Matt, It has been a long time since I was over here, but I was glad to read this thread. It is great to see you are back in action, RRII looks pretty awesome. Congrats! --Sean

Well guys, I really wanted to go with you, but the truck just isn't ready yet. I am going to try and make the Arizona trip, though. --Sean

I am one of those people that would rather pay a little extra for outstanding customer service and help a small shop, than pay rock bottom for bad customer service and help the big guys out. Especially when all I am to them is a name on thier computer. John is an excellent person to work with...

I think you guys just gave me a news blurb to run in Truckin' and Truckin's SUV that I am working on this month. Power of the press. ;) --Sean

Simple to fix. It is not the face that is too high, it is the needle has been pressed too far on the post. Just reset the needle a little higher and the problem will be solved. --Sean

It's fun during cold winter storms to go up there when it is snowing. ;) I've done all those trails many times. --Sean

I hear Truckin' will also be doing an install tech article on one silver Ranger. :D Mmmmm...boost. --Sean

Re: Questions Just e-mail Jason at US Speedo, I am sure he can answer any questions you have, and I am sure they will work on an Explorer. And I love them, the only time it is hard to read is at dusk, but otherwise they were a great mod IMHO. --Sean

Honestly, I gave up on the swap for now. Just not enough resources out therewho had any clue as to what I was doing. Ideally it would be perfect to find a '98-'99 complete left and right spindle, then I could just transfer all the parts over to my spindles. This is a project I still want to do...

I just sold a brand new set I had. Yay for Classifieds! --Sean

I bought the Powertrax, then removed it because it spit out axle shafts since there is no relief on its splines to capture the C-clip. If someone is going to offer an honest to God, engineered for out vehicle, front locker I will buy one. But I don't want to make the mistake of buying something...

I am hoping to have things done in time. In the next three weeks I expect to have the new RCD brackets, custom length CV axles, and limiting straps... There is so much new and different over last year, I don't know where to start, but I have 4.56s now and the new Bilstein 5150s in the rear...

I don't know what the latest is, but he hydro locked it on last springs Arizona trip. We had to tow it off the trail with Dustin's Bronco. --Sean

That is correct, I was waiting for someone to pitch in on this. As a matter of fact if you were to break down the 4.0L SOHC block, you would still see where the pushrods would go in OHV applications. --Sean

Thanks Jeff! :D They are one-piece forged Centerline Stingray IIIs. I wanted a good looking rim that would still handle the abuse off-road. --Sean

You are correct, sir! --Sean

Yeah, no one is ever around in here. --Sean

Nothing wrong with 17s. I have 33 on 17 for the street and day trip off-roading, but swap to the 33 on 15 Muds for the trails that might cause serious damage. --Sean

We have a bunch of info on this on ORR, but the Explorer is actually 1.5-inches wider. Also, the Ranger springs mount above the axle, not below, as on an Ex and the Ranger 8.8s are 28T, not 31T, like a Mustang or Explorer, unless you have an FX4, then you have the South American Ranger 31T...

Oh yes, one of the reasons I bought my FX4 was the all black interior, well that and the Torsen, and the manual t-case and shifter, and.... :D --Sean

I just put these stainless gauges on my 2002 Ranger. Here is a link for more info... http://www.offroadrangers.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=15106 --Sean

Hey guys, I'd like to make it out to AZ again this year. I should have the mods finished to my truck by this trip and would love to test them out with you. ;) Just let me know! --Sean

Hey guys, I am hoping to make it for at least a day, maybe the weekend. I am getting limiting straps next week and I just sent my spare set of CV axles out today to be lengthened. That should be the end of problems. Plus there have been a few suspension chnages since last year, in the rear as...

I scraped off the white on my Ranger and painted the needles Grabber Orange with model paint. Came out awesome. --Sean

It is basically an auto hub rebuild/maintainance kit. It gives you a bunch of little parts that are wear items in the hubs. On my '94 Ranger, I used the kit twice in 60,000, generally every other wheel bearing repacking and my hubs always worked better. I was religious about front end...
