Re: regearing question

Thanks. Guess I'm at a 3.73 though I still can't tell what I 'should' be at now. The first link showed different ratios for different purposes, but doesn't tell me what will put it back to correct...

regearing question

Searched the forum for threads on regearing- but I can't make sense of the info yet because I'm a newbie to this. Basically I went from stock tires to 31s a few months ago and when calculating my MPG...

Re: Anyone ever replace their bumper brackets?

The long bracket that goes corner to corner isn't adjustable and the once I posted pics of are only adjustable side to side. Can't figure where the up-down movement would come from.

Re: 2000 2WD 3.0- Beginners Build

I hear ya, and to each their own! Luckily I'm a lady so I'm OK with emasculating LOL. Personally after the swap I finally feel like the truck is 'done'. It's not, much left to do, but I'm much...

Re: Anyone ever replace their bumper brackets?

What's confusing is that when I look online for new brackets, I see stuff that looks totally different than what's going on with mine. These are the ones that are bent- and not seeing replacements...

Re: 2000 2WD 3.0- Beginners Build

Rain died down so I got to finish up.

Didn't have whatever clips are supposed to go here, so until I figure that out, zipties!

Re: 2000 2WD 3.0- Beginners Build

Started the process of swapping the front end today. Got almost done and the skies opened up. Figured "Hey, let's not mess with headlights in the pouring rain" so I'll finish when it dies down.

Ordered stuff to swap my 2000 front end with a 2001. As of now the bumper sags a bit- it must have hit something before I bought it. I'll be interested to see what everything looks like when I pull...

Re: 2000 2WD 3.0- Beginners Build

Aligned and ready to go! Second shop said LOL when I told them about the first shop recommending chopping the tie rods. They DID have to repack the bearings though.

Re: 2000 2WD 3.0- Beginners Build

Re: 2000 2WD 3.0- Beginners Build

Greased the bearings and the squeal seems to have subsided. So I ripped out the bed liner, herculined it, and made the jankiest skid plate over ever. The hoses to the transmission cooler were way too...

Instant intense wobble- camber off??

Did a lift on my 2wd ranger that requires adjustable camber bolts to get a proper alignment. My dumb ass ordered two bolts- forgetting that EACH side needs two bolts. So right now one side has...
