Not Another CTOR Build

[94 4.0 5-spd 4wd ranger]

hey man, ive been following your build for a while now your b2 is nothing short of awsome! So i guess now with leafs up front it'll make it alot easier to go to a dana 60 when you come across one. Oh yea and the flex on that think is pretty crazy too! keep up the awsome work!

that was the point.....wanted to see how creative they could get........actually it hasn't been worse.

tired of limping a bad slave cyl.....leaks just enough that i have to add fluid often but still worked. I had to go the junkyard earlier today and get one of the plastic rings cause mine was missing on my clutch line. Thankfully i got one off without wrecking it and was able to install it on my quick disconnect. Worked flawlessly. Flywheel looked like shit, gonna have to resurface it tomorrow. Clutch dis was also [retty thin so got a new one of those as well.

Finally got around to cutting my hatch and slapping it back on. I will only run this temp. until i figure something else out.

i just put rollers on one side and drive over the fenders....




but now...full width..




..i am fawked






well it wasnt you then, it was a few guys, one with a sas cherokee, and a blazer. didnt like my front leaf springs, said it wasnt gonna wheel worth a balls up here where it gets rough. (they asked where i was from and i told em detroit)..so i asked where they have been..they started naming local shit, and stuff out past manton and back towards mio....i was fawking trying not to laugh about that...then i asked about out of state...where they go.



nothing.....


at that point i started laughing so hard i thought i was gonna shit myself...


so i asked what lockers and t cases they were running...no lockers, just lsd's and trutrac in the front of the blazer....


no winches either.

at that point i told them they should never judge a book by its cover....

a fawking growling ranger with d 60's and a beat winch on the front that looks like its been in a demolition derby isnt much of a indicator for them hard core boys these days i would guess... dont get me wrong...she is a real pile of shit but it gets me where i want to be


once i have my lockers in i will look em up...and see what they got, i just put the 60's in with a 600 dollar budget and no lockers yet..


in the mean time, i really want to see your rig...wheres it at? that sounds cool as hell

classic chevy and jeep guys they always rag on me for driving a ranger

Whats the upper shock mount off of?

A newer model Ford Superduty...

 

[CheapThrillB2]

yep, i was doing an alignment the other day on a lifted Super Duty and i was still in need of getting or making front shock mounts for the truck. I was thinking of reusing my older style f250 mounts, but i just didn't like of they attached to the frame. Then i noticed those on the truck and thought hmmm i might have to look into that. They were $23 a piece from Ford.
