Drew up some brackets and had them laser cut. Allowed me to adapt F-350 brakes to the TG ends. Also modified the driveline and added the MitchMade billet carrier bearing.

Put some miles on the new rear set up. I think I’m going to end up lowering the rear. It’s huge even compared to Max’s K10.

That little short truss turned out nice

Thanks, we were thinking of doing a top one as well but needed the clearance. I don't think it will be an issue.

this Artec kit should keep the tie rod away from the housing without any bends hopefully.

Pre heated, peened and post heated. Seems to have worked well.

Decided to build a 10” high pinion for the front.

In the last few days, it’s been together and apart so many times. But I did get it completely on its own weight finally.

Please throw some new headlight housings in, I promise it'll change the entire look of the front end.

It will get a makeover at some point. But as you can see I’ve been pretty busy making it a worthy trail rig.

Some things going on for the last time. I know there’s no such thing as overkill in off-road, but this seems like a lot of differential for this little Ranger trail rig lol.

The plan is to take it on a pretty tough trail the 19th. So curious to see how this coil and shock set up works. If it works good I’m just gonna put a 2.5 King upfront to match the rear, if it sucks I’m gonna put some 14” coilovers on it probably.
