I dont have a use for a doubler (for now) but think that it would be sick as hell to have on my truck. But transmisions and transfercases are like looking into a human brain to me.

 

[escort_gts]

A doubler would be cool to have but not sure how it would be as a DD?
maybe in the future.

 

[kris97ranger]

bray dd's his truck with a doubler so it can be done but from what ive seen doublers are like the beginning of the end. cause they seem to get ppl trying things that break alot of other stuff then the upgrades start comming fast

 

[disciplerocks]

Thats what I am afraid of lol.

 

[dangerranger83]

Same here, i have yet too fully see what the stock low gearing can do for me.

 

[kris97ranger]

all these ppl doing doublers have me wanting to put one into my buddys mazda and if i break my 5.29s in the samurai it'll go back to 4.10s and get a doubler

it just makes more sense you can build a doubler for the same cost as gearing the diffs and keep your strong ring and pinion and get more gearing options. that way you crawl when you want and when if you get into mud you dont just rev up to 5000rpm right away

 

[disciplerocks]

Maybe you should run a second tranny like gwaii lol

 

[kris97ranger]

haha id get way too confused with like 5 shifters.... plus the truck is wayy too short for that even though its the longbody version.

whats the plan if/WHEN you start blowing shafts etc? you have already got the 35ttb to flex pretty well to tear it out now...

 

[disciplerocks]

Keep 35 shafts stocked up until I can swap to a D44 TTB.

 

[kris97ranger]

sick... you already do the 760 joints full clips? or just gonna say screw it and bust all the 35 shafts

 

[disciplerocks]

New joints, but not 760s and yes full clips. Screw it I'll bust shafts.

 

[kris97ranger]

yea doesnt make much sense to put $ into the 35 when you know it isnt sticking around.

i always thought that the dana44 and dana35 ttb was about the same strength shaft wise? i know they are the same u joints, just asking cause when i get around to getting another ranger i wanted to go dana 44ttb but now im considering dana 50 ttb built with dana 60 insides

 

[Boggin]

Clips? I havent used a ujoint clip since Ive started welding. Lol

 

[disciplerocks]

Full clips and welded caps

 

[Boggin]

Full clips and welded caps

**** the clips. 4 clips on each u joint, and 3 u joints on the ttb front end, lets call it 5 including the drive shaft. that makes 20 clips. 20 clips are wayyy to much weight to be on the front end when flying jumps. i like to land on the back bumper and continue in a wheelie.
i thought everyone done that?
