Been awhile since I posted. I recently picked up a ford 203 and a 205 for a doubler build. Just finished rebuilding the 205 tonight. Right now I'm saving up for the adapter and output shaft.






Also I built a new transmission crossmember.


And if you look close you can see I moved my radius arms in some on the axle because my tires were rubbing at full lock. Now there is no more rubbing and I have full steering range back.




I got 2 new KM2's


And a new KM1 as a spare for 100$


Side not I just finished a full rebuild on my FZ1 because the previous owner was running straight water which froze this winter and cracked the head.



Did a some light wheeling out at 5 mile pass.

I was at the junkyard yesterday and happen to see another zf5 so i grabbed it. Mine has a crack in the tailhousing and with plans to do a 203/205 doubler soon I decided it would be good to get an uncracked one. I also picked up a power steering-a/c bracket that I can modify to fit the new psc saginaw pump I got for hydro assist soon.

I got one of PSC's performance saginaw boxes and started on a bracket for it.

Mounted the new pump but I haven't installed lines yet. I just had them made at lunch today.

got my pump on and going. Even without the hydro assist yet the thing turns much better than with the stock pump. It took me 2 tries to get the right length belt, I was about an inch a half too long the first guess.

I gotta say, this is really good build. Can't wait to see your full hydro steering setup.

 

[ascentpro]

Thanks! Hoping to get my hydro assist done soon.

Finally got around to welding some recovery points on my rear bumper that I have had lying around for a few months.

Somehow I missed your thread but your truck is baller bro. Can't wait to do some wheeling with that bad ass ranger. You'll outwheel my baby ranger easy peasy.
