Kyle M's Ranger Rebuild

[kris97ranger]

You guys better be pulling on my leg..

 

[CheapThrillB2]

I bought the axles

 

[Kyle M.]

Ok, well either no one cares or no one believes me.... I didn'tsell or scrap anything, but I did consider selling it at one point.

So......

Got it out to the Sand Lake carnival where Rocksolid Performance put on a obstacle course. Decided I would run in the buggy class, probably a bad idea but hey, it's all about having fun right?

So after waiting all day I finally got my chance to run, take off, doing good then I took a turn a little too soon caught a rut wrong and had to stop and back up to straighten out, took off from there and got to the wall where the hole in front of it was full of water, I splashed thru it and I think the truck took a big drink of water and stalled. I finally got it started and took back off with time to make up, went good on the second lap until I jumped into that same hole a little too far to the right... This time I rolled up on my passenger side and stalled it. People came and flopped me back over and iI took off again. But I was done, I couldn't steer. I ended up shearing off the sector shaft at the steering box.

All in all, I got third out of 3 but I also won the $100 wow prize lol. All is good, now I just have some stuff to fix. Here's the pics I have.
Loaded and ready

Racing

Aftermath

Not sure what's going on with my toe.... Last I checked tie rods don't grow, but somehow my toe is way out, I don't see anything wrong yet.

I also bent my leaf spring

I blame it on my new sticker

 

[kris97ranger]

Bent high steer arms would toe out i think

 

[Kyle M.]

I don't have high steer. Maybe a bolt is bent in my tie rod. Hoping I didn't bent my axle or break a king pin or knuckle. Gonna tear it down and check it out.

Time to go full hydro steering.

Oh, I knew you wouldn't sell it.

I would've freaked if I saw those posts...

And I'm in love with this badass pic!

Must say, this needs to be your new aviator.

So glad you didn't sell it.

Is that Randoll Dorn's Explorer?

 

[Kyle M.]

Who? What explorer?

 

[Josh40601]

Looks just like "Demon4x4"s explorer

 

[Kyle M.]

No, that's "let's blaze" or something like that, he is a CTOR member, I built it for him this spring.

 

[Kage]

Damn boy! Glad to see that you're still treating it gently!

 

[Josh40601]

oh, ok. cool.

 

[Kyle M.]

Treating it nice as always!

Well, I was going to ask how you shear off a steering shaft. But I figured it out!

Sweet vid!
