Love the attention to detail on this build. I bought my OBS a few months back and was surprised at the lack of off-road aftermarket. Basically just tacky, heavy bumpers and stupid headlight designs. Keep up the good work on this build so I can keep stealing your ideas!
@78SilverBronco2 ай бұрын
Thanks!! I definitely agree, lots of garbage in the aftermarket, nothing really tailored to off-road other than flimsy lift kits. I just finished up swapping the front knuckles in from a 2000 and brake calipers/rotors from a 2007. Really helped the stopping power but I’m dealing with some alignment issues as a result (maybe a little bump steer too). Still sorting that one out.

My '96 Tahoe 4x4 is in beautiful shape, much as yours is. I am in the process of upgrading the brakes, (replacing the old rear drums etc.). Its a challenge to do this and avoid having to go off shore. Would like to stay with US manufacturers and increase rotor and caliper sizes. A bigger master cylinder is easy to source on shore. if anyone is reading this and has experience with this, I'm all ears! Finally, thanks for sharing your Tahoe. Its a beautiful example!

Thanks! I just did a brake upgrade myself. I sourced knuckles from a 2000 Tahoe, brake calipers and rotors from a 2007, and did a full front suspension rebuild. They clear 17’s and stop much better than factory. I’m also running the 2000-2006 master cylinder.

The upper ball joint hole on the 2000 knuckle will need to be reamed out with a 2 degree per foot tapered team. Very easy to do, I got one on Amazon for $65. Put it in my drill and went slowly until the 88-99 balljoint seated on it.

Thanks! I did a 2” tapered block in the rear and a torsion crank up front. Not much difference in ride, I only raised it about 1.5” in the front.

@@bradc5433 Yeah the true trac is an aftermarket mechanical limited slip. It’s a Torsen style diff whereas the G80 is an inertia locker and generally pretty fragile. I just picked up an ARB air locker and plan to see how that works out. The true trac was great up until you fully unload a tire, then it just spins. Most people say you can modulate brakes to make it lock, but if your already articulated with limited traction, applying the brakes is the last thing you really wanna have to do.

It's a muffler delete, 3.55, 65mm TB, Hurst Billet Plus short throw (the old black one that is ridiculously short, not the ones with the long stick) and some home made subframe connectors. I know it's got an aftermarket clutch and the transmission was rebuilt with a "stronger" first and 2nd gear but whether that's ratio wise or just material I really don't know. I also *just* discovered (okay, re discovered because I knew I'd seen it before) it's got a hole in the passenger floor board which sucks add it to the list 😂.

Wiping out a cam lobe is the absolute worst. Was this on a fresh engine? When I rebuilt the 400 in my bronco, I went roller just to avoid any chance of taking out a cam lobe. It just made me too nervous with the quality of flat tappet lifters these days.

Thanks! I ran the 72cc chamber, the block is at 0 deck with the KB 13cc dish pistons and .040 MLS head gasket. The intake pushrod is 8.9" and the exhaust is 8.8". I ran a set of Johnson SBF hydraulic roller tie-bar lifters, which I believe is slightly longer than the stock lifters resulting in the shorter pushrods. If I had to do it over again, I would've liked to run a lower CR, maybe 9.2-9.5:1 and a bit of a longer duration cam.
