Tricky Dick's Dirty Bronco

[LockedBronco]

Hard to explain. Feels like I need to make more steering corrections and smaller movements over correct more.

With what tires and what air pressure?
Front toe could be put in more.

Why didn't they adjust rear toe?

Well I'm a dumbass, the tires have about 20 psi in them. It's the Mickeys that had been in storage all winter and I forgot to top them up. I'm sure it will improve greatly when I get them back to 32-35.

Can't adjust toe on a straight axle without bending the housing.

Is there a b6g petition to prevent Tricky from making any further Bronco modifications or doing any boulder trail rides within two months of a scheduled ‘round the USA trip?

if so I would like to sign.

I'll tell you what the future holds, Tricky pulling a gooseneck to Bronco events with the 6G and the B2 on the back. Then I can break 2 rigs and still get home.

I think a hold on future tire purchases might well be in order.

You should match the rims on all of your Broncos. And possibly your Suzuki.

Also make sure that goose neck has room for your 92 Apsire. That way you have a reliable pit vic.

Stay tune for mods, although they're going to minimal because this thing rocks right out of the box.

The lies we tell ourselves....

Sadly the Suzuki is gone. I didn't want to chop it up so the B2 took it's place. Still looking for that Aspire though. It can ride sideways on the beavertail.

Finally got the from camera pulled today and put the grill back then locked down the winch. Waiting on a camera extension and wire loom to come in then I'll get the wires all hooked up.

Found this $10 winch cover and threw it on. Nothing special but it'll keep some weather off it.

I learned something about beadlocks today. The reason I went through hell getting them torqued was I never got metal to metal contact. These tire beads are too thick. The answer is ring spacers, which of course are custom.

Did some figuring, plotted them out in CAD (which I'm really getting the hang of) and submitted the file to the manufacturer I've been working with on other brackets.

Trying some 1/8" thick for $300, hopefully that's enough because the step up to 3/16" is $400.

You can always trade for a mini bike?

What did you think is going to pull the gooseneck?

I was thinking we could but the trailer ball on the helmet? This photo inspired me to think outside the box.

I have seen people use washers and some weird u-clips from McMaster Car.
