full of win

needs some beefier wheels/tires to handle that power though

 

Sweet truck. That thing's gotta launch like a pissed off mule with the 4:10s...


GB :)

 

Thats cool. Wheels and tires for sure. Moar pics of the black and red jeep plz.

 

Love it.

 

Is that a parker intake? Looks good. I like how you did the gauges and the engine compartment. Should move that battery to the back for the weight transfer.

 

Is that front bumper wood?!?

 

LOL, yes tires and wheels will be coming in the new year as well as a fuel cell to add weight in the rear.

I was thinking the same thing about the battery as well as going to a dual system.

The intake is Edelbrock but I'm not sure of the model, had it laying around in the garage when I did the build.

OK, yes the bumper in the picture is made of a 2X6 - I had to have a bumper for the inspection and the "real" one hadn't been delivered yet. As soon as the grill is finished I promise I'll post more pictures of the front end!

More pictures of the Jeep? Well that's my other baby, detroit locked all the way around with 4.88's, chrome molly axles (D44's), 4 inch lift, rolling on Interco 16X 37's. It's a crawler not a mudder but is driven daily on the street as well.. I'll see about some picts later today..

 

nice, I like them both

 

awesome vehicles man, good luck with the project

 

Whew! What a pleasant surprise under that hood.

 

thats sinister

 

MMMMMMMMMM Yes please.

 

well i officially hate you now.

 

explorer 8.8 for the rear end?

 

Nope its a 7.5 but it is a possi unit and has the chrome molly axles!

Here's pictures of the front grill and bumper and you can see the difference in flipping the spring perches and cutting the front coils (yes thats a real bumper as well!)








And the Jeep of coarse!!

 

Wirelessly posted (Droid X)

302 ranger ftw!

And thanks everyone, it is a blast to drive!!

 

Both are sweet!

 

cool. i've never heard of chomoly axle shafts on a 7.5

 

Two thumbs up man!

 

VERY NICE! i wish mine looked half as good under the hood. well done

 

very very nice, but man that sure wouldn't make it very far where I live, but in the summer that would be full of win..
