Alright a little back story, my gf bought a 94 ranger to dd bit the bed was garbage so she sent me to get a parts truck for her (silly girl.. ill explain later)
Came home with this 97 3.0 stepside for $800 its already on 38.5 boggers
Used to be so clean... lol Probably coulda put fenders and 33s on and ran it as a dd
So i pulled the box and proceeded to wheel this thing all winter
Did some trading and ended up with a tube bed
First real mud run it was open/open and the truck did ok but i cant wheel an unlocked rear so i got home dragged the Lincoln over and proceeded to do what i figured would be a death sentance to the 7.5, hasnt broke yet
Went on another local mud run and blew the slave
So then my regular wheeler is having issues so this truck came north for our may 24 trip
Was a good trip nothing broke. Let my gf drive apparently she drives offroad like tim cameron lol
Hard to tell but the front tires are about 2 ft off the ground
Came home with a few dents
Got home sunday ran over to my buddies farm aaand
So i pulled it all apart to replace the shaft and tacked all my u joint caps
And figured seeing as i found a weak link why not make it weaker out came the Lincoln again...
Which worked good until i went to my buddies dads farm
Got wedged between two trees ended up breaking both front shafts and the steering box
And thats where the build begins ill update more later gotta start work now
