Love your profile picture. I see the license plate. Can it drive on the road when dry zero snow. That would be so cool to see on the highway. Great work Zach.

Happy New Year.

 

What do yall think about these rims over the skull rock rings I have now? The welds look better on these than are on mine now and it's kind of got a spider Web thing going on in the middle. But skulls are just badass and these things are a pain to mount.

 

I like the skulls better

 

OH WOW

The last time I saw a tire that big was on an army truck. A pain to mount. I can only imagine the pain. Does that thing weigh 100 pounds? Real bad *** tire!

 

Rims with inserts and rock ring are about 60 lbs and the tire is 88 lbs. So about 150 lbs each.

 

Finally got this thing back together. Having the ARB is so nice compared to the spool. The first tight turn into the gas station just put a smile on my face.

Only problem I'm having is the rear brakes are sticking. Dragging like I'm always on the brakes. New calipers and pads. Last thing I want to do is melt the seals again.

I'm thinking it might be a pushrod problem with the F350 master cylinder swap. But I think that would affect the front brakes too. Anybody done the F350 master cylinder swap and experienced this?

 

Monster size me!

 

Is the master you have new? I know i had problems on my f250 when my master went out. It would apply brake pressure, but would not let off when you would release your foot. So it would keep building up pressure as you used them. But if your fronts are fine idk. Maybe a blockage in the main rear line. When they are locked up next, crack the seal on the bleeder and see if any fluid comes out. That's how I had to drive home when mine went goofy. Kept having to pull over and bleed them hah

 

What all did you need to modify when you went to the f350 master? Change the booster too?

 

The master was new 2 or 3 yrs ago when I first did the sas. I just changed the master didn't mess with the booster and the push rod adjustment was screwed all the way in already.

I found a thread a while back were the guy shaved a little off the pushrod to get the right adjustment. But I think if that was the problem the fronts would be sticking too.

Always something with this thing. I'm going to pull the master and see what's up.

 

So you just had to get adapters to go from the F350 outputs to match the ranger lines? And the master bolted right up?

 

Yeah, I found the big fitting at the junkyard to fit the bigger port on the F350 master and the other at autozone then ran new hard lines to it.

 

ever see what was up with it yet?

 

Not yet. But after a bunch of reading that fitting I got from the junkyard seems to be a proportioning valve and is possibly keeping too much residual presure to the rear brakes.

Might try gutting it and see what happens.

 

New rigid light bar. This thing is badass.

 

Ever fix your braking issue?

 

I took the fittings off the master cylinder and it was a straight through fitting, no proportioning valve. So I put it all back together and it's been fine since. Not sure if it was just the new pads and rotors were too thick with the disc conversion. But after that it's been good. I guess the pads just needed to wear down a little bit.

 

Cool deal.

 

looks good! if you use you lights and rely on them, the name brand lights are sooooo much better then all the Chinese stuff
