Sooner than you might think.

So been working 7-14s so progress is slow. Got motor fired Chinese brake flaring tools suck redoing all the flares this weekend. Got exhaust done should hear it this weekend. Bought a new tow pig a duramax! Yeah it's a Chevy but price was right and it's plush. Got some h2s powdercoated and wrapped them in big km2s and cranked the torsion bars.

What do you have going on for rear suspension? Did you do the Chevy spring swap? What is your wheel base?

 

[RANGERROD]

No didn't do 63s like everyone else I used cage offroad early bronco 3.5" leafs. I don't like how far the 63s hang out shackles drag on everything. Lots of my buddy's have went from 63s to the 52" chev springs for this same reason.

 

[Grunizzle]

Did you change your spring hanger positions at all?

 

[RANGERROD]

Yeah new spring hangers rear axles forward 12" front axles forward 3". I think it's about 117" wheelbase.

Got pissed took it too a shop in town to finish the brake lines. Here it is on the trailer.

Finally got the power windows to work.

And finally went to put it into gear nothing no reverse first nothing. More tranny fluid looked at my transfer case shifters. They were in neutral solved that drove it up the street for the first time in 8 years pretty big day. Need shock mounts transfer case vents a little wiring and I'll be driving it around.

 

[RangerSVT]

Always feels good to drive it again after an upgrade ! Glad you got it going

[RANGERROD]

Shock mounts got tabs and brackets from ruff stuff bent my own hoops. 25.5" to frame 5.5" up travel in the front 6" in the rear. Still need bump stops and a bunch of little stuff.
