If he's putting them on the outside of the mirrors like the 08+ Super Duties they shouldn't affect visibility at all.

I don't know what you have access to down there RSH but I got a set of "Kool-Vue" 06+ style mirrors for my truck. They are less expensive than the Ford ones and look every bit as good.

yeah i will get some aftermarket 06+ power mirrors
i can get them for 73USD the pair. not too bad i guess.
im planning to mout them this way

Are you holding out on us?

well the gears are installed and tested.
what a great improvement. the truck has a better take off and feels more willing to accelerate. even at 5th gear, if i give more gas it speeds up nicely, it has no weird hums, noises, vibrations or clunks, everything went out and in really easy and smooth.

i did a lil burnout try and its very easy to spin the tires now.
it will obviously change when i get the 31"s but i hope they wont bog it too much.

ok i took some pics.

gettin ready

the drive shafts are in really great condition, the oem gears too. not even a tiny bit of metal dust on the oil.

taking it apart, no turning back now.

since i was scared as hell, and helping my cousin i didnt took good pics while it was dismantled.
but i pic whored my dif cover.
is this supposed to be metal or some composite material? because mine is made of metal.

i really need to clean and paint the axle and frame

my new uphill top speed.
i couldnt test it on leveled road because of traffic, but im expecting to get around 95 as top speed. it was around 90 with the 3.73 ratio.
RPMs got a bit higher now. even it this is my top speed its fine, since im not building it to speed on it.

compared to what i had at 90MPH

just a memory now...(3.73 tag)

i hope i wont see that darn thing on the truck again

 

[TheTopher]

HOLY CRAP HE FINALLY DID IT! Now get yer ass up here and help me install mine.

 

[CHKNFKR]

about time man! now its time for a traction adder. my vote is spool

 

[Ranger Sport Honduras]

no i wont spool or weld it, ill wait until i can SAS it. besides the M/T's will improve my traction.

and thoper i would love to go up and help u out, bt i got no visa LOL

 

[TheTopher]

No visa? Since when did you need that to cross our southern border?

 

[Ranger Sport Honduras]

lemme get the other 3 tires then
ill have good gearing, good lights and good tires for the trip, Honduran Raptor

 

[TheTopher]

See ya soon!

 

[MountainMike]

Right on RSH! As far as I know the factory 8.8 covers are composite, your must be an aftermarket one. Looks really slick silver.

 

[Ranger Sport Honduras]

Thanks Mike!
well yeah apparently the 7.5 had steel covers

ok so it was a busy day today. Thats good for the bussiness.
it was a good day for my truck too!!
i got 2 new tires. and since i had no chance to take them to store at home i had to mount them today.

i hope next week ill get the last one so i can mount the front ones. dont worry i wont wear them much since im storing my truck and using the red one this week.
i did a little test by climbing a grassy hill i couldnt climb with the old tires(even when they had thread) and it went up with no trouble at all. This will deffinetly improve my truck's off road capacities.

some cell pics. ill try to get better pics later.

idk why they didnt grip as they used to

my truck, new tires and eggs. cant get any better

the tire reads 50 psi max.
im runnig them at 40 psi right now.
what do u recomend? i do load it up sometimes.

 

[CHKNFKR]

40 should be plenty.
