  1. I can't figure this one out...

    This is exactly what I do and my transmission runs perfect. It's been in the teens for some time and I dont get rough shifts at all. It runs very smooth as I always wait for RPMs drop.

    Last update on this thread then making a new one for the bypass cage. Just waiting on my shocks to arrive to start that process. so after painting the fiberglass I was getting paint chips from rocks flying from the front wheel. It was only going to get worst so I ended up rhino lining the...

    Update: After driving about 100 miles some city mostly highway miles with the Tom Woods one piece drive shaft I can confirm that it has completely eliminated any of the small vibrations in slow acceleration between(2-3-4) gears and highway speeds. It's pretty crazy because I almost expect it and...

    Today got the Tom Woods drive shaft in to. Took about 30 mins, not difficult at all. The only issue I would say is trying to torque the bolts. It really is impossible to fit a torque wrench and get proper specs. I just tightened down snuggly and used blue loctite which should be good. The spec...

  7. Updating photos for profile

    Im making this post because I'm wondering if anyone is having trouble adding photos to their profile. For some reason I havent been able to add any photos to my profile to update my avatar pic. It's been like this for months. Any way to fix this?

    I used the middle size restrictor for the last year and it's been good. One way to make sure the restrictor works is drive it at high speed like the highway for some time getting the temps up. If it doesn't cause a CEL your gold.

    Tons of bug splatter I’ll have to carefully remove. I’m not to pressure spray the truck for a few weeks to let the paint settle.

    Paint on truck is all done âś… Chris from elite custom paint in St George did a phenomenal job! Took about 18 days but well worth the wait considering what he charged me. I was quote around $3500-6500 just for minor body work and paint on the fiberglass. Chris charged me a 3rd of what other shops...

    After 18 days of no Ranger, finally getting her back today!! Luckily I have a second vehicle so I am not car-less. My little Volkswagen Jetta TDI is still a fun little car to drive, just rather drive the truck and sure do miss her.

    Update: Truck has been in St George, Utah getting painted for the last week. The shop had to fix up some pinholes in the glass and minor gelcoat cracking on the valence. Meanwhile I went to visit the TOM WOODS Driveshaft shop a few weeks back. I didnt realize it was local to me which is...

    Update: 2 weeks until paint, something I am excited about finally. While waiting for paint, I did add an extended transmission dipstick by @Fitzmotor since I was changing out the transmission pan by PPE. I didn't go with the deep pan since I dont think its necessary for my needs, plus I am...

    Did you get shackles custom made or are you using the OEM shackles? Im having the guy that does my Bypass cage do custom shackles for added travel. Im interested in seeing the custom 4 link. If it's good maybe you can sell me the set up ???. I got in contact with metalheadsfabs for the rear...

    Right on man! I contemplated 4-linking it but damn that is a process ? For now the pre runner deavers work and when the bypass shocks/cage gets installed I'll see how it rides. Definitely going to have to tune the shocks but hoping that is all I'll need for my fun! I'll be following your build...

    Thank you! The brakes lines were definitely a pain to install... I almost ran out of fluid in the reservoir LOL I quickly started filling before it got too low. I went through 5 motortcraft bottles of dot5 from Ford (it's not cheap). My problem was on the passenger side. When I went to attach...

    AHHH yes I think you are the Ranger with the Wicked long travel right? Ive been following your build for sometime on the Facebook pages. That front end is crazy! I definitely want to change ratio gears soon. I just ordered last week fox 2.5 triple bypass shocks for my front and rear. There is a...
