Going to build a simple leaf spring radius arm buggy with a 44 and 8.8. Copying a lot off my ranger but with a np435 205 and 5.0 with propane. Got started tacking some pieces together.

Finally starting a build thread for my old daily driver now trailer queen. Here are some links to threads I started for different parts of the truck. Front dana 44 swap http://www.therangerstation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=111464 Pics with different size tires...

Went to badlands in Attica Indiana for 2 days. Here are 4 videos and will try to get some more uploaded later. http://youtu.be/9fZbk8M_mVE http://youtu.be/DNuuQQ9CpM8 http://youtu.be/VZ_xHH0orp8 http://youtu.be/ZuuKcHZ8sjY

Figured I would post some pics of what I've been doing . Traded for matching 44 and 9" . 9" will be installed down the road . Got the front stripped down . Had to rent a tool from Autozone to get the spindles off . Housing clean and painted . 78/79 radius arm brackets came in the mail...

I saw them on ebay but they wanted $8 shipping . Plus I didn't want to take the chance that I wouldn't be able to wheel this coming weekend . It is a quality looking joint compared to the rest that I have seen . I read that it was developed for the Jeep TJ Rubicon .

A video with the sound of it snapping would of been cool . CTC in Chandler Indiana had them for $24.50 . I went ahead and got a few extra .

I used the same spring that is in the tech library . http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/c-clip_eliminator_external.html

Yes , got the spring at Four Seasons on Morgan .

Your going to need them . I saw those tires you got .

Found some Spicer 5-760x u-joints locally at a truck repair shop called CTC for $24.50 . Couldn't find them that cheap on the internet . The tech page said to use 1 3/16" clips but I couldn't find any , so I used 1 1/8" clips from Rural King . Also went ahead and weld the caps , but just in one...

Thanks Dustin I forgot about that . Yeah first time out with the 44 stuff and it looks like it lost a cap off a joint . But that is my fault . I did all that work and didn't put in new joints , I just tack welded the caps on some used joints to the shafts . New 5-760x joints and full clips will...

Which ones did you get and how long are they ?

Used the tech library to replace the front brake lines . This time I turned them out towards the tire .

It's real close .
