daily doubler build

[Pt_Ranger_V8]

This man knows.

Everyone is right. I made the final cut for the 2012 Ultimate Adventure!!!

Disregard some of the details in the description of my truck. There's a typo or two (1454 t-case doesn't exist ). I emailed the web editor asking if he could change it, but if not, it wasn't a big deal. I know the rules, NO WHINING!!!

Not sure how much I'll be posting in the future. I'll be busy, busy, busy for a while. Wish me luck guys.

Kickass man! Have fun, and do your best!

Glad to here you made UA. It looks like a bunch has been done since the last time I looked at your thread I was seeing the discussion on bead balancing I have been running the airsofts on the 35's that were on the Bronco and have nothing but good things to say other than the hit a chuck hole and it will get goofy and then return to normal soon after thing. I am itching to go wheeing this year but so far all I have done is go fishing not complaining though.

PS: I shared your invite to UA on facebook I am excited you got to run with them.

Congratulations Bray!

Pretty cool that we have another member in the UA again.

Thanks again everyone. I've been super busy. Research, source, order, build, etc etc etc.

Wheeling for UA training this weekend.

From what I've read, a 760x joint is the same size as a 1310 d-shaft joint.

Does anyone KNOW (from experience) that a 760x joint will work in a driveshaft application?

I currently have a 760 spare and plan to go to a parts store to measure up their driveshaft joints. Just curious if someone already has an answer.

The 1310 has external retaining rings, the 760 has internal and has more angle ability, that's the only difference that I know of...

thats some good infor right there

Right. That's the only thing I know of as well. I guess I'll be swinging by Oreilly's with my 760 and calipers in hand.

I went through this the other day well months ago with somebody on here..... I will try and dig up my post.

Not the 5-760x..

The axle joint isn't the same as a 1310 joint like in most driveshafts.

The driveshaft joints is 1.06 x 1.06 Brg. Dia. (1310)

The 5-760x is 1.19 x 1.19 Brg. Dia.

Page 296 shows a 5-760X cap to be 1.188 in diameter

Page 291 shows a 5-153x (1310 driveshaft joint) to be 1.062 in diameter

Maybe a dumb thing to think about but can the end caps be switched/mixed and matched?

How does the joint itself allow more angle? Isn't that more related to the shape of the yokes involved?

 

[RangerSVT]

Yes, but iirc, its also the design of the joint itself having clearance for the yoke to pivot. I never actually measured the joints and bearings of the 2 joints. Thanks for digging that up and pointing that out ctb2

I think it would be because of the clip position. to have external clips the yoke would be narrower, and for internal clips the ends would have to be spread father apart giving more room to articulate.

That's my theory anyways...

Been pondering pretty hard on the cage build. Hope to get the interior stripped this weekend.

I'd like to do a cab cage through the dash. The dezert guys are doing some sick stuff:

http://www.dezertrangers.com/vb/dr-rides/82503.htm
http://www.dezertrangers.com/vb/fab-shop/153751.htm

Looks like most of them solid mount the cab, then weld the cab to the cage in multiple locations.

I would most likely isolate the cage from the frame with bushings. My question is, how much clearance do I need between the cage tubes and the body if both the cab and cage are rubber mounted, but independent of each other? I don't want my cab making contact with my cage.

Another idea - could I rubber mount the cage, then tie the cab and the cage together? Both the cab and cage would be rubber mounted, but would be welded together in multiple locations so they would move as one.

I'd rather them be independent, but I would hate to build a tight clean cage and have my roof/A&B pillars hit all of the time.

Thoughts?

with a cage in a regular cab you are going to need a helmet.
