Mxer Gen1 Build Numba 2

But what about the Torsen front diff? With the iwe delete, it's not an "open" diff anymore, so when turning on dry pavement with the front tires "locked" won't it chirp and break traction like a spooled rear axle? Won't the front diff be fighting itself on tight turns?

You bring up a good point but I would guess that the nominal difference in wheel speed under normal driving and turning would not be enough to cause the Torsen to redistribute torque. This is how lsd systems are designed, allowing just enough uninhibited slip for normal driving and turns but locking up once the slip has exceeded that.

My '96 Bronco had a rear spooled Ford 9" with 35's. Lots of fun driving in a parking structure; everybody turning their heads from that tire chirping and engine rumble. And it set off every. single. alarm.

A quick update to this build. Still waiting on rear shocks from Fox. Accutune says they should show up in March. In the meantime I did some maintenance and added a few small stuffs.

• R&R Engine Oil and Filter
• R&R Transmission Fluid
• Install Stahlbus Oil Drain Valve
• Install Powerbass 2XL-683 Speakers w/OEM Harness Adapters
• Install Osram Night Breaker D3S Bulbs
• Install Axia Alloys Fire Extinguisher Mounts
• Lube & Torque Front Suspension, Uniballs, Heims, Balljoints
• Lube & Torque Rear Suspension Deaver Polyurethane Bushings

Ive been daydreaming of getting some Axia Alloys fire extinguisher mounts for quite some time but couldn't bring myself to waste the money, finally scooped up some of those. Also got the Powertank mounted up on the BuiltRight rack. Swapped out the OEM HID bulbs for some Osram Night Breakers, truly a worthwhile upgrade if you don't want to swap to a retrofit headlight. Finally swapped out the OEM speakers for some Powerbass 2XL-683. Ill write a more in depth review of these in the audio section at some point but I wanted to replace the stock speakers with something that would work well with the factory amp and provide a slight upgrade, these are definitely it.
