Perfect starting point! You don’t need big $$ parts to win. Prep and not killing the truck is the way for 2000. This dude I’m pretty sure is champ for two seasons now on what was a class 7 and all he’s really changed is swapped to coilovers and bypasses vs 3 old 2.0” kurnutt shocks per wheel...

That’s what usually happens, I’m kinda thinking since these chevys have about the shortest spindle of any truck, plus he’s on 37’s and has 4 piston brakes as well… I think those might all be contributing factors. Made him some boxed arms and told him to stop stabbing the brakes when the going...

Thanks Tommy! Seems like nobody ever wants to talk about breakages. 👍

Ohh… this is up my alley, I’ve got one of the newer rangers and really want to change the gears at least. Did you get the bronco axles/diffs from a junkyard or? Glad to see another ranger.

Stock fenders, hood, header panel and grille from ‘99 ranger. Freebies! Just trying to keep them out of the landfill. Anything that’s left still on the truck that isn’t a race truck is also free. Rear window, interior plastics (most have been removed already though) stock suspension parts up...

Fuck it, thread revival: Convinced my wife to try a couple night backpacking trip, so we are up in the sierras by a little lake, totally bear country.. we are in a tiny 2 person tent and she’s going “do you hear that?” I don’t hear anything, but get “up” and stick my head out to see what’s...

Well, thanks for the replies. It’s really easy for me to start thinking the worst and I don’t like my parts falling. I will have a talk with the owner and tell him his driving style definitely needs some work.

Is it stronger if it has a sharp bend/miter in it at the same spot though? I’m definitely no engineer. Haha

That’s what I’m thinking. The way it’s bent forward like that almost has to have been from braking forces. It’s hard to get the whole story from people though.

So check this out, I’ve always ass-u-me’d that 1.5 120 DOM should be fine for some upper arms on a more basic front “kit” do you all agree or think it’s a little undersized? We have never seen this happen before so I’ve always figured all is well. Well this dude comes to us and bent one of his...

Another vote for everlast here. I’d say we use it at least once or twice a week, and sometimes we’ve had week long jobs where it ran all day for 5-6 days. We did kill a water pump on it and they sent a warranty part out and we had it in a couple days. Pretty good customer support. I have an...

I remember my dad using that on an old dirtbike tank too. The por 15 stuff seems promising too.

Way cooler than a side by side!

It’s not leaking, but it’s not mine, it’s a customers so I would rather err on the conservative side so they don’t have issues down the road. I lopped the entire side off and narrowed it a little bit, so there is definitely reworked parts up above where there would consistently be liquid. I’m...

Been looking at the por-15 option. I need something I can slosh in there and dump since it’s all welded up now.
