Ranger Sport Honduras official build thread

[Ranger Sport Honduras]

make your own headlight switch.

I see what u did there.

 

[bobbywalter]

my switch tried to burn my truck down when i first got my truck, it was due to the fact when the truck was brand new it went through the ice and blew bubbles for a few days in houghton lake...some damage you can not undo without replacing alot of items. hidden damage like wiring is a headache in a half

its been on a three way toggle and relays ever since.

ohh i get it now.
i think ill just buy a new switch.
thanks for the tip.
what u think about my shaft idea?

 

[bobbywalter]

Here's the plan
I'll leave the rear part of my shaft as it is
then I'll cut it and add the exdentable thing to it.
I'm taking the t case rear output flange so they make a new flange that matches it to go on the front of the driveshaft.

(Yawn) Somebody wake me up when this is over-
Don't forget to take LOTSA pixs of shaft at machine shop !!

 

[Ranger Sport Honduras]

haha i cant promise pics, since i wont be there doing it.
i just want it to be done soon enough.

 

[Ranger Sport Honduras]

OK, the rear drive is finally done.
i had planned to install the 4wd trans tomorrow, but the machine shop guy came up with a great idea for making a front one without getting parts ordered from the States.
We will have to use parts of a Toyota front driveshaft, but i dont mind that.
ill update that when we get some work done.

For now, here we have the rear driveshaft building pics.

Cutting the slip yoke form the old driveshaft

part 2

point of no return, cutting my stock driveshaft

test fit

and done

dont worry, ill remove that old bearing later

now, lets make a new flange, so i can bolt this thing to the trans

drilled the flange bolt holes

welded.
the trans flange is just tackled in the back. not fully welded, dont worry.

shortening the driveshaft.

this sleeve will go between the 2 parts.

done driveshaft.

total cost: 60USD.

even here, 60 USD is really cheap.
Ill have to wait a bit for the front end tearing, since i still need brakes.
