So I have been away for a while (sold my last truck), but it is time to get back into the game. I was wondering if anyone has bought the "Jeep hubs" lately or are they not available anymore.

I searched to see if anyone had already posted these but I just though I would throw up a few pictures of the new radius arms I just got. they are pretty beefy that's for sure.

Anyone have any experience with them? Are they as weak as they look? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/83-97-Ford-Ranger-4x4-Extended-radius-arms-/230676484922?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35b563d33a#shId

So I have had my truck in it's current state for 2 years now. I want to make some changes this winter. I propose a few ideas, - leave the lift at 6" and add 36's or 37's - drop the lift to 4" and go with a true 35" tire or a 36" tire or even a 37 with generous fender trimming I am going to...

Had to go test my new front locker out yesterday. Works great - what a difference when all 4 tires turn:icon_thumby: Got a little cheaky at the entrance to the trail and tried to drive up the rock pile next to the gate, and did this by hitting my muffler :icon_confused: Poser shot at...

We made our way over to the Sunshine Coast on the first weekend of the month. Turned out to be anything but sunny....... Ferry ride over should have been the first warning about the weather that we were going to see this weekend. Our goal on the first day was to make it into the "Bible Camp"...

Warn makes there Transformer grill gaurd for the 93 and up Rangers. Does anyone know what the difference is between the frame on my 92 compared to the 93's. Warn's site says it won't fit a 92. Just want somewhere to mount my winch without having to get a bumper made up. Derek

Had our AGM for the club on Sat and then out for a run up Sumas in the afternoon. Lots of trucks - 20 or so - and no carnage either! Nice day to get out and enjoy the views. Derek

So I have the 6" BDS kit in my truck. After reading here I ordered the Skyjacker 6" pitman arm for my truck. After waiting for about 6 weeks it finally showed up. What a difference between the two! Steers so much better now - every lifted truck needs this pitman arm:icon_thumby: Derek

We headed down to Walker Valley OHV park yesterday for some fun in the forest. Was a good shakedown for the new truck and it worked pretty good even without the lockers (still waiting on delivery). Need to do some more fender trimming and make some rock sliders but other than that was pretty...

I started to get the stereo install rolling in my new truck as the stock speakers just don't cut it anymore. Plans are to go with 6" separates in the front doors and just some 4" in the rear for fill. I want to put a sub behind the seat but have not decided what to go with yet. I am using...

Got some parts for my new truck today so I wheeled it into the shop tonight and started cutting stuff out. Should have a locker for the rear in the next week or so and will then do the front gears at the same time. Decided to go with the BDS kit for now. Was going to be a 4 week wait for the...

So we have out grown my wheeling truck which was a Sidekick. Decided it was time to get something a bit bigger that would be easier to fit 35's under. Found this guy on Craigslist for a good deal. Needed a new head but otherwise in pretty good shape and no rust! It is a 92 with manual t case...

Can the extended radius arms be used with just the leveling coils? Going to be starting a new build soon and am trying to plan out how I am going to do it. Derek

Just picked this up on the weekend - 92 ranger extra cab. It's only a 2wd but should do just fine in the winter with some weight in the back. It has the 4.0lt and a 5spd with a posi rear end. A really clean truck with no rust - drives great and has so much more power than the B2:D Derek
