solid axle swap

Quaker, just ignore those that prefer to boost their post count by making pointless derogatory comments instead of actually helping others to learn more.

Excuse me? I don't mean to sound like a dick but goddamn, spending thousands of dollars on a big poser rig is just crazy, people don't seem to use common sense anymore, its sickening. Spend the money on a fast car and have fun instead of a big slow truck that can't be used for jack shit and gets bad gas milage. I mean, it's your rig, do what you want, just think a little before you do something that you may regret.
I put it right up there with some of my friends wanting to buy a new rig... Im like what the hell, you're 18 fuckin years old and you want to buy a new rig? Why? Buy a used rig thats reliable and gets you from point a to point b and that you can go wheelin' in and not worry about scratching it. Hmm lets see here, New expensive reliable shiny rig with payments OR used reliable rig without payments, hmm which makes more sense?

oh thats cool. what year was it?

Both sets of the Dana 44s were early 70s disc brake axles, rears were drum. If your wanting high steer steering look at 76-77 ish & older disc brake Dana 44s, around 77 GM stared using the 10 bolts up front & they did not come with passenger side flat tops, some of the late Dana 44s did not have passenger flat top either. Just look at places like Craigs list, Ebay ( look for local, shipping is usually a deal breaker ), or the for sale adds on any 4X4 forum to find them.

I build stuff for people that I'd find "stupid" myself, but it's their money & I've learned to not ask why when I'm approached with a fist full of money. Here's a pic of what I mean, it's a Donk. That's where the Chevy 1/2 ton axles I got for $150 went, I re-tubed the front axle to get rid of the differential & axle shafts to turn it into a 2wd unit.

Or you could just use an 8.8 out of a fullsize bronco or F150....

well i was trying to keep with the idea of not swapping the rear axle too.

that is a good piont though. i should have thought of that.

this is gay....so much for having pride in your work

Looks like a great idea if the area you live in is prone to flooding. That frames gotta be about three feet off the ground!

dude just take your foot out of your mouth and stop being an inconsiderate asshole....


open your eyes to the real world....

ohh... not a ranger... heaven forbid.

my point is.... maybe you need to open your eyes and realize that just because you like lifted trucks doesnt mean you have to have a piece of shit and tear it up. some people like to have something and keep it nice.

What's the Milf got to do with anything?


Lighten up guys. Everyone is entitled to do whatever they want with their own rig and their own money no matter how you may feel about it.

That part is all you needed to say to make your opinion known. the rest of it just makes you an asshole.

haha...
yea i went with my neighbors and their two kids to the 4x4 jamboree this year it was a ton of fun.

but the only thing i was drooling over was the rigs that were everywhere.... i ran out of room on my digital camera i took so many pictures

here is my slightly nice pirate style answer: why even waste your time money and safety putting this truck on 40's i think its absolutely rediculous to do all that crap and never go off the pavement, unsafe for others and you... i was trying not to be a complete a hole and would like to be an a hole about this crap if you posted this on pirate and you would want to kill yourself

 

[metalmacguyver]

didn't we just go through this?

 

[F150hybred]

I know I shouldn't be doing this, but here goes... what's the difference if he puts his truck on forties or some guy puts 500 hp in his "street" car? Is there really a difference? This person is GONNA spend his or her cash any way he or she feels fit. There's a name for what causes people to do what they do... it's called passion. Passion for what he desires. Dude, if you wanna put your truck on forties, then by all means go for it. just be sure to share the pics with the rest of us. Remember, there are others out there that would like to enjoy the fruits of your labors and not chastise you for doing so.

DUDE! He's illegally parked in a handicapped spot

my point is.... maybe you need to open your eyes and realize that just because you like lifted trucks doesnt mean you have to have a piece of shit and tear it up.

It does help though....
