    Safari Pacific MX2 Build

    Ha ha we were typing at the same time. That sounds like a good approach, one that I wouldnt think of due to lack of experience.

    Safari Pacific MX2 Build

    I have been following your work for a long time on here and on your website before that. I love your work and how clean you keep your builds. I have to agree with you when you say simple and light is what works. Personally I would stay with the ranger because of the sweet setup you have so far...

    5.13s VS 5.14s

    yep they do this so that when your in 4wd they front wheels will be pulling therefore you can still steer. wheas if your rear was pushing faster than your front is spinning you will have trouble steering.

    Axles for ranger(Debate)

    yeah if you beat the piss out of it i would go bigger but i dunno if you wanna go rockwells unless your thinkin really big. They are not really streetable without 44+ inch tires. The sterling is an excellent choice and you can find em cheap. There are several versions. 10.5 inch ring and pinion...

    Axles for ranger(Debate)

    dana 60 and 14 bolt is a awsome combo but not needed for 35s. Good luck getting a dana 60 from a 79 f-150 cause all the ones ive ever seen came with dana 44s. but if you can get it and the d44/d60 is a good combo. The f 250 dana 44 is a good axle (3" 1/2" wall tubes and dual piston front brakes)...
