Dang I already made plans. I've been using my ranger for building fence on a buddies ranch. Hauled supplies up a canyon yesterday. It was all slick green grass on step hills but she did good. Then today I hauled posts up into a saddle that I didn't know if I'd make it up to cuz the hill was so steep. But she made it without a problem. Gonna go back up there in the mornin to put in another H brace.

I've got a 59" wide ms to ms dana 44 for sale this is truly a full floating rear dana 44. It is custom built. I bought this housing a few years ago with the intention to put it under a rig but I went with full widths instead.

Chromoly shafts
4.88 gears
Detroit locker
Flat flange instead of a yolk.
Warn premium lock out hubs that are drilled and tapped with Allen head screws to keep them from unintentionally spinning.
Stock drum brakes.
5x5.5 lug pattern
