Sweet! You know that Ford 9 inch front and rears fit nicely under those!
What are the specs on it? It really does look sweet, and I am a Ford man through and through, but sometimes a truck is just too long to fit down the trails!

 

Nice ride, all I can say is I hope you have that thing geared right! Thos tires are huge!

Looks like fun especially in the mud.

In the future I wouldn't mind getting an older jeep and playing around with it making it the "ultimate" offroader. With the F150 they are just too big and too heavy sometimes.

 

its a 91 jeep wrangler. the specs are 5.7l tbi chevy motor, fullsize chevy 1 ton d60 front and corp 14 bolt rear axles with 5.13 gears and detriot lockers in both, the tranny is a th350, t case is a clocked and suped up d300, it is spring over on 4 inch yj springs up front and 4 inch waggoneer springs in the rear,1 inch body lift, total lift of around 12 inches, the tires are 39.5 boggers although 44 fit easily due to the body being chopped

i used to run 79 ford 1/2 ton axles in it with 35s but i was snapping the front axleshafts and rear d shafts to much.

 

WOW nice specs. Sounds like a lot of fun. So how much money do you think you have droped into that thing? I assume you did most of the work yourself or did you pay someone to do it. I personally am not much of a mechaninc but have friends who are, I personally don't like getting my hands greasy thats why I chose the computer field.

I very much enjoy getting out of the city and going places where very few others can go. So offroading is about the only way to do that, helicopters are kinda expensive so the 4x4 is my last option.

Tell me with the lockers in front and back hows this thing do on the street?

 

I use my F150 for the mild stuff and the dunes. My 94 Wrangler with the lift, 44's. atlas 4.3 etc is for the serious stuff. The truck is just too long for the narrow canyons and rocky trails. The a-arm suspension limits the articulation even with a lift and bigger tires.

 

i built it all myself in the yard, dont even have a garage. been playing with 4x4 since i was a kid. my show trucks have always been ford, then i got more into the hardcore wheeling and i use a jeep chassis and body for that. i would never abuse my 150 like i abuse my jeep. the jeep body is all 1/4 inch steel panels bolted to the original body. its been rolled, flopped and and just about everything else. its always been trailered home by a ford. long ago i gave up driving it to the trail and expecting to drive it back home. lockers front and rear are fine on the street as long as you have hubs and keep it in 2x. i dont drive it on the street to often it is very much illegal.
