My credo
it is easier to fix and understand than "her"
It definitely has one determined 2.9 in it. He'd be dangerous with a 5.0.
well, thats just it. i admire the patience and creativity of working with these with mostly ranger stuff. it means allot more to watch a rbv powertrain do crazy shit with some mild axles/lift/tires verse a 500 hp rockwell monster.


i never had the patience for it and it costs big to go with more power.

i would have to say bray d has about my most favorite rig, but this damn thing is growing on me.
Thanks man! Thats a hell of a complement lol.
We all know my truck does not compare with BrayDs. I respect his truck a lot. He was able to drive it across the country TWICE, wheel and drive it home. Incredible.

My truck is strong, simple and cheap. I would like to build a truck someday that can wheel hard and drive daily. Someday. For now I will keep on beating the heck out of my little 2.9 lol.

It definitely has one determined 2.9 in it. He'd be dangerous with a 5.0.
:icon_rofl: Maybe I should just run with the 2.9 til she decides to quit. Heck, that might be another 5-6 years.

Thanks man. Yep, she is all stock except the axles. 2.9/FM146/BW1350. 235,000 miles now and I even plowed with it for 2 yrs. The axles are stock too minus gears and lockers. No truses or anything like that. I push that truck hard and it takes it. Most of the time.
I have less money in that truck than it would be to buy a new 500cc 4x4 ATV.




Speaking of... Who has the video of my doing the Blue Berry rock crawl? The one where I gassed at the top cuz I thought it was over....

Bummer. Just got an email from IT. My PC is taking up too much bandwidth. I ignored it. But now I got a personal visit LOL. Will have to load the next one at home :(

Here is a snap shot of the video I wanted to load. I had to split it into 2 separate 6 minute videos.

Well after the full inspection I not only screwed the ujoint but I broke the lip off of the yoke that holds the cap in but not the one that came out. Also I believe I bent the driveshaft. Oh well still no body damage.
