Should feel pretty peppy in the truck!Was cool to watch and learn from Lance aka dunehoon. It's also a bit un-nerving being by a 37" tire spinning at almost 100mph. hahah.
put down 292/294. I suppose that isnt bad considering all the loss.
Did you ever have a crank hp number? Would be interesting to see how much drivetrain loss there is. I'm also interested to see what mine would be going from a 416/4l80 to a 10" and 40s lol
I have read 35-45% for crawlers.
If you calculated mine with 30% loss... it would equate to 417HP.
40% would be 486HP at crank.
So, I would say it's probably closer to 30% for me.
Horsepower numbers! wheel horsepower vs flywheel on an LS motor
Okay folks, we were having some discussion and debate on some poor fellas sale thread about horsepower numbers on an LS 6.0. What can be squeezed out of an lq4, lq9, and a 5.3 while staying naturally aspirated and only doing bolt on upgrades and some light head work. By light head work I mean...

Yeah that’s kinda my thought also. Hoping for less than 40%
not yet... but I will!! I always do wet weight with full tank etc.Net pay vs take home pay
Have you weighed the truck yet?
how much heavier you think it will be than 2ghetto (4,500 lbs if i remember right)

that dyno sheet has the weight on it at 3750? not real?
been messing with dumb shit since dyno. After dyno I noticed the rear end picked up a slight howl on de-cel. I checked pinion nut, still seems tight... so, gonna just run it. I wonder if gears werent broken in enough.
made relief cut longer for hoon handle in center console, because if you really cranked hard on it before, you could get it to hit. I might try to sandwich a piece of leather with slit in it to finish it off and hide that big hole...
SHIT>> this pic just made me realize truck is still in neutral from tighening pinion nut! doh!
Wasn't looking forward to fixing the heater core leak issue.... because I had to pull console and dash to get access.
Think I fixed it by just tightening hose clamps more. (face palm) So, heater and everything is hooked back up. Gonna recharge AC and see if it works.
pretty sure it was this juan...

then after re-install and opening SwitchPro app ... somehow the color background got lost on switch A. And now the color selector in app was different... so had to recalibrate the stupid colors on both switches again. I try my best to match the AC control color..
next up is installing clear bra material to protect that purdy paint. And install double shear for steering box/sector shaft... and more heat shielding.... and....

One bad mfer!
Great job Aaron this thing looks great! I know after a 5 year project this is probably not a question you want to be asked butttttttttt....... With your family growing from when you started do you see yourself building something larger in the future or are you making the ranger work for now?

You don't need another ranger Nick!!
Thanks for the kind words guys!
And, Ranger is gonna have to work! Thing barely fits on trailer and in garage as it is.
although.. I could sell 2ghetto to fund the start of a new build. I'd love an OBS f150 extended cab 3 seater with CHO beams. Don't give me any ideas. haha. This is a sickness. But, 2ghetto probbaly wouldnt even buy the beams and shocks though. LOL
How much is a fully fabricated CHO kit with RCV axles and steering, hubs, etc? Anyone know? Bet it's a lot
