Kirbys 1991 Ranger Build Up and Solid Axle Swap

1000 percent agree.


but, i dont have a stock powertrain. so running a dana 300 or 205 with a strong box or black box is on my all around list. that way i can keep my 410 gears. its cheaper or close to cheaper than regearing two axles and more options. i can run 31 to 44 inch tires on the road....just dont use overdrive with the big tires... 33-35 is what i usually use for street duty...unless i have military 37s...but 31-33 if i have to tow. the ol idi dont have alot of tow power.

Want to buy my 4 speed atlas? Just need to change the input around...

i would buy a 4 speed atlas for myself ....4500 bux...

i need tires. so a black box with my 205 it is.

if you buy me a set of inner air locks and 4 new 42 in iroks and fresh 16 in wheels, i might could maybe buy you an atlas 4 speed..

the strong box and the 205 isnt too much bigger than the atlas 4 speed....which is nice.


of course...still would like an atlas 4 speed....and a 6r80 or 10r80 with a p400 6.5.

I didn’t realize that I didn’t put the final
setup pics on here. I have been driving it since November an I have it some miles on it- both off road and highway.

I got it all installed an the tail shaft seal of the transmission was leaking. So I had to completely remove the transfer case and replace that dumb seal.

That gave me a chance to take pictures of how tight the shifters are:

I got the straight shifters and bobs from behemoth, but the shifters were too big to be that close together. They also didn’t have the shift pattern. A guy at my work has a lazer engraver- so he did the shift pattern. Another buddy milled down the shifters for clearance for me.

All installed and everything clears.
