thanks i'm getting pumped about it. this has been in the making for 3 years and i am so close. it should be drivable by next week.

 

[funinthemud]

i may have missed it but are those 37s?

38" i know i'm gonna break stuff. but i like to push the limits. plus i had 35's on my b2 with the d28 and never broke anything.

meh its all in how you drive. unfortunatly i dont have a ranger anymore but im running the same tires on my samurai in the 33" flavour and im always told the axles wont hold up. to which i respond "well i havnt broken anything in the last 10 years, i think it'l be fine"

and right now im building some landcruiser axles for it and stepping up to a 38" swamper sx and am getting the same crap about how im gonn abe breaking axles. we'll see

Keep the skinny pedal away from the metal, and you will be fine. You start driving it balls to the wall, you WILL break stuff. No ifs, ands, or buts, about it. Ask Foxracin. He drives his balls to the wall and breaks stuff all the time. I drive mine pretty hard too, and break stuff. Take it easy, your axles will hold up, at least for a good long time.

yea i learned from the b2 that its more about finesse than skinny peddle. but with this suspension being a world of difference i think i will be able to get myself into more trouble than the b2 would let me.

oh yes... Especially in WV. Are you going to be stomping around Harlan and places like that?

 

[4.0B2]

never heard of it but looks like checking into. i like trails and technical stuff, not so much the mud.. its fun every now and then but i like crawling around stuff that most people think "ur gonna go up that with a truck??"

 

[4.0B2]

yeah.. smorr, superlift.. that type stuff?

 

[funinthemud]

yes!

 

[88_Eddie]

sounds like my type of guy (no homo) My Ranger has never seen "mud". Puddles, yes. Mud, HELL NO. I'm too lazy to clean it. lol

Ask 4.0B2 about the things i take my truck through....

Land between the Lakes, Livingston, Black Mountain OHV park, Harlan, are all right there in eastern and south eastern KY. Those will soon be my stomping grounds...

Maybe we can take two Rangers and show some of the Jeep and yota boys a thing or two.

 

[funinthemud]

absolutely

 

[Josh40601]

BTW, i thought it was funny that you are into rocks and your SN is "funintheMUD"

LOL

 

[kris97ranger]

i like every part of 4 wheeling. i like rocks/mud/trails. i have no predjudice. i do run alot of bogs though.

josh. the trick to a clean truck is after the bog you go park your truck in a river... or drive around in a lake up to your bumper. no cleanup!
