Ok... The parts chasing is coming to an end -- for now at least. I'm about to finally embark on the Ranger project that has been so long in the waiting/planning stages.
A couple of pics -- yes, I'm really starting to work on this project!
The tow rig... Mama's '03 Trailblazer. 292 hp under the hood, reinforced tranny, tow rating of 6200#. It works and it is nice to drive.
The donor pig... Yuppers -- THIS pig is supplying a lot of the bacon...
Driver's side drop Dana 44 -- soon to get 8 lug, full floater hubs to match the rear. (And yes, the passenger side drop axle, t-case, transmission, etc., are for sale out of the donor!)
The rear Dana 60
The donor motor -- 4.0 liters of butt-kicking power (well, at least it will pull the truck around and be light weight!).
The "not-so-innocent-victim"...
My wife has named this project... When I told her what I was doing, and showed her a picture of what it would be, she just said, "Bring it!" Here it is "dreaming" of bigger and better days!
