Update on my 88 Ranger SAS

[bobbywalter]

if the deuce is nice i would have one hell of a hard time parting it for the ranger...

i mean the ranger is muddin fun as it is..

thats one hell of a tough decision there. better you then me buddy i would hate to have the swirlin in my bean..


my axles are matched set of 60's ...were mint too, from a 79 one ton ford...snow killer thing...i have them beat up pretty bad though the last 10 months

Finally bobby....some decent pics of the pile of shit....looks good. I still havn't gotten over to yur side of 75 lately to check it out, but now it looks like I'm gonna need to go for a ride in that pile to make sure it runs and whatnot......I like the old school mudders.....are those gumbos?

those 44 gateway mudders are not mine. i have 42's. i can access 44 bogs..and will have two 44 hawgs to pair up with two of the 42 iroks.


unless i just buy a set of 44 bogs. but with duece axles 44's are too small

working on link design still, havnt had much time to work on it lately tho

summit machine jimmy joints on the front of the links and ballistic flex joints rear side is what im thinking and triangulated center lowers with parallel outer uppers is whats working best so far with the frame and such
