Way cool! Sure looks like a lot of fun too, only wish I had the money to do something like that to my truck.

 

Im sorry, but IRS pickups should be left to honda.

If you want to do any sort of axle swap I suggest doing the reverse and going to a SAS up front.

One of my rangers will be getting 1-ton Dana 60s in the next year or so. Im not sure if I want to use one of the two I have or get another one though.

 

what wheels are those?

 

just, why?

thats like me converting to sd when i have a lowered truck

 

Yea, i saw it in some 4x4 magainze (go store and look for it with that truck on front page) it had a pix of that black F150 went airborone

YOMAN!

 

those are the stock wheels with a ring welded on to make a bead lock.

 

That's cool!

 

Its on the cover of this months Four Wheeler mag.

 

NICO,

You would want to do this if you want to run WIDE FREAKIN OPEN in the desert or like terrain. A solid F & R is really only good for rock crawling and that sort of 4x4. You could never get a solid axle to go over 4' whoops at 90 to 100 (maybe never is to strong but IFS will do it much better).

Plus imagine if you had an extreme IRS set up were if you were rock crawling you could have one tire flat with full contact patch firmly planted and another 5' in the air on a boulder.

 

That role cage in that truck is SICK! holy cow, thats some quality work!

 

Looks like a winner to me.

 

Way SICK! And it's even a 133 wheelbase... too hot!

 

I really enjoy looking at something like this where someone has taken ENDLESS HOURS of WORK DONE RIGHT to achieve perfection.

It's truly a testament that there are folks out there that do quality work and genuinely care about what they do...

I saw that truck in person at the Parker race last month. The work is pretty good but that cage is too mild to hold up if he wads the truck up going real fast.
