Lol fiddling is just about right! I DID re-locate the fuel fill port to accommodate the stretch. Now the hose goes up through the taillight area, comes out about a foot behind the normal spot. Hooked up the e-brake. Dang holidays are killing my wallet AND my time! I am determined to get back on a normal garage schedule, get that D60 in and get to work on some "other" stuff, not mine. I'll get pics up when I get back in town. Dave Part of the stretch is re-locating the gas fill port, now it's behind the tail light- my.photodump.com/davephillips/fill tube_R-672-T.jpg[/IMG][/URL] my.photodump.com/davephillips/fill tube_R-457-T.jpg[/IMG][/URL] my.photodump.com/davephillips/gas fill relocate-T.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Anti-wrap bar- my.photodump.com/davephillips/traction axle-T.jpg[/IMG][/URL] my.photodump.com/davephillips/traction shackle_R-324-T.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Flares- my1.photodump.com/Anonymous/side front-T.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Ok, pics "preview" fine but won't actually post.

Update-21December
Ok, the extended arms are just about done. Fender flares are on after opening up fenders. Now it's looking more like a Bronco should. Then wedge spacers need to be made and calipers need to be ground a little to fit the new wheels. Spin Bronco around and pull front out. I'm trying to post pics...

Dave, you probably need to change the image posts in the other post(s) to use the tagged info in the "Post" block for the image page(s). Seems like Photodump is a little different than other sites on that. Lookin' good on progress, and an FYI I am free mostly until Christmas Day. Kinda spaced on calling you last time like I had mentioned, but will try again this weekend. Dave G

Me likey photobucket. Flares are on- Gas fill relocated, need to route fill and vent hoses up more to body, fenderwells still need stretched- New tube route- Here's the anti-wrap bar I made a while back and couldn't get the pics to load- Thanks for the spring perch Norm. Makes a good axle bracket!- Protects the driveshaft a bit, PaulC I'm going to try and get this driveshaft back to you BEFORE it gets twisted! It IS a J**p shaft afterall. I do thank you though - That's an XJ shackle up there. Allows for front to back movement of axle. May have to rod end it, won't know until I cut out inner fender wells and ramp it- Extended arms are almost done. Nothing fancy. We'll see how long 3/4" rod ends hold up to dropping onto rocks. Could probably drill and thread up to 1" rod ends if they break often. They are easy to change out on the trail at least. Any inputs?- Everything is 1/4". These were cut using Harbor Freight plasma cutter, the $500 one. Cut right through, made it very easy. Ok, so I'm a little shaky-

Hmmm. Looks like the image codes aren't posting right, or they're not public? Weird. I tried viewing the images individually, and photobucket promptly gave me the finger.... " There is no content in this album."

Yea they've been around for the EB's for years, built by B.C. Broncos. Not needed when running extended arms plus they're a fair amount of work...check out BroncoBilly's flex shots in his build up. His junk works great on the trail. Needs 10 pack leaves in the back for a little better ride and balance out the suspension movement as compared to the front.
