93 budget build! First build actually.

[93 Ohio Ranger]

Well i got pics like i said. I didnt get left side bolted up,well atleast the ubolts.

Heres how my temp gauge is mounted. Line is ran through a hole drilled in firewall.

You can see my ipod cable thats ran through the dash into ash tray.

Heres my bedlinerd floor and the wires ran along the door sil so there not in the way.

My ranger emblem finally back on and looking good.

Back window has some stickers. DC,Cherry Bomb,Cragar,Under Construction.

Excuse the giant disaster. Right hand side fully bolted up.

Assemblying the left side explorer leaf pack. All the plates are aligned just not in the pic. Forgot to get a pic of it in.... hahaha.

Also can anyone help me with a parts list for a d30 swap? What type of locker should i run? And for now im running 32's but will step up to 35's eventually. I want around 4 inches of lift and a nice flexy set up.

Okay can anyone help me on gathering a parts list for a sas with a dana 30?

Heres what im thinking for the dana 30. Im building it my self so its going to be a learning experience.

Im not sure on gearing. Im going to run either 33's or 35's but my 32's will be on till i get a pair.

Locker,i need something like the lunchbox type as its going to be a dd too and i cant wear tires out.

Now i wanting to do the same type set up dangerranger did with his recent d30 swap with the jeep arms. Will these work with what im doing?

Now what else would i need? I know transmission and stuff but that will wait. I just want to get a list of what i need and start gathering parts for the SAS!

 

[93 Ohio Ranger]

Ideas? Id like to know so i can start looking for deals and saving up.

 

[93 Ohio Ranger]

Okay another question. The whole build is all about doing it cheaply but still being a capable rig for trails and daily driving.

Would a d44 be better? I read that the d30 can not be unlocked at the hubs without a $1500 kit??

I found this and my buddy has the shaft i can grab off of him for cheap. Now what type of locker would i need?

Also looks like it was a leaf set up, what would i need for a coil spring set up?

Im trying to gather ideas and info so it wont take long to swap once i get all the parts.

looks like a waggy d44, also I wouldnt go over 33's for the d30

well for starts if you want a cheap truck ditch the 4x4 conversion thoughts once you start you cant stop and for all your dana 30 questions private message rangertoy he has done one on his and he is running 38.5s on his not sure you will get enough out of the 4" to run 35s i have a 4" rough country and 33s are tight add a body lift and you should be good and as far as staying low to the ground forget the body lift and trim the hell out of the fenders also something else to talk to rangertoy about. and extended radius arms will help the flex keep up the good work and keep us posted

Im no longer doing a dana 30. Just not worth it i wanna go full width 44. And the waggy is just like any normal 44 correct?

Im not doing a dana 30 anymore. And i know they can handle 35's fine my buddys jeep does it just fine. Im thinking a 5-6 inch suspension lift now. And i refuse to run body lifts there out of the question.

Fenders will get a nice trim.

Any help with that axle i posted on how id go about doing a swap for my truck? On what id need and some good places to get them.

 

[khoward]

yea rangertoy can help on the info for the axle swap and i think the 44 is a better choice dont know anything on the waggy 44 but as long as its a driver side drop with the right tools and know how it would be a simple job and yea the 30 is a decent axle pre 92 were shit but they have made a few changes since then and hold up well if taken care of

 

[93 Ohio Ranger]

Im still undecided on what to do axle wise. I need ideas on the mounting and which would be a better choice. I wont skimp on axles,ill lock them but im not looking to spend a million bucks.

 

[93 Ohio Ranger]

Well hopefully i can order my front coils soon. How the hell did you guys get the bolt off at the bottom of the coil? I got the right size wrench but have no idea how to get it in there. The drivers side seems pretty rusted but the passangers is fine.

mine came loose really easily but then again, I DONT HAVE ANY RUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[93 Ohio Ranger]

Well the more im thinking about it i think i am just going to do the dana 30 swap. Lots of info, pretty easy. Im only going to run 34' in super swampers max. It will also be cheaper for me in the end in my eyes.

Heres some seats im looking at having mom get me with my tattoo for christmas.

IM ALIVE!!

Been working and lifting to get into shape, i went to summit the other day and bought my self a chirstmas present.

2inch Skyjacker leveling coils.

They are going in next week and truck will be back in commision.

With christmas money i will be buying a 31spline 8.8 and rebuilding it and locking it. Will probably go in around the end of january.

What do you think i should use for a locker?


And im goign to grab a front axle also. I want to do a 44 but how hard would it be compared to a 30?
