Yeah it's a ford body...with chevy axles, engine and drivetrain...what's the matter what make the body panels are? That thing will out-wheel your rig I guarantee you that. 400ci Chevy engine, detroits f/r on a dana 60 and a chevy 14-bolt rear, 32-gallon fuel cell.

No weak dana 44's to blow apart. :roll:

i dunno if it would out wheel MY rig, my stock YJ with 31's that i bought out of some guys backyard in oakdale. yea they are only ford body panels, but thats no match for my jeep body, with holes in the floor. 400ci motor? biiiiig deal, i gotta a stock chrysler 4.0 with 179k on it.


that thing is no match for my jeep.

yeah...like you come close to 40's and a 400ci locked front/rear with un-breakable axles.

It's a mudder, whoooppppeee!

But on the serious side, unbreakable axles? Dude, rockwells break! Esp on 40's behind that moter.

60's and 14's break too, just let me try if it's not my rig :wink:

I actually have to sorta............agr....ee......with dp on this............that it is pretty bad ass..............but remember the only reason it is, is that it is chevy built, with ford skin.........



...............On second thought, what a waste of chevy parts :roll:

And where the hell did all the Jeep/chrysler bashing come from.........what since you have an ranger, now you're a big ford guy and bash Jeeps?!!??

Bill
05-19-2005, 07:58 PM
No...him and Matt tend to just bash each other.

They have.... ISSUES!

dp

Nothing against jeeps. If I could afford to have both, I would. I just needed a vehicle that was good on the street and had AC. I already had a ranger with the 3.0 engine, and I liked it, but felt it needed more get-up-and-go...so I opted for the 4.0. The only reason it's a Ford is because they were having $4500 in rebates at the time when I was looking -- just so happened to be when my AC at work was broken, so I was fed up.

There is nothing more capable than a Jeep in stock form, I know that, I think everyone knows that. I just think that particular ranger/chevy/whatever would go through more than most Jeeps on this board. The only reason I brought that up was because everyone was bashing it because it was a Ford.

The crack at the dana 44 was at Matt (nothing personal toward him or you) -- just because a locked 44 on 35's with the horsepower a 318 puts out was a bad idea...he knows that and I believe he has plans to rectify the problem.

Hell, a 44 is probably just as strong as my 8.8 -- if not stronger.

Seriously, go back through and re-read, everyone started the Ford-bashing right from the get-go...not the other way around.

Yeah...I think I'll stick with my original statement...That thing will out-wheel your rig I guarantee you that.

Anyone who's rolling in 29's and thinks they can out-wheel anything on 40's is just plain nuts. End of discussion :wink: [/img]

I don't think anyone here's arguing that it's a sweet rig, or that my rear 44 + my right foot + slightly modded 318 is just STUPID!

Just that it's not THAT great ;)

Actually that axle should have held up fine to my type of wheeling, I started out with bent mosers last year and only bent them further, and the guy who set the gears origionally was an idiot. Time will tell if it holds up or not though.

Now the front HP30 on the other hand.. That you should be making fun of me for. I got a Warn hub conversion for a reason :lol:

Yes. I have noticed it too. I didn't want to call them out on it. I figured when they are ready to come out the closet they will.

There is nothing like young love. :smt060 :smt055

Oh...you see how the sky is sunny and there's some innocent looking clouds up there -- but yet it's still raining, ever-so-slowly...well yeah, thank me because I washed my truck again.

Oh...and while I'm at it -- you know how it's been like 65 all week -- yep, me again, since I got A/C. Sorry. :roll:
