sick build brother. ever gonna get the supercharger on? not that you need it lol

 

It still in the plans. Going to get the drivetrain like I want it first then ill start on it.

 

Great work so far! Can't wait to see it finished.

 

Talk to Beard before getting a supercharger. Not really the best for low end if thats what your looking for.

 

Had a crossmember fabbed up today. Not a lot of room to work with under there with the driveshaft and exhaust in the way and wanting to keep it tucked up in the frame. lol

Pics suck.

 

Gah, I don't even have time to get one transfer case in.

I love this thing, I'll have cash in hand when you're done. :-P

 

Good looking doubler setup. Im getting close to installing mine in my ranger as well and it is always nice to see how others have done it. Your Explorer is sick!

 

Got my shifter ***** for the doubler today so pulled the shifters out and cut them down and threaded the ends for the *****.




Got a trip planned to Mountain City, TN next weekend to test it out finally. Going to try to get some new rock sliders put on this weekend.

 

Shifters look nice

 

yeah looks clean, nice job.

 

Where are you getting your sliders from?

 

Got the ARB put in yesterday



Also here is a pic when I was messing around the other night. You can kind of see the rock lights.

 

that last pic is awesome! lol

 

Went to Callalantee this past weekend in Mountain City, TN.

Didnt get many pics but couple other people got pics and vids. Ill see if I can get some.

Did farily well besides popping a few u joints and twisting off a rear driveshaft. Crawled everything I tried besides the stuff it broke on. The doubler is great. Should have done it a looong time ago.

The group shot.


Found some snow on one side of the mountain.


Twisted up pretty good.



Here is the ledge where it broke the rear shaft and u joint. Damns near had it cleared and a rock kicked out from under the back tire and landed on the frame/driveshaft. Back tires are about 2 feet in the air in these pics.



Driveshaft.


Not so pretty anymore. lol


Got this fix for the u joint problem in the mail. Should be here sometime this coming week. Cant wait to get it back together and get back out there and try the stuff again.

 

nice man i love how well it flexes. i want to do this bad

 

nice action shots

 

nice shots! dam.. a vid of the driveshaft twisting would be nice to watch.. cant really imagine how it happened :S

 

Nice pics! Looks like a blast.

 

It was. Lot better riding there then URE. Im going to be at URE next weekend though. You should come down if you free.

 

I bet. I want to go and check it out one of these days. Some of that stuff looks gnarly.

I probably won't be making a Uwharrie run until May. Got a beach trip to save for.

Take plenty of pics.

BTW I finally dug out my 1354M. Gonna start looking for another case to make up a doubler. I might hit you up for some help once I get started.

 

Just read all 14 pages and wow. I love what you are doing here and what you have done. Makes me wish I had the spare change around for a crawler like this

 

Cool deal. All you need for the doubler part is a manual 1350. There a dime a dozen. Let me know when you start on it and need some help and I can ride over one weekend and give you a hand with it or something.

 

Some pics Slowlyvverot sent me off his phone he got.





Popped the first u joint on that waterfall.

On a side not I drove 2.5 hrs there. Wheeled it. Drove 2.5 hrs back home and got around 17mpg. Not to shabby.

Expecting a package from fedex tomorrow. Woo hoo. Also ordered some more parts today. Pics tomorrow.

 

Well maybe these will fix the u joint problem I was having.







Got some drive flanges and teflon spindle bushings on the way. Also got a set of spindles getting bored out. Should have them in next week sometime.
