Wheelin at McCaslin Mtn, WI

[Evan]

Finally got to go wheelin this weekend, after more than a year. I've done a lot to my truck since then, so it was fun to try it all out. Everything worked great, except for some fender rubbing up front and tight brake lines when I had it at max flex. This place was pretty sweet, and I found some pretty crazy trails. Since I was alone though I didn't get too wild and stuck mostly to rocks, hill climbs, and scouting. Made it to the top of the mountain, which was pretty steep. At the end the hill climb turned muddy and I had to give her a little skinny pedal.

She's getting a little rusty, but the body is still pretty sound. As soon as I buy a house with a nice permanant garage, she's getting a Ranger Cab swapped on with a 60 up front, 10.25 out back, and some 40s.

Here is where my front tire is binding. It's actually hitting the firewall, so there is not much I can do for trimming. I am going to bash the firewall in a bit with a hammer. The rear tires clear just fine at full stuff.

I think I need some F-350 brake lines:

The ProComp m/t's worked great. I had them aired all the way up, yet they still had good sidewall flex. I also got to experience a final crawl of 117. The gearing was so low that there were many times I'd have the clutch all the way out and the tires would be stopped for a full second, due to driveline play and windup. The trail was about 100 miles away, and I was able to cruise real smoothly there and back. I even had it on the freeway for awhile doing 70 MPH and keeping up with traffic.

Sweet man, i'm interested to see what a sport would look like with a ranger cab on it. Amen to the 60 and 40's
