Hmm Derek I will check into that. Not worried about the speed it disengages. The procedure to lock the rear takes too long and i thoroughly enjoy a light goose every now and the in a good spot for some sideways action. Also traction control off messes with my cruise control. I know, I know; I...
Haha omg I would die going over blood mountain. No guard rails. Never seen a survivor if and when they find the car missing. They don't believe in wasting money on guard rails here. Also Ive never been a fan of that method, spool if you have too, but I like turning also.
What are we gonna do with these rear ends fellows? Seriously? The locker is not even doing it for me. Im seriously thinking of Frankensteining an 8.8 with our lug pattern 31 spline axles and cutting the axle tubes and just doing way too much work to make something I know that can do what I...
Nice taunt the Lighting trailering the fox. Rub it in good why don't you?
Im only remembering the good times. Im still angry as my wife forced me to sell the L. It got 12 mpg at best. It had 410 gears and I like playing so it frequently got single digits. Everyone wanted to race you. When you...
Ive only owned 3 trucks in my life including the ranger. A mildly built Lightning and an s10 full drag tubbed small block chevy on juice. Most of my drag racing was done in fox bodies.
Mike the notch in the far lane is mine at Moroso. I snapped a couple engine pics turns out one is before I...
I was always frustrated that I could never find a clip of this system. I apologize in advance for my poor camera skills. I'm no fucking Federico Fellini for sure. Also I will add an idle clip and a throttle blip video as well. I'm just too lazy atm, but I promise I will update it. Oh and the...
I have a feeling we would get along well sir. If we can stop scarecrowing each other! I actually want the damn thing to run mid 12s on pump gas! Yeah I feel you I'm at ~3k altitude and hours from a track. also its nice to be able to drive fast again. Ice in the mountains is either a no drive or...
Once again Ill say I trust Docs time. He has put in the seat time. His truck is real world representative of what a ranger 2wd on gas can run. Thats once you learn how to drive it to the best of its capabilities. His truck made great power. Its lighter, lower and on tires that are decent for...
Ok post your video or time slip after your run. Short enough for you? Show me 1 video of a 12 second gas Ranger. I guess google just hides the plethora of 12 sec time slips ranger posts from me alone sir. The problem is there are lots of people that have never even been to a drag strip claiming...
Searched for 12 second Rangers. I only found one video of a 12.83 on methanol on a public street verified by draggy app. I cant verify if the road is flat, but it looks it. I can see he is stopped and brake torques to ~3k rpm and launches in 4wd. Yes it launches hard the hammer drop 4wd launch...
I'm not trying to diss you so please take no offense. I have yet to see a video or even a time slip that shows a 12 second 1/4 time for any late model Ranger. I don't disagree that the power is great from the engine. I disagree when it comes to the power being great for the weight of the truck...
Oh I already have all that mate. I have an afe intake on it the enclosed box one. My exhaust is the afe dump before the pass rear tie.(you can see that in the pic) I got the muffled one not the resonated one. I have the gb bit bov the dual cans, no power gains in most of this stuff honestly...
I'm in Blairsville. Haha , not trying to clone your truck. The one in the pic below though :P Which I think you and I both are trying to clone. My file date for the pic is 12/3/2019. I have just been busy with projects around the house. I was actually one of the first buyers for the belltech...
ill try to take pics another day and repost. I was beat and just snapped a few quick pics and oh here is the tire comparison. Sorrys its an extremely brief movie :P The old tire/rim was pressed against the new one, but it looks all messed up perspective wise. The new tire is 25.8" ground to top...
Well I didnt get part#s off the leaf, but when I pulled both struts I had an oh shit moment when I saw they were different part #s. I cross referenced them with Ford and came up with:
2 wheel L/H Drive High Ride, Super Single Cab RAP, Chassis Cab RAP-Crew Cab
The part # was different when I...
Finally did it today. I bought the whole Belltech kit over a year ago including control arms. I did the whole swap today on the ground, but I was a tech in a past life. I had my cordless impact which made it go quick. My Ranger is an FX2 so I could get the locker. Unfortunately it utilizes...
Fixed with Forscan. The value used for 295/35/18 was 2014mm. This was for Toyo Proxes AS. At 70 mph speedometer indicated two gps devices/aps confirm 70mpg dead on. Picture to show comparison of stock 265/60/18 compared to the new setup. The stock wheel is directly against the new wheel tire...
