Kyle M's Ranger Rebuild

[kris97ranger]

meh it doesnt look like your going to have to worry about hubs... those axles arnt staying in there much longer.. so im assuming your recovery is going well?

So note to self, warn premium hub don't hold up too well for my set up, try something else next time.

Ask Bray about this too.... Warn premiums don't like to stay together, the regular chrome capped hubs seem better. I've got an old set of 70's Ford/Warn hubs with all solid steel guts and coarse locking teeth.... they're basically drive flanges once locked in... they're way heavier then the new Warn hubs!

That's why I'm planning to go flanges even on the 60, I'll leave them in for in town but just pull them for the long teips

No, it isn't gonna be there too much longer, just hope I can hold it together so I an get those other axles built up.

I am healing pretty good, would say I am about 80%, I still get sore and start to cramp up but the doc told me to start pushing myself, so I am. Still have a couple weeks off of work so I am going to try and get some things done around the house.

I remember he blew one up, now I did both of mine. I have some factory old Ford ones, but I broke one of those a while back too, guess I still have one of those. I plan on going with flanges on the 60 and I will just run the ones I have in there now. Too bad no one will warranty these ones.

As NMB2 says, "Warn Crapiums". They suck. I've only broken one, and have a couple spares on top of the one I used to replace the one I broke. I'll break all the lockouts I've got then I'll be getting some flanges.

Regret? What!?!

 

[Kyle M.]

No regrets, weather I had my truck taken away from by smashing it or it Just evolved into what it is now, I would still miss what it used to be, all nice and stuff. Sometimes I think about getting another one to just DD and build in to a nice trail truck dune runner , like what mine used to be. But it iz great to pass that boundary and just start beating on it!

 

[Bray D]

haha I know what you're sayin. I used to hear how nice my truck was and how capable it was, etc. Now I hear about all its battle scars and how its not gonna last another 10 years. I'm right on the line of entering the next level. I'm trying to resist. haha.

 

[railman]

well....mine will definately be going into its next phase, prolly after this weekend.....

and believe me when I say your truck has been some inspiration for that

l8r, John

Beware, you can't go back once you enter! It turn insot more than just getting out and having fun, it is more like I gotta make it up that, I know I can go over that.....That is why I am going 60's and a V8.....when will it stop? Think I will be happy running 42's?
