I'm sure a lot of the members on here have seen me around on other forums, I figured I would move what I can find of my build thread over here.
It is finally complete and has been well tested haha.
Specifications: 1997 Ford Ranger XLT, 2.5L out of a 99 with approximately 50K miles, Black ext/Royal blue Int, Reg cab, Long bed,Explorer OHC, PIAA 520 ion crystal driving lamps, 6000K HIDs, M5OD, 1350M (STX), Jeep YJ D30 Front axle, 8.8 Rear axle, 4.10 gears, 33x10.50x15 BFG KM2's, Monroe monotube shocks, James Duff traction bars, RE YJ front leafs, RuffStuff brackets and 5" shackles, lots of audio equipment, custom body damage and scrapes from trees. Lots of other stuff I'm sure I'm forgetting.
From another thread.. On a website where people are treated like crap..
"i went and picked up two d30's tonight, both are HP axles.
they are both out of 90's yj's.
one has 3.07 gears and the other has 4.10's.
im going to make one good axle out of the best parts and go from there.
i have to get an axle shaft from a tj d30, but thats nothing.
tomorrow im going to go pick up the 4" or 4.5" lift leafs.
got everything for $120.
on with the pictures, i will get more as soon as we get the parts up to my dads work."
