LA GORDITA BLANCA ( Linked Ranger on buggy tires)

Mounted a new grille and some xl80s behind it IMG_7698.jpegalso mounted a spare fluid holder IMG_7701.jpegIMG_7703.jpegready for the tripIMG_7717.jpegI need to set a rule that I’m not allowed to drive the truck the night I get to the dez 😓IMG_5813.jpegended up flopping her on the side, came around a corner in a wash that dead ended into a 3’ wall locked up the brakes, I need a proportioning valve cause my rear breaks will lock up before the fronts do acting like a hoonhandle the ass end of the truck started passing the front and there was nothing I could do 🤷🏼‍♂️ I wanted to hit the gas so bad but didn’t know If there was a giant washout on the other side. Tire caught and put it on its side it was super slow flop and the truck was In perfect working order after it happened can’t say the same about my ego 🤣 just sad about the cab 😭IMG_7737.jpegdrove the truck the next day and blew up 3rd gear just like everyone told me I was going to 🤣 soooo the race was on to get this thing fixed for thanksgiving. Went home and pulled the trans out Sunday night picked one up from Joshua tree Monday after work came home and stabbed it in finished bleeding the clutch and a couple other little things on Tuesday night drove it around the block and loaded up! IMG_7800.jpegIMG_7801.jpegIMG_7810.jpegTruck ran great all weekend, I really do need some bigger hubs in the front now almost Everytime I drive the truck hard they come loose but besides that I have no complaints thing absolutely rips new motor is so good IMG_7824.jpegone of these is not like the others……
 
Bummer on the flop!! Doesn't look too bad at all tho.

can you post the dino charts/graphs? Buddy is gonna do SOHC swap and we'd love to see the torque curve
 
Thanks! this shows me what i was looking for. Shit, even has the A/F ratio.

basically max torque is around 3500rpm ... and max HP is around 4800rpm.

depending on rpm drops between shifts, probably no reason to run it to the limiter unless you just want to make more noise...
