Last time I was out with Andy, he only had a LS back there. Unless the Powertrax got done during the V8 upgrade as well.

But real glad to hear that's its done. If we actually have a meet sometime, we'll have to see how it sounds.

You gonna try and get it out to the Ice party?

 

yeah it went in during the swap. its nothn real special but its way better than open and the LS i had.

Yeah for sure it will be out on the ice!

 

alrighty......finally man. Great to hear that.



Now...represent us deep wedgewooders here......BURNOUTS!!!!

 

Nice man, glad to hear that it is done. Can't wait to see the vids.

 

your wanting vids already..i just want effin pics

 

I remember reading this wayyyyyy back a bunch of months ago. Congrats on finishing it and I'm excited to see the pics/vid!

 

hello evan!? come on...OF COURSE we want vids. Big smokin', 35's-a-spinnin, v8-a-yellin', massive burnouts.



word.

 

hey dude where are pics and whats happenin with the ranger? dont tell me you did something gay like sell it then get a PT cruiser you plan on ricing out

 

i think he's pulling our leg........I think the cab is still off the truck. lol. Come on andeeezy.

 

yep its sold

 

if you sold it without one vid im gonna kick you in the nuts.

 

dude you didnt sell it did yah?

 

nah dude.. yank'n yer chains..



i gota pick it up from the exhaust shop monday, had it home for a while but i had to get exhaust so i could drive it all over. even though headers was wild lol

 

Are you going to reinstall the A/C or leave it out? Looks like there's a bunch of wiring that needs to be cleaned up but otherwise it looks good.

 

yeah that was the last pick i have before it was final wiried and cleaned up. AC i am going to deal with a little later. I'll take some more pics of it washed etc. Also i have a new intake plaque so it retains the black outlined letters and doesnt look poor grey

 

Nice. THat looks good.... very jealous...

 

Nice Dude! That thing must fly!

 

Yeah its nice and torqy and quick.(i also had the 3.0 before but yeah haha), With the shift kit in It shifts perty hard, but i have to use it more in daily driving to figure out if its gonna be ok or if i should drop down a spring. The chirp into second is sweet though hah

Overall it should be a solid drivetrain with the 5.0L, 4R70W, 4406 T-case, and the custom d-shafts. weak points will be the front axle shafts(CV's) etc. but i hope to get past that with an SAS in a year or so

 

an sas that'll take 6 months, right?? lol. Where them pics bro???????!!!?!?!?!?!!?!!?!?!?!!?!!?!? lol

 

pics!

 

What do you mean by "drop down a spring?"

Sounds great man. Very happy for you!

 

"drop down a spring". Means going to a weaker spring for the shifts in the valve body on the trans. Going from a, for example, 5lb spring to a 4lb spring.

 

yeah, as it sits now i have the medium kit in, and there is hard, and extreme, and also stock performance and low. so i'm gona ride the medium for a while and see how i like it. not gona hurt anything just will have to get used to the non-lag shifts.

Still at the damn exhaust shop, They told me it was gona get in this week but apperently nothing goes right with my project. so i hope those *****es get it done friday or saturday. Damn people getting lazy with thanksgiving on a thursday

 

i'd take the truck to another shop. there's other exhaust shops.

 

Ahh, I've never had any bad experiences with where I usually take my exhaust.. they tell me to bring it in the night before, they work on it the next morning, and I get it in the evening after work the same day. Damn good work doing it that way =)
