Added an essential piece any off-roader or country road traveler should invest in!

A fire extinguisher!

Lets just hope you never have to use it!

It's a good $20 insurance. I would hate to lose a whole vehicle over a small fire.


Spent 2.5hrs putting the front chunk, locker, shafts, and hubs on. Just a few pics.

Had to take everything up to the knuckle off, and had to take the shock off so the axle would droop low enough:

Clean, or clean enough surface....rtv, and go!:

These help....guide bolts, and I used the red rtv.....

I bought longer bolts for the bottom since I'm slapping the skid on hopefully tomorrow. Washers will take up the slack for now.

ALL DONE, it was strange......went too easy.......

Yeah, just waiting on back ordered shocks for my lift, and some extra money to lay down for an alignment afterward. Then my Duff/Bastard lift will be going on in all it's extended RA glory.

i know the feelin, im ready to get the damn ranger rolling...

time to start reading up on either swapping xj coils or EB coils into mine

 

[Ranger44]

Needs cleaned up and painted, but this is what happened yesterday afternoon:

It will provide needed protection for the aluminum centersection.

 

[Ranger44]

Sad day.......

Oh, and lift has to be sold. Or at least the extended RA's, we'll see what sells first. Need money, sooooo.....material things need to go. If interested go to:

Thinking if I lift the bugger, a solid axle would be better anyhow.
