    V8 Solid Axle Ranger

    This thing really impressed me this weekend. I always tow it up to the local trails since the main grade is so long/steep and I just assumed this thing would drive terrible and overheat or something. But roads were super icy and they had CHP checking for chains so I decided to just try and drive...

    It does do that most times but not all, my guess is it depends on current battery voltage/health.

    Switched from a 6 button thingy to an 8 button thingy, also put a switch in the dash to give the panel power so I don’t have to have the ignition on to use it. Much better. Also, am I trippin or does KMC really not offer these in a 17” Superduty pattern? Now idk what wheel to get.

    I did a terrible job of taking pics/vids, but we did a ton of wheeling in the Ranger at KOH. Ran chocolate thunder, Turkey Claw and Spooners last weekend. Truck did amazing and the only issue was de beading a tire since I run fugazi locks still. I did lay the truck over against a rock and crush...

    No real updates on this thing, just been putting a bunch of street miles on it for funzies. Since I don’t have any major things to do to it before it goes to KOH, I’ve been just doing a bunch of little things. Added LED head lights and more rock lights in the front fenders and on the knuckles...

    To The Moon build

    First time seeing sunlight since May. Got it cleaned up and turned around. I’m gonna take it to the shop in a few weeks and start doing some actual work to it again. I got a few things to fix, may pull the motor for a refresh, also need to get a hold of us some KMCs for it.

    Experimenting with more traction in the front. So far there’s never been an obstacle I couldn’t make it over including Soup Bowl and Chocolate Thunder, but occasionally the truetrac in the front would slip a little too much at an inconvenient time. Eaton sponsored me this Detroit to try upfront...

    Used ai to see what the truck would look like if it was painted to match the race ranger. What do you guys think?

    V8 Solid Axle Ranger

    Trail was super nice this weekend, rain quit shortly after starting which killed all the dust and made some parts more challenging and fun. We came across the Rock Zombie party and got to see a bunch of toyotas flop over which was an unexpected surprise. Chevy broke a rear shaft in the 14 bolt...

    All loaded down and ready for the Rubicon run. Ended up ditching the tent but keeping the rack, I have so much stuff packed in this little truck.

    V8 Solid Axle Ranger

    I hope I don’t have to use it, but I’m pretty stoked about this spare idea my driveline guy whipped up. It’s a telescoping ag implement driveline converted to 1350 ends. It can be cut to accommodate any length, so it can be used front or rear on any of the rigs going on our trip. Probably...
