Raceranger's 4x4 Build

[RaceRanger97]

Hit this driveline pretty good on the rubicon. Got it re tubed and back together, no more vibration.

Another weekend, another fun trail run and ruined driveline.

I had the front winch on my 1983 Ranger in a receiver with a receiver in the back and cable disconnects. As long as you don't fall on your ass moving it, it has its advantages.

i am surprised you do not have con specific drive shafts....some diy square 1/4 wall or something. worth the time to swap around. that place is brutal.

I think im going to build the next one out of heavier tubing and see if it helps.

See I think you need a heavy duty 2 piece shaft at this point... Get more of it up away from the rocks. I know they're harder to balance on lifted trucks but I'm pretty sure you know how to math it out.

yeah, kc cravens came up with a slick solution back in the day using stock front explorer driveshafts and a hard pillow block... he runs the red river area back then..


its been years since i run the rubicon but i have been out there with nearly every flavor of vehicle and the only thing i have is a custom stupid shaft for low speed.


back in the late 90s and early 2000s the toyota guys were already running square crap, but they were low power and doublers....


i got to experience the box before they ruined it.... place is big fun. how is soup bowl these days? is it still there at all? we camped spyder and had a zipline out there....was crazy fun....but that water was crazaaay cold too...
