surprisingly it wasnt that hard but i only had to drive down the street about 300 yards and the axle seem to of held up just fine these trucks sure can take a beaten and then go back for more.

I hope you treat your Ranger to a nice good washing and waxing to make up for all it's hard work.

thought about it but figured it wouldnt be that smart with that load since all i heard driving down the street was a load clank from the drivshaft hiting the muffler.

I can't believe you even attempted to drive that much weight around. Not saying you shouldn't, just that I would've been freaking out trying to get it home.

Neat idea for the deck.
