I did not know that the axle tube was that thick, dang.

I cut off 9.25 inches off the tube, so my end width will be 0.5 inches wider than the ranger stock TTB width.

What was your thought process behind this? I can't even begin to imagine why you would want it that narrow.

Were those turn-out boots? I have a pair at my house, they were my dads a long time ago when he was an engineer, now he's dept. Cheif

He wants to keep it narrow for the trails at turkey bay

^This. Full width vehicle will have a difficult time getting down the trails.

Yes, the 60 has 1/2" thick tubes, which is one reason why it is so heavy. It took a while to cut through that thing, too!!

Kris answered this question, but about a 1/3 of the trails we go on at TB are really narrow, FW would not make it down them without turning the truck sideways to squeeze through the trees...

Yep, they are. When I received the new turnout gear for my department, I started using these around the house. I ordered these new and do not have much use on them. I also use these when I have to do road surveys/cleanup...

You said it Dustin!!

I want to know what the hell this things going to be.... If 40s arnt enough.... Plus I was thinking my 33s just about rubbed on my radius arms if your Dana 60 is ranger width or close to it arnt the 46s or 54s or 66s that your throwing at this thing going to rub like crazy?

 

[RangerSVT]

I can't believe I finally got you guessing, Kris!! You're not thinking like a Ford owner. A 60 is not a 35 !! I'm not going to have traditional RA's in the traditional spot...You will just have to wait and see
