@ethanmorehead8386 it is a 4 year old gaming laptop I bought from Costco. Running the table itself doesn't take much of a computer. Using Fusion 360 and my 3d scanner are what max out the computer. My plasm software would probably work on about any new laptop that is currently sold.
@charliesosa5299 it can but the front driveshaft will be different. You will also need to make sure you get the correct shifter linkage to match the transmission and t case.
You will need to convert the transmission to 4wd or swap it out. A 1354 case. Then if you want to use all the factory front suspension you also need to swap the motor crossmember.
Still making these? I see theyre still on your site but i read somewhere you stopped making them? Looking to finally start my ranger project i planned before C19
glad to see it done! far cry from when i last saw it. and not sure if i just missed it (i was watching over lunch break this afternoon) but i didn't hear anything about the coke storage.
What issue would there be to adapt? If you're thinking front driveshaft go talk to a driveshaft shop to build one with the older transfer case side and front to match the 98.
@@ponyboi.gamer36 I was thinking the hard parts in the transfer case itself. I know the way the front driveshaft mounts to it is different -97 to 98-11
1354 to 1354 should be same internals minus the shift mechanism. The outter case on the manual shift is different too but bolting up the older one shouldn't be an issue as the A4ld and 4r or 5r auto trans all have the same output spline and bolt pattern. You would be better off just bolting the older 1354 to the newer trans
It pretty much dropped right in. You might have to use the 1354 shift fork as well. It was like 15 years ago when I did it, and I don't remember all the details. I know I used whatever parts I had between the two cases, and I didn't need any special machining to make it work. I also used the parts out of an electric shift 1354 to put into my manual 1350 case.
You can 3d print a secondary torch mount to eliminate some of the slop I would also line the ebay mount with neoprene to cushion the extra space.also I would look into an Anti corrosive additive for your water. Or a better one for it if you are using it. There still seems to be some rust on your slats. And even just having that (none on the pan or whatever) can cause issues down the road.
Eventually yes I plan to make a kit that fits a ranger with the stock bed on it. This specific bumper won't fit the stock bed. It was designed just for my truck.
Thing is sweet, getting ready to build my 96, currently has fac🌲 bed with an are fiberglass tannue cover with lids, but really debating a flatbed, yours looks great
Yes, hopefully in a few months. I am still working on getting all the settings and dimensions on them just right. Each diameter of tube and each radius requires tuning to get them to work just right. With my protools 6 inch radius 1.75 diameter I have it set pretty well. When I tried the same settings with a latger radius it didn't work as well. With all the different benders and radius that are out there, it can take some time to dial it all in.
I think the infill was around 65 percent with 8 walls. I played with the amounts until I was able to print them all out of one spool of material. It took 980 ish grams to print all of them. I had about 7 wraps of filament left of the spool when it finished. No magnets. Just round rod from Home Depot. The way I printed them, the rod are a snug fit. I will probably put some glue or epoxy on them to make sure they don't fall out. If I were to print them again, I might make the notch for the rod a few thousandths smaller for a tighter fit.
I used 5 to 1 planetary gear boxes and 900 oz Nema 34 motors. I need either bigger motors or a lighter gantry. The 3x6 extrusion is 7plus pounds a foot. On thinner materials like 14 ga and less I have to have the ramping so slow that I am having issues. I am going to try swapped to 2x4 extrusion. Should cut around 60 pounds off the weight and hopefully help with thin material cutting.
