03 EDGE 351w swap


Ya I've been to horse hole a couple times. Its ok up there. Rancho is awesome cause its no holds bar. me an my friends go out there a lot and shoot our guns and have fires and party with a bunch of people. I kicks ass out there. lots of mud and lots of trails. I like Redneck Yacht Club and Triple Canopy Ranch. You hear of those places?

sure have, haven't been to either though. if i remember right, redneck yacht club is in like punta gorda? and triple canopy is in north florida, i think. triple canopy's having a huge mud bash sometime soon but i doubt i'll be able to go.

i'm content with going to horse hole every two weeks, i love it there :icon_twisted:

EDIT: i just realized that my avatar picture was actually taken at horse hole lol
 
ya its in punta gorda. TCR is in Lake whales not too far from red neck yacht club. ya I noticed that about your pic.

Dont get me wrong I'd lovr to throw a sas in my truck but everyone does that around here and everything is much more fun and challenging in a 2wd truck. plus when i get my lt kit its going to be a blast. Check out the link for my signature thats at the 301 mudhole and where my profile pic was taken.

the 38's clear because of the body lift.
i'm using a 2wd A4OD trans(auto) and the computer off the donor truck
I've been driving a 5 speed for 7 years now and i'm sick of it. plus automatics dont throw themselfs out of gear while you're wheelin
 
ah i see. and i wasnt meaning the 38s wouldnt clear i just thought prerunners usually have like 35s max but i actuallly have no idea

ya as I've seen and know they run 33-35's but I'm just difficult and want to be difficult lol. I'll have more pics up by sunday. been busy at work and haven't had the energy to work on the truck this week.

Of course i'm not too focused on the suspension yet. just some future plans. my main focus is gettin the damn engine in the truck. hopefully motor build and in w/ the tranny next weekend.

:icon_cheers:
 
why would h get a 4wd??? to hav way more expensive repairs? it dont snow in FL

hey, man, we florida boys love our 4x4s just like everyone else does! it might not snow, but sugar sand sure is a bitch to get out of in two dig :icon_twisted:
 
No new pics yet. I started a new job at a ford performance shop and i've been slammed with people blowing their tax return money. I'll be bustin out a bunch of shit on the truck this weekend so check back sunday sometime. I'll have pics of the bronco and my buddies ranger projects too

You don't realize how much youve limited yourself until you go from a 2wd to a 4wd.......... repairs are cheap and easy (it's a ranger) you can rebuild the entire thing front/rear diffs, engine, trans, t-case for 600bucks.

Really it's daylight and dark difference.
a 2wd is useless for the runs we make, I don't care if it's locked with 50in tires and you have 500hp........ it wont make it, and it wont be safe because you'll be running 65mph through the woods to not get stuck. (running backwards naked through a cornfield has a better chance of turning out well)

BTW: I'd build a 4x4 pre-runner. that'd be original.

putting a 5.8l in a 03 is original enough for me. plus no one runs a solid axle in a prerunner, ever notice that? there are reasons why people DONT do certain things to their vehicles due to intended useages.

people dont call me "rabbit" because I keep my tires on the ground.....I've got plenty of places to run it and plenty of jumps to hit
 
Was there any progress on this?
 
I've made a lot of progress on this build I actually have a different thread that i've been posting a lot of pics on. just search my user name and it should show up with a similar title.\

the truck runs, drives and is almost done. I will have more pics posted after this weekend on the other thread, maybe try to subscribe to it. I've got a couple vids of it on youtube too
