I'd you need the drill bit or the reemer, I have both. I finished my 1 ton TRE on the D44 a couple months ago.

You can get a 7/8" and a 1" drill bit at rural king (ruralking.com if you dont have one local) and use the tie rod taper adapter that slides into that size hole. Ive seen both sizes, and have mine setup to use that type...

Yeah, I could use a tapered insert, but I'd rather just taper the hole directly.

Or just run a rod end and use a straight hole.

Ran 3/4" Ruff Stuff rod ends for over 35K with no issue. Less than $50 to replace all 4 once a year.

Wow, it's been a long time since I updated this. Not much has happened, it is no longer my DD so most of the time it sits in the garage. It has the same tank of gas in there for the last 4 months.

But this year I plan on doing a bunch of wheeling, try to at least once a month all this year.

Ben, you might want to start running stabyl fuel stabilizer in your tank since it sits for any length of time. Trying to move within the next few months up to around henderson/evansville area...

Since life has settled down a little for me, I am going to make some changes to the ranger in the next few weeks. I have a trip planned at the end of March and need to get a few things changed.
Things on the list, b2 fuel tank, rear bumper, spare tire mount, steering change, hydro assist installed, saginaw pump installed,and possibly thinking of an ARB for the D30
