How much power did that bring back? As well as how much modifying I would I need to do the 4406 later then? Fit it in the same hole?

So, at the local junkyard, transfer case sells for about $130, so with all of the other parts, probably just a bit over $200. Not including the whole V8 and trans swap, hopefully do everything at the same time so I don't have to bother with getting an awd transfer case to hold me over till I can...

One of the guys I was about to look for a write up from actually, perfect lol

How difficult, much, and long do you think a manual t-case install would be? I'd be doing all three, the 5.0 v8, the transmission for it, and the 4406. Better gas mileage too since I can make it an actual 2wd, as well as it should help with the lack or power to the tires that I currently have. I...

Well, the ranger bumper fell through, dude meant to set it as a pickup only, won't ship it all the way from Wisconsin down here to Florida, so that's a bust. Back to square one.

Just a small update: swapped out the green lens for a blue one from a '97. Edit: some picture at night

I'll post this up on facebook as well, but I ordered a 98+ steel ranger bumper to throw on. Need ro recoat it, got some surface rust, but overall not bad. Its 3/8 and 1/4 thick, even has two other outer mounts that even the seller isn't sure what were for, says maybe for installing it on a...

That is very true!

Good luck on fixing up the '97, welcome to the forum!

Oh yeah, I'm pretty much going to guarentee one day she'll be straight axled on some 35s at least. But yeah, need the funds and place for it. Depleted my funds a good chunk for the current setup, need to get back to saving and find a job with more pay.

I can see about asking around, thanks!

Let me know how that goes, might as well save some cash. I don't think I get to go often enough or do crazy enough to be worth a new diff, when I either get another vehicle as an offroader or have another daily, it'll be a different story. Like I'd love to straight axle her, but I don't have the...

I don't go as far as like rock climbing, but there as some areas that I'll attempt climbing up a hill, still not rock climb level but kind of close. What do you think overall would be best? New, stronger diff or just regear mine? Cheaper and easier, more beneficial down the line

Yeah, I got some of that, but as said, not the most knowledgeable on these. I don't mind doing the detroit one if it's good and worth the price. But what would leaving one steel out for more room do?

Haven't gotten back to the locker search, but there, both the kit and the 4.56 regearing from Ford themselves https://accessories.ford.com/products/8-8-4-56-ring-gear-and-pinio...

Thank you, do you right off hand have a link for a better locker choice? If not I'll go back and search again in a few

So, I should be able to get these two, take it to a shop, and be done with no issues? Of course I'd buy two of the regearing kit so the front matches and I don't destroy the truck, but it's not missing anyrhing I need? Just take it up with these, ask them to do the regearing and the locker while...

So now I guess the question is, jump up to 4.56s, or go with the 4.30. I don't ever tow anything, not yet at least, found an amazing deal on a mudder that I may have to break on and tow home and around, but other than that. Could go up to the .56 since eventually I'll be lifting her a bit more...

Every other week, I'm across the river from work, meaning I have to be on the highway for a few minutes, beyond that its 15 minutes to work on backroads, out of a out a 20 minute drive. The other week is straight up backroads. But if I want to go anywhere like I did today to trail, highway for...

So I'll say it again, gas mileage going to be a heck of a lot worse, one or two gallons will hurt but may be tolerable making about 15-16 on average now? Not exactly happy with gas prices these days. And I don't get to trail as much these days due to work and truck work itself, but 4.30s...

So, opinions, about half my driving most days is highway, or highway speeds. 4.10s from what I can find and figured, aren't happy with that, which is fine, can keep the speed down. But it'll help bring my acceleration and offroading capabilities back after my swap to 32s. But I want y'alls...

Hopefully she ain't got a lot for you to do and you can finish! Need to get her done and back to tearing down the trails!

Hows the engine project going? Think she'll be roadworthy soon?

Well she did good on the trls I took, only issue I had was that the 3.73s decided the 32s are too much and had some trouble pushing power. But otherwise it turned out well, the new CV axles handled everything just fine, I'd recommend the Trakmotive ones for others going the TT route. Too bad...

Not a bad idea, for now I think I'll just nab one of the guys from work to help me load it up. Yeah, I've seen some vans with air conditioners in the window, can't even imagine that hassle lol

Anybody feel like trying that place out? Sometime in late April or early May? Should make for a fun trip whether you stay a few days or just the day. Anybody is welcome to tag along, and as said, it's all free. See if we can get some more people interested in this

Well, its finally done. The lift keys didn't fit so I just kept the stock ones and maxed them out, but she looks great! The Trakmotive CV axles seem to be working pretty well, taken through a ditch, up a curb, down backroads and highways, so far so good! Had to trim some of the plastic of the...

Good luck with it!

That we are, absolutely wild how much things have gone up lately

Thanks man, I'd love to order them, but if I go SOA, the skid plate won't help much on top of the leafs and I'm not sure how well they'll work for that? Edit: read through the thread and he confirms with its setup, can't use it with SOA, too bad, would've been nice to have

Well I know what I need! Sorry I'm not great with names, so I'm not 100% on who that is

Ahhh, so you did use the same leaf mounts just flipped? Where did you get the shock mounts? Found a kit from warrior that is supposed to be a full soa kit, with new mounts for the leafs and shocks, can't find anyone else using it though

That would be great if you do. Did you use the same mounts as before, just new perches?

Yeah I was curious, what all did you do for your SOA? Would like to crank the keys for as much lift as I safely can, which means the f150 leafs even under the axle may not cut it, to match I may have to do the SOA swap as well

Got the roof basket finally. 84" Arksen Roof Basket, definitely would be nice to get it welded together and possibly recoated in bedliner. But it works and looks nice

I'm going pretty much the same setup, just with the f150 leafs instead. I actually ordered those exact CVs so I could play it safe with the TT, were supposed to be in yesterday, but now I guess its anytime today or tomorrow. So yeah, I'll get those and the keys thrown in, if you don't have...

Not the greatest pictures, from a couple hours ago when I got home. But tires weren't supposed to be in until Tuesday, the wheels literally just shipped. Yet heres all 5 of the wheels and 3/5 tires. Even the driver said: I guess whichever of you got these won't be doing anything yet. Funkiest...

Theres the Hardrock Offroad Park in Marion County, FL. Seems to have trails for everyones needs, things that a stock truck can go through and trails that a rock crawler can do. Seems like it could make a fun trip, could do more than one day since it's right by Ocala, camp out there and trail...

As turdle said in the very start of this whole thing, they'll delete the thread if its sold out. It's also $12.00 for 2 and $17.00 for 4. You need to message turdle himself about ordering one, may be able to buy just one when you do

Anybody ever tried these out? Warrior SOA Kit 4610, just found it after trying to find an old one from superlift that ain't produced anymore. It comes with everything that should be needed I believe. Besides, its from warrior so I'm already thinking its at least decent quality after running the...
