welp, there ya go! haha

no need for iroks.. then again most people running them... use them

 

47 inch pitbull growlers on double beadlocks - Pirate4x4.Com Bulletin Board

get the 47's! haha

 

that is some damn bank for those bad boys

 

way too big and way too wide. i saw those the other day

 

well i was way off on the PSI, charged them to 260 and its much closer. idk what i was thinking before.

oh yeah and i rolled it across the garage! fixed the front ujoint, switched to milemarker hubs and mounted the shocks.









too much left to do, but im tired. maybe tomorrow I will get the back finished(tube wise) and tank mounted.

friday is front cage.

 

I may have missed it somewhere in the thread, but why did you switch to the mile marker hubs?

 

i bought an 8 lug D44(with flat tops) for 50 bucks and it had brand new milemarker hubs on it.

i installed them so i can destroy those and not the Ford ones that I cant find parts for.

 

Gotcha. I thought you had Warns on there and traded those for mile markers.

 

oh no, ive got 2 sets of the big 5" red **** Ford ones with the aluminum surrounding. These are not normal D44 hubs they take a 3/8" bolt, 6 of them to hold them on.

76 and 77 fords had this style hub, maybe earlier years too. Similar to a D60 hub actually several parts are interchangeable from mine to a D60.

rotors, outter knuckle, caliper, caliper bracket, maybe the bearings and inner spindle too. not sure though.

 

Ya mile marker is the only place i can find aftermarkets for our style hubs but i have 4 hubs and 2 drive flanges for spares
ill be the first to ask lets see some flex pics

 

he cant flex it until the front cage is done

my axle came as a live axle, so i still have the factory drive slugs laying around for a worst case scenario.

 

heh yeah me too,but umm I need the axle under my truck still heh. Truck looks nice on all fours Zack

 

lol yersh gonna be a few weeks before flex i think. but id rather go wheeling then flex it. if i flex it it will be to just check travel and make sure nothing is binding.

 

Looking great Zach!

 

Awesome man

 

nice progress, not much left of the good ole ranger but it looks nice!

 

Im not sure if i missed this or not but is the wheel base shorter than what it used to be or did you keep it the same length as oem?

looks shorter but maybe thats because you dont have a bed on it any more haha

 

Chris it should be the same, or close to it.

 

Looks good man... Def too clean tho.

Cant wait till you finish it so you can come north and put some dents in it!

 

thanks! nothing wrong with too clean :)

i cant wait to get some experience out there, the stuff i have done is too easy. And I finally feel its getting to the point where i want it.

I plan to get some good wheeling trips in next year and little moding.

Plus we have been talking about wheeling for over a year, we need to meet up and go!

 

Lookin' good! I can't wait to see it with the fenders back on!

 

looks great man cant wait to see the motor put in

 

that is a different project. lol.

 

o yeah i know i just have been excited since you told us all about it lol i dream of a 351w in my truck here soon

 

lookin good zach!
