A little update today, it has been quite a while since I have been on. About 3 weeks ago I changed where I wanted to go to school. So I am moving to Portland in December. Unfortunately the ranger is not coming with me, so I got a new commuter bike. I plan on coming back to Medford for a few weeks over the summer to do a local offroad race. So that is why I am selling a bunch of parts off. I also decided it is way more fun to go fast then to rock crawl. So I welded the rear of my truck tonight and I have a few suspension mods I have in mind. Anyways, if you want a dana 60 or sterling PM me.

Did a little work the past 2 days, welded up the holes in the back of my cab. Built an exhaust hanger, fully welded my sub frame gussets and I moved my maxxis tires to the front and the swampers to the back. Next step is to build a spare tire and jack mount in the bed.

Then I took it to do a little testing.

Color me impressed, I was able to hit some good sized whoops at 30ish. No where near what the race truck does but for what my truck is I am very happy. I LOVE the welded rear.


Plans of now are:
Explorer 8.8, hopefully geared down, and welded.
Deavers, smoothies finish the bedcage and mount tools, spares ect.
Bronco 2 fuel tank (ghetto fuel cell)
Smoothies up front and longer coils, same PPI.
Bumps all around.
Build engine cage, rebuild engine.
Finish cab cage.
Gusset anything and everything that might break.
And get 4 BFG Bajas 33x10.5s and new wheels. keeping my old wheels and tires as spares. ( the owner of the toyota race truck has some extra bfgs that he wants to sell at some point)



BEAT THE PISS OUT OF IT!






Obviously this will all take place over the next couple of years. But hopefully I will race it locally next summer and find more weak links that I can build up!

1st vid is about 30 mph, second is about 40. For being basically stock I am really happy. Just needs shocks and bumps and straps and some beef and it should be really fun
