Looks great man, Looking forward to the next update!

Hey you made it! Welcome.

Lol he has 4 loko cans wrapped arount his shock resi's now. I messaged him to get over here and post his rig!

Now I am elbow deep in a single swing steering build. Probably have two days into it and I am still working on getting the geometry right. The drop brackets for the beam make it a little tricky. Hoping to get it finished soon and test it before a rallycross event in May. Before: After:

At D-town I broke the flange on the 8.8 again. Then it happened again on a trail ride in ocala. I did get a little jump in first though: I kept replacing the yoke because in mind it was a cheap fuse to replace. After breaking it three times though, I had enough and upgraded driveshafts...

Lol oh.... then yeah I am sure its the same guy!

I got the truck dyno tuned in July of 2024. It made ~ 245hp and ~ 265tq at the tires through the 4l65, np241C, and 4.56 gears. Runs better than ever now. I took the truck to an event with The off-road Revolution or TORR at Durhamtown offroad park in GA in August of 2024. This is an event...

This was my first ever major fabrication and welding project and it took a...

I took the truck to the first ever Southeast prerunners event at a private property in South Carolina in September of 2023. Met some good dudes and had a blast. I wound up breaking a shock mount off of the frame and snapping the cast u-joint flange on the 8.8 - This wound up being a consistent...

At some point I decided to hack off the bedsides, but the fiberglass ones I found on marketplace were pretty hopeless so I wound up keeping it ghetto hacked for a long time. Here's more pics of the ranger getting down in our local forest:

Finally back to get the build thread up to date. Once we got the suspension dialed in we ended up with about 16.5in bumped and strapped with the d44 beams. I found some absolutely hammered used fiberglass fenders (these things are super hard to come by in Florida) so I slapped those on and...

Can't wait to see more of this thing. Looks great so far!

engine cage complete - Beams and steering on In august we also purchased a new Daily Driver in the form of this '22 Bronco Black Diamond Back to ranger prgress: Found some super cheap temporary wheels on FB market place for the new lug pattern, and Mounted some locked 2.0x2.0 Bumpstops...
