sorry guys i was on vacation until now but im back first off I hate being called a liar more than anything so that pissed me off, second I was drunk so that just added to it (even though I probably would have said the same exact thing if I were sober) third I have gone "muddin" plenty of times its not just sand in so cal we have dirt and mud too, fourth .... 3.slow? hahaha try 5.0 check out my pics there is no part of that ranger that is slow, fifth even if you dont plan on jumping it or useing the lift for what its made for its always nice to know you can without it breaking on you and I understand that any part can fail but when its the same part over and over again and you find out its cause they went cheap and married up a chevy part to a ford spindle it gets you wondering what else they went cheap on, and last i though I would share my personal experience
Anyone can mud a truck, even a stock truck. Im talking 3/4's of an inch between tree and body panels, while climbing up a hill with twisters in the mud. Articulating between trees, roots, and ruts takes a skilled driver and a good suspension lift. A lift made for wheeling a truck like this isnt made for jumping it at high speeds. so of course parts will break. ever use a reg socket on an impact driver? sure it will work, but have fun stripping out your sockets.
I can wheel my rig all day (somewhat conservatively) without breaking anything, but the first time i jump it 3 feet in the air, i promise you something will fall off. Bottom line man, dont **** on other peoples equipment just because it isnt built for your toys and the way you play with them. In my opinion the only thing that would wheel better then what i have right now is a SAS. and lockers.
