Blue's parked for winter.. Will come out in the spring with a bunch of nice new parts.

And no roof?

Blue already has a nice sun roof.
Red is the one getting cut up.

Blue got it's doors put back on yesterday as Krojak worked on his taco. Tube doors will be stored until Summer.

Did you ever get around to making the square tube drive shaft? Just curious about how the vibes really are at any kind of speed. Pretty cool idea though, I wish I would have heard about it 15 years ago on my first Bronco. Would have been a much cheaper option than the custom one I had built for it.

I did not but it's still on the list to get done. The whole truck got put on the back burner. lol..

Vibes should be no worries as I don't plan on much over 10mph in 4wd. I doubt I'll ever really use 4 hi, ie: snowy highway.

Others have reported both good and bad. I suppose it depends on how well you construct it and which method you use to center everything.

In the end I don't think the vibes are going to be bad enough to complain. Custom drive shaft is $300, this thing should cost about $40-50. There's a few folks that make them for people and sold them for $100 shipped.

Gotcha. I agree at low speeds should be no problems really just a little clunk when changing the rotation I would imagine. Having driven an with unbalanced drive shaft before I am curious to compare.

Kept forgetting to mention this...There is a shop on 422 just east of Rt.19 before you hit 79 that does springs and drive shafts. Don't rightly recall the name of the place. I'll see if I can find out what the name of the shop is.

Hey lumpy,

Yeah I know who you mean. I just don't wanna spend $ on a custom driveshaft. $50 in square tube and I'm set.

Ok, finally getting back to blue.. Prepping for next year as I'm not going to drive it this winter. Perhaps if i can get enough other stuff done I'll have it out for a ride before years end.

Anyone want to lend a hand? We can schedule a garage party.
