**** it, never swapped axles with the ranger today. im just gonna build the D35 diff i have here from an explorer. im gonna start saving up and get some 4.56s for the rear, then some for the front. and the d35 im using needs rad arms, one side is cut up so i figure its a perfect excuse to make some extended arms. how much longer over stock should i go? 10"?
i dont really wanna get into making trans crossmembers if i can help it, but what has to be done, has to be done.
today i noticed there was a rough spot on the edge of the hood that i only noticed because the trouble light was lodged down right next to it. so i figured it might be more visible when its painted so i whipped out some bondo that i bought for the 79.
its basicly just fiberglass. its kind of a bitch to work with too.
its green in the can, when you mix it with the cream hardener it turns red and looks like this after you **** around trying to get it all applied properly.
then after it drys it looks more like this
i never got around to sanding it yet
also have a problem with the tcase not engaging, dont matter if its in 2hi, 4hi, neutral, or 4lo, its always in 2hi. i think the linkage could be ****ed up, not even the 4x4 dash lights come on.
