What did you do to your Bronco today?

You want your pan hard or track bar as parallel to the ground as possible to minimize and balance your lateral axle movement upon suspension movement. My bar was far from parallel and I needed an adjustable one to center my axle on the body after the relocation bracket was installed. I never checked the centering of the axle before I started, but I like i said, I wanted my bar as parallel as possible. Did you know Ford uses the same bar for ALL Bronco models except maybe the Raptor?

I needed an adjustable bar on my Mustang for the same reason except it was lowered, even though it was indeed offset from the factory. Thinking they all are. A must for maximizing wheels and tires on my Boss.

Good point. Looks like about a 4 inch drop across there. I knew it was not horizontal at stock but for some reason I did not remember it being quite so much. Even with the relocation bracket I am not quite horizontal but I am much closer than that..... and that is with a 2.5 inch suspension lift. I have an adjustable length bar but the reason I am using it is for the johnny joints at the ends as opposed to the stock polys.... I actually can feel the rear is a little looser, as in it has a little less resistance to flexing.

The more I can fasten to the walls, the more floor space I can use to haul camping gear. I installed roof, console, door pocket, and rear window Molle panels. I'm very happy with the design and build quality of the DV8 components. They're bound to maximize my storage capacity.

Looking good Chris! Form and function!

Went through an automatic car wash for the first time since owning it. Didn’t want to take a chance with damaging the soft top but with the new hard top, game on. Plus, took my co-pilot Leon along for his first adventure in an automatic car wash….. he’s addicted to the changing colors and instant water falls..

I installed my DV8 Off-Road Storage Compartment. It essentially doubles your subfloor cargo capacity. It is made of steel, and brother let me tell you it is BEEFY. It certainly adds a bit of weight. I'm going to store a few bulk items there, freeing up the floor area and keeping things neat up top. Tow straps, come-alongs, bungee cords, all have a home now.



I had to drop the muffler to gain access underneath. Once that was done, the installation went swiftly. Gone are the tin heat shield and the flimsy plastic cargo compartment liner. I don't know why Ford engineers hadn't maximized the storage capacity as much as they could have. Perhaps weight savings?

Chief Ron

Chris,
I guess there is no concern about the transfer of heat from the muffler to the items inside the box?

The new cargo container comes with its own heat shield, so things should be fine in there. 😉
