@YamahaWR200 trust me, i've been doing a shit load of reasearch on what tires would best suit my on/off road adventures! more than likely gonna grab the Kumho Road Venture MT (KL71) or Goodyear Wrangler MT/R with Kevlar. and i'm sticking to 31's so i shouldn't have to much fuel mileage issues. besides, i go through/over too much shit as it is, if i go much bigger/higher............i'll just get into more trouble. ;)
@YamahaWR200 so that locker has nice street manners? i was thinking of installing one in my DD, but didn't want to run into any issues with it being driven on pavement.
@1oldskoolluvr yeah, a lot of people told me not to do it, but I talked to a buddy on mine that had his locked on his samurai and he said it wasn't bad. So I figured I may as well try it. And it has been fine...
@1oldskoolluvr No prob. And yeah, I think I am over 10k miles but not exactly sure how many.. And I don't remember the brand. It was a mini-spool I bought on ebay for like 70 bucks or something..
@1oldskoolluvr Yeah, I was putting on around 50k a year until I switched to 31" mud terrains. Then I dropped down to about 25k a year. Then when I switched to 35's I dropped to about 18k. Then going to the swampers that wore out after LITERALLY 8k miles, I can't afford to drive very far. ha ha Now I only drive short distances to school and back. Go in the gf's car everywhere now. I am actually in the process of getting 35x1250x15 LTB's now. And a side set of AT's for the street.
@TheJrsagar Desc. says everything I have done to it. I don't remember the different brands I used. I know the body lift was PA, but other than that I don't remember. Factory ford ranger blocks as well.
@NickLTR No exhaust right now. I had a SWEET sounding exhaust on my last ranger that I sold to my bro, but he refuses to sell me the exhaust back and would only buy the truck if it had the exhaust on it. ha ha Anyway, I personally think the BEST sounding ranger exhausts are full length exhaust but swapping the factory muffler out for a cherry bomb and cutting the exhaust right before it turns out the side.. Sounds so nice...
he might of bought the locker but not installed it [correct me if im wrong] but at 0.34 you can hear the other tyre spinning along with the wicked HA HA
ps when he said I DONT WANT TO i would of stopped the camera and deleted the last video to save space
@deanoobaby No it was in. Not a chance a 2wd could have done that without man... Not without some speed. It couldn't have just pulled right up that without the locker that slowly..
@Phantom2814 ha can't destroy my DD man. Gotta get to school everyday.. I could have made it, but I didn't have that much confidence that I could at the time.. I have another video of me trying to make it in the rain..
@DosxxriderFilms Well, I am having some engine problems right now with some smog thing, so it is pretty bad.. But when my truck is up and running perfectly, it is just under 20...
How difficult is it to get highway speeds with a locker? I also have a 2WD Ranger and was thinking of a locker for it simply for the Midwest winters. I still need to drive it though so it would still have to be able to drive highway speeds.
@TheNatchMan Mine is my daily driver. And the locker does not affect the normal driving at all. It is only at very low speed tight turns. But then at that point, it is pretty annoying.. But overall, if I didn't tell someone, they would never know it was locked. (On the street)
@TheNatchMan If you look in the description, it says everything I have done to it. I am running a mini-spool. Which is basically a spool but it only replaces the spider gears. So with help, it is probably a 1hr or less install. And it cost me around $70 including shipping I believe. Definitely one of the best investments besides tires.. I will be putting up a mini-spool install video hopefully in the next couple weeks with a walk around of my truck..
i cant stand when people say 2wd cant offroad...most of the time 4wd drive is only used if u get stuck,but most people use it just cause they have it...u dont need it if u dont get stuck..this is the baddest 2wd ranger on youtube..nice vid.
@MudJugger298 It says in the description what all the specs are. It is a 2wd. I am building up a 2wd to try and do the Rubicon with. All I have left is a couple suspension things to clear up, and a t-case.. And after I do the Rubicon, I will be converting it to 4wd..
@YamahaWR200 nice man it sounds like a great project. im working on converting my 89 2wd. its a fantastic ranger to have, i put the 4.0L in mine and im working on getting ahold of a 4wd axle, everythin else i already have.
@MudJugger298 Yeah. And I would LOVE to put the 4L in this, but.. I spend too much money on guns.. So it is a slow process with my truck.. ha ha You gonna put videos of it up when you do it? You gotta video the conversion. Or at least take pics and make a slide-show for youtube,,,
What a FUCKEN pussy old man. Take that shit to the junkers!! I would have made it up there easy small little hill FUCKEN fag wimp ass pussy shit eater penis breath dumbass I know for a fact it would of made it. Urghh gay video u should have made a video of u changing your tampon qeer estupido I thought u were going to make it up that little small hill. U give 2wd trucks a bad name.
@davidjonatan Watch my other video where I tried it in the rain.. After I tried it in the rain, I found that I probably could have made it. I give 2wd trucks a bad name? Really? I'll make you a deal.. You upload a video of you doing something that hard or harder and i'll have you post it as a video response and you can talk all the s*** you want.. But if not, then I can either delete your comment, or let everyone that watches this vote you down.. ha ha
@FFparker09 Uh.. I don't right now. In this video, i only had the 2 cats and it was cut off just behind the passenger door. i am currently messing with it so I don't have a muffler on. It is pretty quiet though..
@lakiask8ter660 No.. I am doing everything I can to avoid it. If you watch my other videos, on some of them, you can here the tire hit it. I am gonna try and lift it another inch or so and hope that helps.
@chelits91 Well, its got 5.71's in it, so that helped a TON!! But it is definitely not the quickest to get up to speed on the on-ramp. But I can still get on the freeway at 60-65 if I try and it is running good. It will comfortably get on the freeway at around 55 or so with not too much effort. As a DD, the motor is plenty, but off-road, I could use the 4L. (3.0 is garbage)
@YamahaWR200 I figured. I have a 95 with the 2.3 and it only has 31"s and its not that bad with 4.10 gears. I'm planning on getting an 8.8 and lock it and run 33's and probably gear it to 4.56s. Nice truck by the way.
@chelits91 Thanks man, I love it.. I'm gonna hopefully add another inch or so to my body lift in the next couple months or so so that my tires stop rubbing on the fenders and maybe move up to 37's. Anyway, my brother is running his ranger on 33x12.50's with a stock 2.5 and over 200k miles and 3.73's (stock gearing). He can only use up to 4th gear (stick), but.. As a DD it does ok, but off road the gearing sucks.. Auto's can usually use taller gearing and get away with it though.
@SuperRanger4x4 You can just google it.. But because i'm a nice guy I will answer it for a second time.. A locker forces both axles to turn at the same speed. So if you put a locker in a differential, it makes both wheels turn at the same speed, no matter the circumstances.
@ps2guy944 A locker forces both axles to turn at the same speed. So if you put a locker in a differential, it makes both wheels turn no matter the circumstances.
dang man 4cly with that much tire. is it a 5 speed? i bet its a bitch to stop and pull out haha. but yeah my ranger is stock 8.8 inch rear end. you should really replace the clutch packs in the rear end. you may think that the 8.8 is great. get the carbon fiber clutch disks and youll be amazed man. ford racing makes em
@411FordRanger Stopping is a problem, but other than that it is alright.. And there are no discs in the rear.. It is a mini-spool which means it is locked 100% of the time.. It says in the desc. what all I have done..
@411FordRanger hopping is when the front is locked usually.. I honestly can't tell unless I am at like parking lot speeds.. It will chirp the tires at almost full crank, but... It is usually pretty quiet.. But it saps a LOT of power at low speeds turning.. It is REALLY bad going super slow turning, but at normal driving speeds, even in turns, I can't even tell it is locked..
I would have nailed that thing going 30
