Deranged 3.0 - The Build to End all Builds (At least what I tell my Wife)
Deranged 3.0
I am once again re-building my truck. I had a pretty good combo last year that performed quite well. It did however have its weaknesses and areas that needed improvement. Instead of just fixing the few things I decided to start from ground zero again and use my 79 F-250 frame and powertrain as a platform instead of the weak ranger frame. I will be moving to 42" TSL's on H1's, Dana 60 Frt w/ 5:13 and detroit locker, Dana 80 rear w/ 5:13 and detroit, 460 CI BBF, built C6 manual, and np205.
Other Mods will be roll cage, 16" SAW coilovers, winch, full hyrdaulic steering, 4 wheel disc brakes w/ hydroboost.
These are some pics of the start of the project which meant a complete disassembly of the truck and scrapping out the unneeded parts.
Video Of it in Action - 5.0 HO, full manual AOD, full width 44/9" with 5.13's ----- http://s627.photobucket.com/albums/tt351/deranged57/Deranged/?action=view¤t=100_3358.flv
How it looked last year w/ 38" boggers:
Teardown:
Cab Mocked onto F250 frame - Making New Body mounts
Decided to go the truggy route
Axles
Hydro-boost
Hydraulic Steering
Np205 Mount
Back Half
Replaced the front 36" of the factory frame with 3x5 tube for a better and stronger platform
How it Currently Sits
