89 Linked Ranger Build (LOTS of pics)

[Mud-Nut]

i vote links and the 4bt would be nasty but heavy dont yea think?

Common now, it's lighter than a 6bt!!!! So it can't be all THAT heavy, can it? LOL! Just kidding. Seriously, the extra weight would be one of the issues with the 4bt.... But all the torque would be cool.

 

[wheelaholic]

yea it would be cool espically with some deisel puffs but jeeze you wouldnt want it to tow around your f150 would you

The least of our worries is that front trac bar mount.

I worked for the city last summer, and I've actually put up signs, and I've NEVER seen any sort of signs made of the material we used on the truck. Not even close. So I am very confused, but oh well.


How would you know if you wheel harder than me? I don't post any of my stuff on this forum, cause I wheel a '79 F150. This is my brothers Ranger, and he wheels it pretty hard core.

i agree, the least of your worries are the front trac bar mount, that truck has danger written all over it.

Not sure where you live but we actually have those posts here to hold up signs, regardless of whether or not it is for a stop sign or not let me break it down barney style for you so you can become unconfused. Its a horrible idea.

well, the fact that you wheel that 79 F150 (which i seen in pictures) clearly tells me you dont wheel as hard as me, because you arent capable of it, I added that to stop you from trying to bash me like you did JohnnyU and to further push the point that I know what kind of things work and dont.

As for your brother wheeling hardcore, i think not... i seen some pics of him flooring it in a mud hole and he cant stop himself from driving into ponds.

We mostly have mud around here... We also have a few fun sand pits, and a few places with mild rocks. Might not be crazy hills and rocks compared to other places, but I personally think that those two pictures are pretty cool. But, if you don't, I'm sorry our wheeling isn't as "hardcore" as yours, but at least we have a BLAST out there doing it and make annual videos that many people really seem to enjoy!!! So I'm not worried about someone on a forum claiming to wheeling harder than us.

As for the rest of your comments, PM me if you have any problems with me. I'm tired of cluttering this thread.

My brother cut out the center section today.... Easier to store everything this way too, we can just throw out the center section and keep the axle tubes and inner C's.

Nice and thick axle tubes!

 

[NMB2]

please forgive me if i forgot something, but you traded a ford Dana60, for a dodge/chevy dana60 just to cut it up?

 

[Mud-Nut]

Yup!!! It was a Ford LP60, with 30 spline inners, and 18 spline outers... Or something like that?

 

[NMB2]

oh shit, the OLD D60's.

 

[Chance]

I second that...

Sooo... what's the plans with the front axle? 9" hybrid?

Sorry I stopped reading and just looked at the pictures after all the bs.

I like the build though.

 

[fordman4x492]

dude i like the build and i like the set up.

im not the bs kind of person. i read this whole thread. it took me 3 hours to read every post and there was alot of bs.

you and your brother gave me lots of ideas for my 88 ranger project.

good luck with the build!!!!!!!

 

[Mud-Nut]

Thanks guys!!!! Glad you like the build. Yeah, the plan is 9" hybrid.

 

[MAranger]
