Need to race something soon or I'm gonna lose my mind.
Found a ton on CL but they either want a fortune or they are rotten. I'd rather pay a few bucks more for less rust. But 1800 seems like top end for a 96-97 2wd ranger

What are the thoughts? Max weight on the full Ranger will be about 2400-2600 when done and complete. The title says 2988, removing 400 to 500 seems reasonable. The seats weighed about 75 on their own.

not sure what sort of "package" Miller has put together, or how well tuned it may/may not be out of the box at this point.
I think all so far are on 2s, not 2.5s, but I wasn't looking closely at that when I did my check ride.

Just did a little research on the new FOA shocks. They have changed from aluminum body to steel body, that was most of the problem with the old ones.I found a site for a 2" c/o $150, they are hard to pass up for such a price, next in line price wise is a sway for $329

"Differentials are open"
I assume open means no restrictions.
The next line of the rules reads "ring and pinion ratios are open"
So we can swap in any rear axle.
Need some disc brakes.
But they"must remain stock"

this is the biggest area of consern on these trucks for me to get them to not blow apart on jumps
Post by: mr.mindless on March 10, 2015, 10:37:38 AM
Without having looked at anything yet, I'm planning to set shock mounting to bottom the shock before frame contact, and run a shaft stop on the shock, assuming they have no internal cushion. Hard/med/soft available http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Speedthane-223539-Blue-Bump-Stop-2-1-4-Inch-Height-Hard,59315.html
Perhaps a rubber bump between the frame and beam as well - there may be something factory there already? In case the shaft stops blow apart, or a hard hit blows through them.
Post by: M4wdFab on March 10, 2015, 10:41:30 AM
rules say rubber or poly bump stops and limit straps allowed.
Not sure if those shock stoppers are in the spirit of the rules. id def not set it up to bottom the shock out though lol

Post by: M4wdFab on March 10, 2015, 10:50:51 AM
the inertia switch located in the pass foot well kills motor (fuel pump?). bi pass and short pink and green wire. everything else under the dash junk.
Post by: mr.mindless on March 10, 2015, 11:10:10 AM
in order of contact from droop to compression:
shock shaft bump
upgraded bump in factory location
fully crushed shaft bump
fully crushed factory location bump stop
~1/2" to shock bottomed
~1/4" to beam crashed to bare frame
should I reverse the last two so if all bump stops fail, the beam crashes the frame before the shock fully bottoms? Laying it out like that, I think you're right. Frame should crash with ~1/8" of shock left. With stops in place, probably wasting about the top inch of shock travel but hopefully won't ever hurt the most expensive part of the truck :)
Post by: JEEPWERX on March 10, 2015, 12:46:49 PM
I planned to give these bumps a try. They fit the rules and my guess was that a poly bump would hold up better when it's contained within a cylinder.

Post by: M4wdFab on March 10, 2015, 12:51:29 PM
Mike dont for get you can put any size shock, probably a 12 or 14 on something that travels 8" at most.... not like 1/8" tolerances need to be in to play...
Post by: JEEPWERX on March 10, 2015, 01:08:04 PM
It's not air or hydro it's some sort of rubber /poly contained within a tube with a extension shaft. Sounds legal to me.

My first instinct is to be VERY excited. My second is to be terrified. That’s a lot of horses for activities.
Staying 4x2? If so, not nearly as scary.
I don’t think we could make 4x4 chevy frontends hold up to jumping with stock motor placement plus stock suspension design. Too much weight to live.
I’m not sure what the 4x2 frontend look like but at least we wouldn’t be trashing cv axles constantly when ball joints blow apart.

it will be very difficult to find tracks that have the appropriate run off and safety barriers in place for that much more speed and weight.
That's the description of the fear I'm feeling. Runoff and barriers are the need. We can't be having headons or hitting Jerseys square on, I don't want to design things that will let us get hurt. If we get into v8 4x4s we'll be going plenty fast to be thinking about crumple zones and safety cells in a short course world so a tee bone or square hit to a wall doesn't kill somebody.

You have been asking, here is what we have so far.
5/14 - Round 1 at Rolling W Ranch - West Sunbury, PA
7/30-7/31 - Round 2 & 3 at Bark River, MI (with TORC, pro classes run this weekend also)
9/10-9/11 - Round 4 & 5 - Rolling W Ranch double header
We will have 1 or 2 more races, but the weekends are not selected yet. They will potentially be points races, but may also treat them as stand alone cup races, based on when we can get the details finalized.
We will have a points championship this year! We will also post full results on finishing order, unlike last year... Each year we get a little better.
Entry fees will be $50/weekend + whatever the venue is going to charge us. This money will be reinvested into the program, to help us grow and get better. Looking forward to a great 2016!!
Post by: M4wdFab on March 19, 2016, 08:00:34 PM
scored 3 sets, probably 4 of the 6 are in 95-100%, 2 with some cracks but some 5 min epoxy or zip ties they would be fine before paint!

power and manual boxes listed. look interchangeable at a glance
pitman listed arms all specify p/s
also lists a steering rack bellows for manual steering. WTF? no steering racks listed - and that would be completely impossible with TTB anyway.

I can probably introduce you through FB to figure out a check ride if you're looking to move the red one and move on to the next one.

dissapointing that we only have 2-3 people interested in racing this weekend from FB chatter
Post by: mr.mindless on August 16, 2017, 11:17:09 AM
I think the long distances are hurting participation and it'd help to have events move around a bit more. Not a ton of trucks near my favorite track (RollingW). I'm sure the VT crew says the same thing when they drew none of us for the first Monson race this year.

still dont see any heavy hitters showing up to races boo.

second heat opposite direction was much harder on our 2wd trucks the the track was over watered also. 4x4 v8s took over alot quicker, dillon won again.
Mike had clutch issues both heats that slowed him down. he did get 2017 points series champion though!

Post by: mr.mindless on September 06, 2018, 07:04:50 PM
JJ is bringing his razr.
I hope it’s not a last, it’s worth the drive. But with nobody showing up.... bleh.
I need to get 571 in the garage, then I’ll be down to fix #5. Was falling asleep for 45m if the drive from Attica, needed a nap. Too much burning at both ends!

i told JJ to order his clutch parts he needs and to drop it off to get him to come out too. would be cool to get 5 trucks or more to rolling W
Mike you think about bringing 571 to V8 4x4 or 4x2 class? id do it
Post by: M4wdFab on June 03, 2021, 04:43:34 PM
3rd turn he end up whipped around so i think the steering quickener is working ;D

Bill was talking about running an electric water pump he had that bolts up.
hoping my motor is not hurt, it flogged it pretty hard with no water pump for 2 laps till it pulled timing enough to die.

I was thinking of heading out with buggy for shakedown but haven’t touched it at all yet. Worked a lot for a day off…. Waiting at vet now. 30m behind appointment time so far but got in in a day so I shouldn’t gripe.

JJ had done some skid steer work last night and He and Tucker were doing something with a water truck of some sort so didnt see them much. sun baked my arms and knees pretty good so i took off when i was done! farm hat and cooler was nice but need to throw some sunscreen in the IH for car show season i guess.

pull the lights, weld the diff, new spicer joints on the rear drive shaft, pull the front shaft, and trick the trans to hit OD in 4 low?
Post by: M4wdFab on August 23, 2022, 07:35:55 PM
4 x 4-4 Cyl. Cars
*Doors must be fastened shut (Regular locks NOT OK)
*Driver’s compartment interior panels must be intact

Sarah kept threatening to want to send her Malibu in Rally class but won't help with the prep and who wants to weld a FWD diff for a one-off throwaway? XJ/WJ 6 ought to be a winner. They usually run FWD not RWD iirc. With the right tires I think I'd rather be rear ¯\_(?)_/¯
Post by: M4wdFab on August 23, 2022, 10:12:57 PM
i think FWD was only run when it was super slopy
can you just cut a hole in the trans housing, drain, weld, then patch with zip screws / rtv lol?
