I don't know what it is, and I can't quite put my finger on it. The back end seems to want to slide sideways when I'm offroad, but then again thats physically unpossible. Oh wait, maybe its a problem in the suspension? Nah, couldn't be that. I'm at a loss. Maybe I should ask in the sliding sideways thread, there seems to be some really good advice from a few members in there.














































Oh, now I see, the stupid thing turned itself into a Jeep







This forum needs some better smilies.

 

darn heeps

i believe it has an idenity crisis.

 

Actually there are only 3 Jeep parts on it. Other than that its all Ford.

The grill, the hood, half the frame, and half the tub. I know technically thats 4, but the last 2 only add up to 1 item


I just wish that it didn't have to sit for a month before I can use it.

 

seems like a pretty decent setup. Im lookin to build my trail buggy soon. Probably gonna start with a Sami, not sure yet though.

have you used it at all yet?

whats the specs t-case, diffs... you know the run down

 

Nope, haven't use it yet. I just picked it up today.


Stang 5.0 HO/C-6 (junkyard)/4.3 Stak (hate it so far)
Air Shocks/ 4 link f-r
Ford kingpin D60/ PSC full hydro/ 5.13s/ lockrite/ Yukon 35sp shafts/ chromo drive slugs
14bolt/ welded/ 5.13s
39.5 Irocks on 17" GLO beadlocks

 

plan on changing the t-case? if so whats the plans there?

Not sure about that 5.0 but i geuss its not that bad of a swap eh?

 

dude.... nice trail rig

 

I'm planning on seeing if Stak has any ideas on the hard shifting. If I can't get any resolution there I'll run it until I can get an Atlas in it.

The 5.0L swap is a good one. The 302 has tons of aftermarket support and can make good hp easy. I'm not planning on running rocks or anything huge for tires and its just a trail rig/light comp rig so I don't need gobs of power. I'm tempted to try it in RCRocks sometime. The previous owner ran it in that series and it meets comp rules.
