Demontang,
Lets hear some stats on your Ranger and Bronco.
I'm a Ford fanatic myself, so your trucks caught my eye :drool:
-
The bronco is a 94, I have done a sas with a dana 44 out of a 77f150, limited 8.8,4.56 gears, lifted it with 79bronco springs, add a 300hp 5.0, and put bed liner along the bottom, and 35" discoverer.

Thanks admiring.
I'm getting a 69 fj40 soon for a trail rig :dunno:.

My ol trusty F-250! Too bad she has a drinking problem, 460 and all! :'(

I like that white ford! Regular fuel still costs less than this diesel hog.

Price may be cheaper for Gas, but doesn't the diesel get better mileage to even it out?
I know my 360 in my 2001 Ram is killing me!

Not with 37" Toyo MT's ;)

Here is what I tow to deer camp.....
That pic should be posted on the Sportsmans Warehouse trophy board :chuckle:

I hear ya there. I got an 02' Ram with the 360 in it. Right about 12.5 MPG. Not really my idea of a huntin' rig.

Works great for hunting, just sucks for driving!
Here is the only picture I can find here at work of it.

Here's my huntin Rig
-
Mine....94' Ford Centurion C350 1 ton conversion. Commonly referred to as a four door Bronco. Just a tad bigger than the Excursion.
Also has a drinking problem....460 gas. :(
-
If you ever want to get rid of the centurion let me know.
-
If you ever want to get rid of the centurion let me know.
I will.....may be a possibility if a certain opportunity comes about and I have to spend more time on the road as I might be looking for something more economical.
-
I wanted a Centurion for a long time then they came out with the Excursion and I love it.
-
I may as well have bought an excursion....have the expedition....should have gone full blown...

I may as well have bought an excursion....have the expedition....should have gone full blown...
They are getting hard to find now that Ford quit making them. They have replaced it with the Expedition EL, an extended version of the Expedition. It will have a twin turbo diesel available for it this coming year and rides more like the Chev Suburban.
-
Yeah the eco freaks put too much pressure on Ford to quit making them. My wife wanted one real bad at one point and now she has a thing for a Tahoe. Here is a picture of my hunting rigs!
-
All depends on the situation!
First is a pic of one of the old ranch trucks. You gotta love the old trucks, truely built solid and you dont care if something happens to them. This one is nic named Bull Frog....bull horns out the grill and nice puke green paint :chuckle:
Second is one of the quads. Gotta use them to cross seeded ground(light enough not to effect it)
-
I drive a Bulldozer and tow a Utility Trailer everywhere I go.

My "rig" a 97 T-100 with a lot of miles, but still going strong.

Here's my all around hunting fishing dyno pulling machine! 2000 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4.
Best dyno pull to date 503 hp, 1035 lbs trq.
Yeah it gets me to my hunting spots real quick.
I know you all want to know what my mileage with all the aftermarket goodies under the hood. Well I still get 21 when I am cruising on the freeway. 17 or so back and forth to work and a little less in traffic and around town.
Although when I turn on all the go fast buttons and lay it to the floor the sky turns dark, the sound of a 9.0 earthquake fills the air and thoughts of armageddon enter peoples minds and alot of white smoke piles off the rear tires and I get maybe 4 miles to the gallon.

Here is my ride. A 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 Mega Cab. Laramie package, leather, Infinity Surround Sound, heated seats for cold days, and lots of room in the back. Have to get pics of my BedSlide up too. Makes loading game so easy. Also have to find a pic of the wife's. She has a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 too. Both are diesels. Her rides like a truck. Mine floats like a cloud. I call it my Backwoods Bentley.

I love the older rigs. I always chuckle when I see these guys in their brand new F-350's scratching them. People must have more money than brains these days with the gas prices.

all i have is a $2000 custom bumper on my beater $1000 1985 ranger.

This project has been setting in my garage for the last 5 years. Dropped the whole drive trail for upgrades to gears, axles, brakes and tires. Retiring this year and will have this as a full time project after hunting season. This will then be my full time hunting rig except when I'm towing the trailer. Maybe a nice camo paint scheme for the finishing touch?

2008 dodge power wagon
-
Speaking of hunting rigs, I just saw a really nice silver Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab magnum edition that was lifted with big tires at a local insurance auto auction. I was drooling that it would make a great hunting rig, it was like a 2005 or 2006. Didn't seem to have anything wrong with it other than a busted head light and fog light. I was wondering if it had been stolen and already paid off by the the insurance company by the time it had been recovered. Either way, it was pretty freaking sweet and I felt sorry for whoever once owned it and poured a bunch of money into it.

:yeah:
I don't call it stuck, I call it "temporarily immobilized" :chuckle:
When dad bought the Jeep in 1982, it still had the dealer plates on it when the winch was put on. It's like duct tape, 10,000 uses besides pulling yourself out.

Never had to turn around,,,yet! Its for sale in the classifieds.

I don't know how much bigger i would have wanted to go...they are nitto terra grappler 35x13x18r's, 37's would rip off the fenders without at least a 8in lift, mine is a 6 in lift, IMO I think the 8 inch plus lifts with 37's are too big, but, to each his own ehh and they do look skimpy in the pic for some reason, but they are about 75% tread left in this pic, just bad lighting or something dunno :dunno:

It is kinda anticlimactic to have that big lift and those huge bushwhackers and have smallish wheels and tires. :hello:
I think I found the setup you think I should get, is this more like you were thinking? :chuckle: :hello:

Looking at photos, I don't have too many of the truck but here's mine. It's served me well for almost 20 yrs. It has mud tires now since it got demoted from my daily driver. The beer was opened when we got back to camp for you internet police.

but it does look like the tabs are expired :chuckle:

well the beer is one thing,.... but whats the flashliht on the bow for? :yike:

HAHA and wheres the tag on that elk and did you use that flashlight
-
Is that an approved off road area? :chuckle:

Looks like mud flaps may be in order.

That's no flashlight, it's my receiver antenna for my heat seeking arrows. :chuckle: That flashlight thread will live forever.

Been elk hunting for 40 years. How in the hell do you get an elk out whole and loaded in the back of a pick up? I gotta learn some new tricks. Geez.....my aching back. :chuckle: :chuckle:

Here is mine. 92 Honda civic four door. Hand me down with great gas mileage. Two whole deer so far but elk will need to be boned out I imagine.

Just recently sold this....
[smg id=10477]
And now I'm hunting out of this....
[smg id=10478]
Well I didn't have a pic of my sedan so I had to steal one from the net. Same make, year, model, color. The mileage is slightly better in the car. I was getting 20mpg in the powerstroke and I get 26 in the Honda but the real difference is not having to lift that little green handle at the gas station. Saves me about a buck a gallon plus the difference in mileage makes over $150 per week savings. Add to that the cost of 35" tires every year, the cost of diesel parts and oil changes vs the Honda and I am getting close to saving 10k per year. :IBCOOL:
-
I wish I had a picture of my Montana trip about 10 years ago. I drove a Geo Metro at the time. Killed a nice 4 x 5 muley and a 4 x 5 elk. Had the elk quarters and head and the deer (dressed) packed in with all my stuff. Had the hatch tied down and kept the windows open (to keep the meat frozen). Stopped at a game check station and the guy behind me got out to take a picture of my "rig".

We got a huge cow Elk in the back of a International Scout once. Had the head up on the dash and the legs were still dragging the ground. The front tires were almost off the ground. :chuckle:

The truck is a '91 and I bought it in Federal Way in the mid '90's...don't know it's history before that but I've had a lot of people tell me it looks familiar to them over the years.

Finally got it back (although far from finished), and had to hold true to my word by posting up a pic.

This one has a ZF 5-speed, it blows my mind how smooth it shifts for being a 72'.

I know! I have been hearing a lot of people talking about them on here. Is yours pretty wobbly driving down the road with the 5.5 lift? I have a 2.5 and I have heard once you go over the 3.5 you start white knuckling pretty bad keeping it between the lines.

NICE!
Alot of great members at northwestclassicbroncos.com!

Nice lookin rig seabeckian. I live just off Seabeck Hwy - would love to get a closer look at it. I'm hoping that this is the year I can get my '69 running again. I need a better garage *sigh*.

Great rigs.

Good lookin' ride. Ya needa winch ? I bought a 9000# Warn TABOR for $479 delivered from: www.truckaddons.com (http://www.truckaddons.com) off of eBay.

nice tj.
I like the smoked blinkers. and yeah a winch would be a good add on since you already hav the plate. Get a good snach block and you can winch the elk up and into a trailer and take him home whole.

1993 Ford F-150 4x4. Only have 80k on her! Been on many a hunting trip, and that's about all I use her for.

How are you all liking the gas prices driving those rigs around? No one loves a truck more than me, but with gas prices on the rise, I'm parking mine! I could go to Hawaii with the money i save. :drool:
-
I set aside some money out of every paycheck to fund the annual hunting trip. I am not going to let the price of fuel derail my hunting season! A plus is that the price of fuel is slowly coming down. I was paying almost $4.50 a gallon for diesel. I fueled up yesterday at $4.16 a gallon.
-
When it comes to hunting, I will not let GAS Prices take me out of the game! I do have plenty of hunting partners that would pitch in for gas as needed if we are going to carpool. Once the drawing results come out I will be making arrangements to get out in the field to do a lot more scouting. My wife wants me to take a rest on the trail cam that I have out. What she doesn't know is that we are going camping in the area this weekend and I will be checking the cam. Hope to post new pics next week.

Not sure yet :dunno:havn't got to drive it since the spring change. My old lift was a 3.5 and it was so stiff I absolutely dreaded potholes. This new lift is ALLOT softer. As far as wandering goes, im going to have to wait and see. Ive got a 70's 2wd f350 stearing box that mounts extremely low and Im running a tie rod over style stearing setup, so my stearing angle is really reasonable. Im pretty sure that the body roll is going to be allot more noticeable than before.
-
The biggest issue with lifting a Bronco or F150 is they use radius arms. If you do not use arms that correct for the change in castor angle, it is going to get squirrley on the road. James Duff makes some great arms that correct for the change in castor angle.

It does have a winch. It came with a Warn 8274 with a blown motor. I bought some seals for it and have it all torn apart right now. just need to put it back together and get a motor. i guess the 8274 is supposed to be a good winch too.

8274 is the best winch ever. That's why I own 2 of them.

Shop around, you can find 8274's for about $1200 still. Occasionally you can find them on Craigslist for about $500 and they are in good shape still. My 2nd one is from Craigslist. It had been used twice and had been sitting on the front of the vehicle for about 5 years. Still in perfect shape.

Stickenmaster i'm guessing that is a custom body mod for that pathfinder? Very cool by the way... I've seen a few jeep Cherokees and a 4 door S series blazer that had a mod like that.

Hey MDGrand,
Are you running a leveling kit on your truck? Also, how have those Duratracs worn? Getting good mileage out of them?

Took a full summer with the back window removed and pushed forward, building bumpers front and back, herculining the interior, and building lock boxes and more. Now air lockers, gears and a diamond axcel is the next project once the independent breaks.

That thing has 5 differentials! I encourage you to read the article, and try to figure out how to use them!
I am not saying every truck should have a 4' x 8' bed to carry sheetrock, but at $525K you would think a larger bed would be standard. Finally, the driver's seat (cockpit) is claustrophobic.

Just wondering.. how can a rig with 3 axles have 5 differentials?

Just from a physics standpoint. You can only have one differential per axle. The last time I checked 1X3=3 unless its that new common core math crap.
I think the wording is getting confused in the article due to it being written in England. What they may consider a "double differential" on the rear axles is commonly referred to as a feed though axle design (that is how you achieve dual axle drive in the rear.) The article does mention a lockable transfercase (something Jeep had available 50 years ago).
You can see in the picture the axles are a standard differential design with the addition of a feed though box on the front to feed the rear axle.

-
I haven't read the article, but I would guess, front, center and rear axles each lock. Then front to center axle and center to rear.
1,2,3,4, and 5??
-
An axle can only have one locker, that is in the differential...
What you are explaining is normally done in the transfercase.

Any suggestions for someone on a budget who wants a mix of good mpg and some off-road ability in a used truck? I was thinking either a 99-00 vintage 4x4 ranger or s10 with a canopy, but I am open to suggestions.
Thanks,
Rick

Correct, You also lock the x-case in addition to the axles.

I would think that a great budget hunting rig would be a 91-96 Jeep Cherokee. They can be had reasonably cheep, there are MANY budge modifications that can be done, and there are TONS of aftermarket accessories available. With a modest 2" lift (cheep) and some fender trimming you can fit some decent sized tires for hunting and have a very capable rig. I know a couple of guys that regularly get 20mpg in their Cherokees for commuting purposes, With stock OD tires... You can always fold down the rear seat or ad a roof basket if you think you need more room for your stuff.

what do you consider good mileage? My 95 mazda (basically a ranger) gets maybe on a good day 20mpg thats no wind perfect driving at speeds of no more than 65 and its gutless. It works for me because I dont do any serious wheeling or much major driving but for the mileage most days I wish I had another V8 my old suburban got 18 on road trips easy....and it went when I stomped on it.
-
Well here's my lady. Haven't gotten her insides too bloody but not for lack of effort. Last of the good ole 5.9 Cummins.

Thanks for the suggestions. I was thinking around 20 mpg to be good for a rig that has decent 4x4 capability.
