034x4's D44 SAS thread...

[mynameisaric]

do you ever stop to think that 3 years ago, this was a brand new truck? are you still making car payments on this? i don't think you'd ever have to worry about it being reposesed if you ran into a financial catastrophe because the repo man would never recognize your truck as an 03 ranger.

oh yeah, and the paint job makes it look like a military vehicle now. i kind of like it.

Lol ya, I have about 6 more months of payments.

The funny part is, when I was going through the lemon vehicle process (it's on the 5th alternator right now....) they didn't buy the truck back, but they gave me a free extended warranty until 75,000 miles or 2008. It's only got 45,000 on it now.

i could only imagine the look on the mechanics face if you had to (hopefully you never will) bring your truck in for something.

do you still have your IFS stuff? sorry this is without bgoing back to look

 

[034x4]

I had all of the IFS parts that were still good for sale for about 6 months. The ONLY thing that was sold was a cv axle. No body wanted anything else, so I threw it away.

 

[034x4]

Actually, I still have my front diff with 4.10's and the driveshaft still hooked up to it if anyone wants it.

dayum that sizzucks apparently the later model Rangers have 12" brake rotors, larger then the standard gen II ex......

how much for the front diffy?

Really? That's interesting. However I would guess 16" rim are the smalest you could run. 15"s probally will not fit.

whats wrong with bigger rotors?

 

[410Fortune]

yes the sport trac I believe was the first to ahve 12" rotors, but I found out yest (I am getting the parts for my truck) that a 2004 Ranger edge also had the larger brakes.

You can still fit 15's. Johnstone has 15x10's on his Sport trac and ive seen an Edge at work with 15x8's on it.

My 14b's rotors are over 12" and I can still fit 15" over it.

 

[410Fortune]

what is 14b's?

what is 14b's?

14bolt

sweet truck i must say. What size tires you running now? Also where in the heck do you find the olive drab paint in a can? i can find gallons of it or have custom cans made. at 12-14 bucks a can that seems a little high.

 

[034x4]

38x12.50 TSL's. I ran 15x8's on my stock suspension when I still had it.

It's Krylon. Ultra flat Camo Olive. Wally world has it for 2.90~ a can. Took 5.5 cans.
