for those who havent read my thread on the death of the danger ranger, i had an unfortunate accident involving a 3ft or so deep mud hole and my ranger. i pulled the motor apart and saw the damage today. the trusty little 3.0 is dead, and instaed of spending the money to put a 3.0 back in it, im going another way. i already have a 5.8 ford motor, and the matching 5 speed tranny and transfer case from a early 90s ish ford f-150. naturaly, the motor would eat my current axles alive, plus i really hate ifs. so the plans are for fullsize truck axles front and rear. heres where i need help. i have built some custom offroad vehicles in my backyard before, but never anything like this. i need sugestions, and to draw from the vast amount of knowlege that other much more experianced wheelers have. so let me know what u think or if there is anyway you would like to help, or if any of you have any spare axles layn around that you would like to get rid of.
