but aren't there more locker options and stuff for a D44 center section vs/ D50 center section?

okay, I've got a line on a major deal. One of the jeep guys I know is selling is his wife's 97 Explorer. Here's the ad C & P'ed from the other board. "Selling my wifes explorer shes got a new car on the way (08 HHR) so it's gotta go The ford has 220,000 km on it and it runs like a top. light...

so, one of the things my Bronco II needs to be safetied is a windshield. I called two local places, one was $200 installed, one was $220...that sound about right? I need mostly body work and a windshield, then I can at least drive the thing...

I was thinking tonight. For those who have swapped 63" chevy leaves (88-98) into their ranger (yes, I realize it means moving the front hangers forward, like, 5-6") how much lift did it give you, and did you keep the factory lift block? Just thinking out loud....

FYI, "1BadB2" on the old forum had a spooled one in his old setup BII...

Hasn't even been to the dealership yet! lol...08 Ranger, 2.3, 5 speed auto, 4.10's, 2wd, midnight blue. Nice truck, but I'd go for a 4x4 (obviously) instead of a 4x2....priced out at $18k Canadian. Picked it up at the railhead in Cheektowaga, NY.... Also....saw this at one of the dealership's...

it must be a wagoneer or YJ axle if it's leaf sprung.

lol...sorry for the crappy pic, I took in on my cell....this bad boy was one of 7 units in my load last night: if you've never seen, or sat in/drove one of these things in person, you're missing out. One, pics don't do it justice. Two, They are HUGE. I also had a 2500 GMC cargo van, it's...

-I will be changing gears. So, it would just be easier to bolt a different yoke on in the process? -chances are i'll use the D44 arms then, and make/get made some custom mounts. -Yea, it'll be going in my BII. as for the weight, whatever it weighs now, plus the weight of a winch...

well. See....hmmmm let's clear the plate. I'm seriously thinking about doing this. Reason being, I can get a complete Dana 44 TTB setup for $40. Now that I've got that out... -I'd like to bolt the beams in the stock pivots. I'd need to trim like, what, 1/2" to 1" off the middle shaft where it...

hmmm...I wonder if the F-150/FSB linkage would fit the stock RBV pitman arm... was it hard to seat the RBV coils on the D44 TTB?

lol...I was at work, driving down the highway tonight, thinking about that, when suddenly, I was like "wait a minute...*thinking* oh hell, that's right...he's gonna think i'm an idiot now..." Did you use fullsize linkage on your ranger? what did you have to do the to driveshaft? did you keep...

junkie, i'm confused. How would, if the TTB Dana 44 pivot points in an F-150 are 2" narrower, would you need to shorten the middle shafts? Wouldn't they need to be lengthed? Or is the RBV TTB pivot points 2" narrower, hence the need to narrow the middle shafts..... I'm somewhat confused...

Okay, I just came across a posting on my local Jeep message board (I know, but in defence, you can find some good stuff in the for sale sections, and they know the local trails...) One of the users got an 82 Fullsize Bronco. He's keeping the 5.0, auto tranny, and rear 9", but the rest he's...

Front: And more importantly, back: There's also pics on pirate of a guy trying rear TTB on a ranger. If memory serves me, it was "StRanger"
