That's a good one. I like the welded on headache racks. We put a rack on our 03 Ranger and when my buddy flipped it that thing saved him. There was a logging chain in the bed and you could see the indentation in the mesh. Probably would have hit him right in the back of the head.

Mine won't go up that high, it will be below the window.
Don't really like that gearz guy, and that was a fancy flatbed kit fuck me looked like buddy was slapping down some laminate flooring.

heh, well he always spends the cash for kit stuff, but he had one or two good tips as far as lining up everything twice before you drill/cut and always leaving room for the filler neck (if you go chassis tank). It's the little things that fuck you in the end.

what gears did you put in there?

I hope you put something 4.56-4.88 at least


also, time for bigger tires, those 39's look small


:D

Ordered 4.10's, front is already 4.10 and I'm not replacing my carriers right now on budget.
They look a lot bigger in person but they're only measuring at 37" for some fucking reason.

Nah 4.10's are fine, seen guys with 3.73's running 40's, not smart but they did it.
I'll go 4.88's later down the road when I put this drivetrain in a CJ.
Pushing it would be 37's locked on a dana 35 with 3.73's :lol:

I doubt I'll have it ready before winter, thought I would but it needs a fuck ton of work still.
Have to fab the flatbed, driveshafts, spring hangers in front, all shock mounts, and shorten the wheelbase.
Needs ring+pinion in rear.
Clutch put in and complete hydraulic system setup.
Brakes front and rear + plumbing.
Two holes in floor patched.
I think thats all for now .. :wacko:
