Decided to start a thread for my build that Ive been planning for a while. Ive got a pretty good idea of what Im going to do but any suggestions are well appreciated!
Starting with a 2000 Ranger
Currently:
3.0
M5ODR1
2WD
Extended cab
Hopefully will become a 4 wheeling machine
Ive already got:
2 D44's, a front and rear
5.13 yukon gears for both
ox locker for front
drive flanges instead of selectable hubs for the front
all bearings and seals needed to do full rebuilds from Spicer
steering box from my previous wheeler (88 ranger)
Potential problems:
I know that the frame isnt ideal but that doesnt mean it cant be done.
The front end that i have has a passenger side drop. Also not ideal but cant beat dirt cheap. At this point considering 2 options. Number 1 would be to use a passenger side divorced tcase (np205?). Number 2 is to swap to a 4wd extension housing and use the manual 1350 that i have lying around and another tcase(unsure of what tcase to use) to build a passenger side doulbler
Plans:
leaf sprung front and rear
MINIMAL lift
38's
some kind of locker for the rear
more crossmembers
No pics at the moment. Looking to bounce ideas for now
