Boomin's getting a sex change

[boominXplorer]

I still have the transfercase in for the reason of a SAS. I'll take the AWD case out when I decide if I really want to stay 2wd or go 4x4. I still have my front driveshaft and front pumpkin (minus gears and carrier). Spindles are a cheap lift to play with till the truck is almost paid for. Then she'll get the knife. For some reason I find wheeling in 2wd alot more fun the 4wd. The ****ty thing is when you get stuck you have no 4x4 button .

Sounds like you have some pretty major plans for it.

A 4.56 ratio with a 302 will be more than enough I think. I think the truck will be very nice looking. I'll need to get chris up here so I can see it up close if its worth anything. I'm sure I'll be talking to you, chris, about the project, but I will now just wish you luck on it. And on the 4.88 pin, I don't think it would be anymore grinding on a tooth or two of the ring gear to put it in than on the 4.56.

Im afraid I might not fit 35's right. I might need bigger

As much as I would love to see your truck lifted, I wish you'd keep it lowered. Like Beau said, you guys are a dying breed. Only a handful of fast lowered X's left that haven't been totalled or lifted. Anyways, good luck!

That's the best thing about 4WD. It's 2WD until you push the button.

Haha guy well here we go. This weekend I will take the last pics of the truck lowered. I have decided that it is the best for me to lift my truck for 2 reasons. 1 is that it will slow me down some hopefully and 2 is that noone really has done what I am doing to a mountaineer. What /QUOTE]

boomin. did u forget about my mountainner?
hehe glad to see you finally came to the darkside! muahaha! cant wait to see it done man.

Sex change, ahuh! Finally becoming a man!

 

[boominXplorer]

Clark, THAT is my exact idea. I am getting perrys and a front bumper just like that.

 

[boominXplorer]

BTW: SOA is about done, Will finish sometime this week and install spindles

 

[j602]

You're not doing a body lift are you?

 

[mynameisaric]

ok so i understand that you took out everything in the diff to make it 2 wheel drive, but i thought with a front dif it was bad to go over 2 inches cuz of the cv joints. but i'm not mechanic so i probly sound like an idiot right now.

 

[boominXplorer]

since im 2wd i dont have CV's or a front dif any longer.

No body lift yet and probibly not

 

[clarkkent]

boomin go solid axle. that'd be sweet.

 

[boominXplorer]

boomin will when he doesn't owe 10k on his truck

 

[mynameisaric]

ok. i'm sorry i thought you meant you had the dif and drive shafts still in the truck. i mis-read what you wrote. i'll go find a corner and put my dunce hat on now.

the big bonus about lifting them with huge tires, is they are so easy to work on, get under

2wd may be fun to wheel, but thats not really "wheelin" its more "romping" Also a 4wd will ALWAYS do better off road, when you compare apples to apples (long travel to long travel )

 

[boominXplorer]

I just like 2wd. I still ahve 4wd spindles and front case so if i wanted to go back it wouldn't be hard. I'll have some pics up tomorrow with SOA in the rear and 2'' drop up front


410: Truck sounds good man!
