Agreed...x2

you know... you dont need a rear axle to cut your fenders. set up the front axle or get the front suspension done

really though you could run the stock width 8.8 out back for a bit or even get some spacers like kyle. (wait whatd he do with his) or is there going to be a gear change with the new axles?

mostly im just really bored and cant ork on my own junk in the driveway cause its been raining all week. and no one else is doin anything in thier threads right now lol

 

[Andres629]

Yep, there is going to be a gear change, to 5.13's. And I'm not going to cut the fenders 'til I find some 38's 'cause it'll look stupid with 35's. lol
This is still a DD 'til the current 35/8.8 come out to go under my Ranger, and we're knocking out the SAS in a weekend down at the shop to minimize downtime. And 'til then, I still wanna wheel!

 

[Andres629]

Well, gone done some paint slingin' today!

whats goin on with the ranger?

looks good but when you cut your fenders isnt it gonna mess it up? also howd you get the gash there

 

[88_Eddie]

you shoulda slungdid some paint on that rear bumper while you were at it

 

[Andres629]

Kris, its just rattle can, give 'er a sand and spray green overtop. The gash came from my buddy's Ranger full on tobogganing on compact snow down a hill, and running into me. lol

88, the bumper is getting fully redone once the full-widths are in, so it's getting sandblasted anyway. No sense doing things twice... HA. Too bad I don't take my own advice...

[Andres629]

Haha, no, I mean...

-Lifting & regear & axle(s) swap

-tear it all out, full-width
-'nother regear

[lethal-threat-b288]

what size swapers where those in this pic?

 

[Andres629]

They were 33x12.5
The driver's rear tire was a radial TSL though.

 

[lethal-threat-b288]

think i could run 35's with a 4" lift and cut my fenders?

 

[Andres629]

That's exactly what I'm running now...
