yup. well we had people there to pull him out. and as for the going over stuff... i think we solved that today. he should have a video of him going over a few things up here soon

i know your happy with the way the truck sits now but scince we welded it today id say these are the last peice to the puzzle. jeep xj coils they're much softer then the rangers you have in and it'll flex like crazy. for referance the rangers have a 500lb spring rate so it takes 500lbs to compress them one inch roughly. the jeeps are 150 lbs to compress an inch. so at ride hight they'll be the same hight but will make it easier to flex and keep traction on the front end

[kris97ranger]

[kris97ranger]

alright... im the only person posting here... and having seen the goodies that you picked up yesterday i shall say once again... UPDATE THIS DAMN THREAD!

 

[kris97ranger]

we started making a frame for the seat thats going in the bed for when he goes to the local mud bog.

then we got bored and threw some 4 wheeler tires on his lawnmower which resulted in

also on the may 24 weekend he went out and swamped the truck so we pulled the carpets out and rock guarded the floors

then we started grooving his new tires. 38.5x18r15 tsl's.
these arnt finished. he also cut horizontal through the chevron shaped blocks but used the #5 blade for that. the rest was all done with #3

Damn what did you do to break the rear end on the tractor? Was it the tires alone?

 

[kris97ranger]

im not entirely sure... but im gonna guess it was either the doughnuts or the off roading/ trying to crawl with it lol

ya we were wheeling that thing pretty hard climbing sand hills and onto rail way ties, and the sparks coming out of the front end .... priceless having to cut ur yard with a push mower shittty


kris is right i have not up dated this in a while

but i have not had time i been sick for 2 weeks with iv in my hand and money has ran out, and then the truck getting swamped in the back of some hilly billys back yard where they hit my truck with a backhoe and busted all my tow straps. its been busy but they truck is looking great and driving great just small problem with the fuel getting to the carb and stuff but coming along great

Your braver then I am to go into stuff like that without a winch, but now its safe to say you can go through about anything, now to see if it can go over about anything.

ya a winch is some thing i am looking into !!! but money is tight, and it went over a tree and some deep ruts and a hugh hill climb that was pretty good at

i know it high but i like it lol
