BW 4406 from a 97 eff one fiddy. Another easy grab from a JY unless of course you already have a 205 lying around.

Not really that particular, just needs to work when there is snow and ice out. I'll be taking it to easy trails that keep away from the body, but i do love the super low gearing of a doubler. With the newer model gas tank in, I don't know how to get around it with a doubler

LMAO, I wish, I've been looking for a 4406 or 4407 since I did my Trac's V8 swap, what should be even easier to find, is an electric 4406/07 (expeditions, lariat F series: The 4406 uses a slip yoke like the F series 1356, the 4407 uses a fixed yoke like the FS Bronco 1356's just in case you didn't know) which is what I prefer to find. If you can find them at your local yard, grab one next time you go, as you will need it whether its now or later...

There is a 97-03 Expedition in my local yard... I can go pull it this weekend


Oh, as far as you getting this ol gal running, lets do it. There are a couple things i need to do to it to get it ready for transport, but we can discuss the deets over the phone. I know you know your shit when it comes to these trucks and the electronics in the newer ones (i always had the old shit) so if I am going to get this thing done in the timeframe i have, bringing it to you sounds like the best option. As far as powertrain goes, if you can get the v8 cheap, I'd rather do that.

 

[RangerSVT]

Ok, let me know how much it is, unless your getting that one for you...

There are 3 different ones the last time i went. If there are more than 1 T-Case, I'll grab us both one. If there is only one, I'll grab it and let you decide what you want to do with it. You can install it in D or install whatever is in ST now into D and use it for ST. I don't care, i just want selectable 4wd.

 

[Josh40601]

Current pics of D?

As she sits

Still up for the job Rick?

 

[RangerSVT]

Waiting for D to show up at my door brother, I guess we need to find a better transportation company, cause the guy you're using now sucks for delivery time!

[Josh40601]

Ain't that the truth

 

[Josh40601]

Tires are on, steering is done, and she is ready to be transported.

The steering is the 94 steering shaft, with an adapter to fit the 01 column.

I've been checking up on this build since I got my first ranger. Wow this thing has changed. Can't wait to see it up and running again.

 

[RangerSVT]

I plan to write a strongly worded letter to the owner of the transportation company for taking so Damn long in ky. That truck should have been here and finished by now...LOL

I would fire the transportation company if it where me, and just find another.

Yeah, its hard to fire the owner though. We'll just call him a slacker!

I hear the transportation company is broke. It's not the trip bringing it there, it's paying for the motor/trans/tcase and all the little nick nacks it is going to take

 

[RangerSVT]

I hear ya, and agree. But it is good motorvation!
