It was a lot of fun in the snow, but can't wait to do it when it's dry. Make a camping trip out off it.

 

[Rowdy Fitzgerald]

Yeah that'll be a hell of a good time! Might be able to get a couple more people to go with us if we do that.

Lucky sob's I drove to truckee last night hoping to hit some snow but the roads were clear.

At the moment Ben, no. Rock auto

 

[Rowdy Fitzgerald]

What all do you need to get 4wd again? I replaced my auto hubs with mile marker hubs and haven't had a single issue.

I wanna go to live axles. Just need cv axles and hubs from a 2001 and up ranger. Maybe a 02. Not quite sure. I had manual hubs on mine and they sucked. 98-00 sucks with the vacuum hubs and plastic clips holding the Hubs on. I sold the hubs last week.

 

[stiluv]

i had issues with those hub falling off under heavy loads. ben you can also run live axles off a explorer. they are in every junk yard. or you can just sas that sum bitch all ready now!!!! get to it son

 

[Rowdy Fitzgerald]

Yeah I had the stock hubs fall off twice then I got the mile marker manual hubs and haven't had a problem.

Wes I'm so effing broke from moving! I still near a bunch of crap. I don't wanna throw the axle in the truck till I can gear and lock it. Still need steering too.

The only company that makes hubs for my gen ranger is rugged ridge. They suuuuuuuuck.

 

[Rowdy Fitzgerald]

What front axel do you have? What gearing are you wanting? I have a D44 lockrite with standard rotation sierra gear 4.88's that are about 6 years old that were installed but haven't been used.

Ben...Throw that fawker in! Steering isn't too expensive. Weld the carrier and gear it later! Get your red neck on!

 

[Rowdy Fitzgerald]

So I was searching flatbeds on the net and I found one that's basically what I want to build. Just with tool boxes in front of the tires and plates for the lights at the back of the fender wells.
What do you guys think?

Rowdy I have a d60. I think it miiiight have 4.11 gears in it. I'm not sure. Just gotta scrounge more parts up. Need to figure out if I want to use the fox air shocks I have or do something else. Also need wheels and tires. Gotta get back on the saving train. Also need a doubler and need drive lines and gears for the rear and ummmmmmmmm idk. I'm sure there is a pile of stuff I need to do it.

 

[Rowdy Fitzgerald]

Oh ok. That won't work then lol.
