Nice work guy!

 

when you making it back up to the dunes? brah!

 

probably never! haha

he never talks to me anymore

 

Awww what a Jerk! we'll have to start calling him Too Cool Evan

 

I got a question for ya about your 4406 t case swap, What all parts did it take to do that?? I wanna gather the parts before I tear into it

 

just the case, and a manual linkage and shifter from any late 90's to early 2k f-150 or expedition etc with a manual t-case

 

Ok I got all that stuff, It looks like I am gonna have to shorten my rear driveshaft by quite a bit

 

oh yeah you'll have to do that too, I had to twice cause after I did my long travel rear I had to give myself some more play.

 

I am just a stock little ranger so I shouldnt have to do it more than once. Provided I can figure out my motor issues first

 

Finally got some of my fuel system stuff in, so hopefully I can get at finishing most of that this weekend. I still dont have a couple -6AN that are suppose to ship the 14th,and the fuel cell straps should be here tomorrow.

Here is my pile of goodies. I'll be tapping right into the hardline right where it meets the frame rail,driverside wheel well.

-pile of AN fittings
-steel braided fuel line
-trick flow fuel filters
-trick flow bypass regulator
-high flow/pressure fuel pump
-15gal sump alum. fuel cell

 

lol..double post

 

Hate you...

 

Good. Two months to go man.


Get to it.

 

Double post.

there used to be Mods to clean this place up....

 

yeah what's the deal? i only clicked post once.

I should be ok,just have a couple strong weekends to get it ready to put back together. just need the weather to hurry up and get warm. need to degrease and paint everything,get some new cv boots put on my axles and finish the fuel system. there are a few other things i "want" to do but may have to save that for after the trip,when i have a house/garage to tear it down again. I want to plate the frame,build motor up,full cage etc.

 

im shooting for boxing my frame. we shall see how that goes! good luck man!looks like fun

 

started mocking up the fuel cell,need to get some metal and couple more tools brought over. I'll get quite a bit done Saturday hopefully.



found my tire groover..got bored..made new tread for the rear. hopefully they work kinda like a paddle.

 

here.








yea, that should work!

 

thanks! stupid photobucket app on my phone didnt work too well i guess..that or the beers on a snowday got in the way lol..

 

Got the fuel cell mount done. Had to change up the spare carrier by adding a tube to keep it from hitting the fuel cell,because of where I wanted it. Only problem I may have with where I put the cell is the rear axle at full compression hitting the bumpstops. From what I can tell it maybe have a half-inch of space or may Tap it. So I may have to get some new bumpstops that are an inch longer or so. I cant really move the cell up anymore cause it will hit the bedcage. I didnt want to put it right next to the cab for weight distribution reasons,so I hope this works out.

Picked up a Optima yellow top today,and have a BTF optima battery box mount on the way. Also have a fuel gauge,fuel pressure gauge,some brake line parts and a battery cable junction box for the existing cables to connect to the relocation cables.

few pics:

 

That splash of red is gonna look sweet, how many gallons and how much was the kit?

 

Its a 15 Gal cell,The parts I pieced together from summit. All said and done it was 900+. It's a lot cheaper if you were doing it for a carb'd car/truck. The high psi pump, and regulator are not cheap,nor is a high quality aluminum fuel cell.

 

Ouch!

 

why i still have my stock tank!

 

Looking good. Tires should work awesome!
