set of portals from 74Weld and got right on the install. We did things a little different than...

😂😂😂

I feel like this isn’t going the way Tyler expected it to🤷‍♂️

It’s a tough nut but makes the JT and entirely different vehicle. Hopefully we can pull off the V8 in the Bronco and get that soaks excitement back

Yes, using the G238. Let me know when you’re ready!

Yep Only way we will do it is if the entire dash work like it does now.

Don’t think we aren’t working on it. Unlike others that have tried installing the drivetrain and then making it work, we’ve been carefully looking at the electronic side. Maybe it’ll happen, maybe it won’t. The thing I’m worried about the most is that there isn’t actually a market for it. It’s...

Imagine going full send and the leverage against the factory knuckle upon landing.

Nope. Extended brake lines and as mentioned before, I’d re-gear to keep the rpms more suitable for daily driving. You don’t have to re-gear but I would.

Kinda true. If you re-gear the Bronco to 4.10 ratio in the diffs it’ll calculate to 5.0 as your final drive ratio with the portal. Perfect for 38-40” tires with the 10 speed imho.

Looks like 74Weld is a lot closer than previously thought. Can’t wait to get our hands on a set!

Sure, I’m at the shop most days so you’re welcome to stop by.

I Reading through your write up it seems the only thing you’re eluding to is gear whine, but have you actually heard it on a set of 74Weld portals or is it just speculation? Honest question. Also, I’d venture to say any portal that can handle an Ultra4 race, repeatedly, is probably going to...

They’ve been working fine on the Jeeps as a daily driver, and now Toyotas. Can’t see any reason why they won’t work just as well on the Broncos or anything else that comes to market.

Who said they were still trying to figure it out? Pretty sure they have, and the only reason they’re not available is because they’re testing them. I’d be willing to bet there will be some fancy YouTube content out there with them on Broncos pretty soon.

Spot on. All the billet housings will require some sort of upgrades tie rod because they’re all made for the larger boot. Plus, it just makes sense. Spend a little more and wheel with peace of mind. Also correct on the Hoss 2.0 housing.👍

Then it should be here this week😉

They had a recall on them. Happened right before 74Weld released the rack for sale but Ford assured them it wouldn’t be an issue getting them good donors for the rack builds. Turns out that wasn’t true. Anyways, for the time being we can get empty housing from 74 and if someone has a Hoss 3.0...

The issue isn’t the housing, it’s the 3.0 rack. Ford Performance was supposed to be releasing them right about now.

Can’t wait for this to happen!
