Yea james, It will be illegal in va lol. But ill have to have it plated for the trails. And I'm gonna drive it round the neighborhood and such lol
Should be 96" wide depending on how the ballooning of the tires affect it.

Damn that's wide. But you have clearance lights to tell people you're over 80" wide so its all good lol.

 

[Xeek]

Lol. True.
The ranger is getting a little bit of attention right now. But explorer is still coming along. Should have some pics soon

 

[Xeek]

cage work

 

[mr cribb]

Holy crap, the X sure changed a bunch. I was unaware of the latest progress until you posted the link to this.

Great work. Keep it up.

 

[Xeek]

Yea its definitely changed.

14" FOAs. 250/150 for front and 200/150 for rear.

Cage work. Almost done, just need cross bars then final welding

 

[Ronin8002]

4 link rear?

 

[Xeek]

Yep
I've got 180ft of dom for the cage and lower cradle. Looks like I'm using all of it. Got that a a lot of tube. Lol

 

[unclemeat]

Seems like a lot of work to just take it out in the woods and run it into trees, LOL.

 

[Four0Sport]

I just read your build thread for the first time... holy crap thats a fast transition from ttb to sas to 2.5s, geesh lol

what happened to all the fw 44 and duff stuff?

 

[Xeek]

haha john. there will be no "running into trees" just "running through those measly trees"

4.0sport, yea im coming along pretty well. i still have the 3/4 alxes and duff parts. gonna sell it all eventually. havent tried yet

 

[Four0Sport]

like the build.. ill be watching

 

[unclemeat]

So is this build going to go through the mudhole that ate your super duty?

 

[Xeek]

I'm thinking of it..

 

[Xeek]

the front of the truck being cut off was easier than lining up a converter to a motor 3ft in the air. so motor and tranny went in as one. needed a new clip anyway

so the 302 and c6 are in now. waiting for my tcase to come in still..

 

[MidnightRebel07]

Thanks for the picture man, I might be getting a 390 out of my neighbor's '63 Thunderbird (he has four of them and two are parts cars), still need to search for a trans and transfercase. Are you getting glass fenders or staying with stock width fenders?

 

[Xeek]

390 would be different lol.
Gonna do the one piece raptor conversion.






































Just kidding.... Stock fenders and frontend. Even glass with added fender flares still wouldn't be wide enough haha

 

[Four0Sport]

if by some chance i fall into an extra 3K dollars my 2nd gen is getting the Raptor swap.. just cause people would be like wtf is that

 

[MidnightRebel07]

I kinda figured you were gonna stick with the stock front clip, there's no covering up those wide axles and tires. lol

 

[Xeek]

Its possible, but I rather not bother. I'm just gonna bang it all up again anyway.

Jacob at is taking forever to build my strong box. Its been almost two months... but once I get it my buddy better get his ass in gear and finish the cage Nd suspension so I can play with the seats, motor, and wiring.

 

[blueka]

Sick!!!
