...Where did you get the F250 brake lines from and how much???

...Where did you get the F250 brake lines from and how much???

Autozone.

They were like $19 and some change a side. Just tell them its for a 2000 F250 4x4 with rear wheel abs and manual hubs. That is if you need the weird fitting on the driver side at the top that on a 91-92.

If you have a 93-94 that doesnt have that fitting tell them its a 4 wheel abs and manual hubs.

...Were those in stock on the shelves???...The reason I ask as I'm looking for some for the front of my 95 Ranger and it would be easier to match them up if they do have them in stock...

..AZ is just now starting to promote order online and pickup in store...I have found they are not stocking as much at the store...

 

[Foxracin]

They had them at stock at my local store. Only place that had them in stock.

 

[Tbars4]

...Thanks a bunch as that helps save a bunch of time...:biggthump

..Did you order your C-clip eliminator springs from Echo??

 

[Foxracin]

Yea, there Echo springs. Called the local Echo dealer and they had 2 in stock so I picked both of them up. It surprised me that they had them in stock.

Got the shaft collars from Fastenal.

[red.EDDIE.4x4]

oh wow....duno how i overlooked that one

 

[Foxracin]

Haha. You can get shaft collars from many different places. Probably somebody around you that has them in stock. Just tell them you need a 1-3/8" inside diameter. Outside doesnt matter.

Ordered some 55w 4500k HID's yesterday. Going to give the HID's a try. It will be my first set ever.

May convert the lights over on my rack to HID also if I like the headlights.

 

[technoboy235]

DUDE! THat hand throttle is sooo sick!

 

[Foxracin]

All it is is a bicycle shifter. lol Pretty simple to do. Give it a try.

 

[technoboy235]

I definitely will!

 

[Foxracin]

Found a set of nice clear headlights at the junkyard. Funny thing is the whole front end was destroyed on it in a crash except the headlights. Just on of the back backing pieces was broke all up so I just replaced it with one of mine. Worked fine.

Put a light in my box and put a door switch on it.

Nite shaded the tails. Not sure if I like it or not though.

Overall shot of the front now.

Getting everything ready for the lift install and diff swap. Ran into a problem putting the front air locker in could get the backlash right and found out it calls for a different bearing on one side so I got the right bearing for it this weekend so I should get it together this coming week. Made some guessets for the drop bracket.

I shouldnt break it now. But we shall see.

Love your setup! I was running 31" TSLs for a while, they pull great in the mud. It seems like you make short work of any project you choose to undertake. keep it up!

 

[Foxracin]

Finished getting both my diffs put together today. Going to swap them out and swap lifts out starting tomorrow night and finish up Saturday if all goes well.

Front D35 with 4.56 and ARB

Rear 8.8 with 4.56 and Aussie

 

[Foxracin]

Finished getting the lift and diffs swapped out yesterday. Havent got the body lift taken off yet so it looks kind of goofy with 31's. There is actually a little negative camber so I will probably put the coil spacers back on the front and pull the body lift and see how it sits then.

Also got my HIDS yesterday and just got them put on earlier today. They seem pretty bright just have to wait until it gets dark to see. The seem like a good quality set but I dont really know this is my first set ever.

Ballasts

Wiring harness and controller for high/low

Lights on kind of hard to get a pics of in day light

Ill get some picture of them tonight when it gets dark.

Got the money saved up to get a set of 33's. Got to find somebody that has the 33x12.50x15 BFG km2's though. Everybody seems to be out of stock of them.

 

[Foxracin]

Well we got a problem. I finally saved up the money to buy a new set of bigger tires and NOBODY has or can get the BFG KM2's for like a month. Sucks. When you finally got the money to get something you can never find it but when you dont have the money there everywhere. May have a lead on a used set so if it works out I will still have a set.

 

[MrQ]

What is the matter with your 31's? Are you going to sell them?
