The subframes are from an m151 mutt. Old jeeps with independent suspension at all 4 corners. The jeeps were deemed unsafe for road use and all but a handful were cut in half. There are old surplus places that sell parts. There is an option for a mechanical locker.

@@Turkrypty M151 have the same diff front and rear. So the have pinions and yokes on both sides. So this is front end of 3 M151's. The issue is the power to the rear axle is going though the pinion and ring gear of the center.

The Mutts were in use when I was in the Army in the mid to late 70s. The guys in the motor pool disliked M-151 because they were a pain to service, they were a far cry from the Kaiser built Jeeps that had been in service for ages.

You are absolutely correct about the M151 steer axles being used in the rear of the Ranger. I have a complete M151A2 and enough spare axle pairs to build 8 more. I also own 4, 800 series 5 Ton 6X6 trucks and have plans to build a tube chassis 6X6 Mutt.

I think if they go that far they're better off building their own 6X6, I don't think this thing is worth upgrading that much.

I painted the mismatched hood for the "Old Man" who orginally built it in Soldotna Wonderful man, genuinely passionate of all things, especially those with motors and hearts! Hunter, fisher, outdoorsman and builder of all things cool. God bless his soul! He cared for many o' folks in his time on this earth, myself included. Having driven that 6x6 personally, the rear steer was a trip! I can still here him say "lets sit down and think about this for a minute ", as he pondered his next move over a hot cup of coffee and a jar of bartered pickled salmon! Many of wise men built that machine! God bless and enjoy! I guarantee hes smiling down seeing it pound ground and hit the woods.

that's an M151 MUTT differential. It's those little military Jeeps. I think they have a passthrough shaft so you could ad a driveline to your trailers when towing stuff off-road. I dont think anyone makes lockers for them since they're like 100 years old now. But dont feel bad about welding it, you can still find them on ebay if you blow it to pieces.
@brianb-p6586
@brianb-p6586 2 года назад
I initially thought that it might be for a powered trailer, too, but it looks like they didn't have one. The extra input flange to the pinion shaft appears to be so that it can be turned to a high-pinion position for the front.

Tank tracks, yes you wouldn’t be able to rear steer, but a little tire deflation and they are off. Also double check the gearing for the ford front and military rear diff if they aren’t the same that could be the reason for different tire sizes

These are light-duty, from the M151 MUTT... but yes, same front and rear in the M151.

@@brianb-p6586 oh yeah, I know these aren’t hd, i was basing my info on my fire departments 5 ton, I believe even original hummers had a lot of shared components front and rear for the same reason

Would love to see you guys do something with that front bumper! Lord knows how many lightbars and winches you would need to use up all that space though 😂

I think they should keep the bumper, but maybe add to it or modify it slightly, to stay true to the original builders vision

dualies and lockers, a turbo charged LS swap , big alternator, big cooling, more better suspension maybe (although it does look like it works now) and some custom exhaust stacks

So when can we expect to see long travel suspension and a motor swap? I don't think it's quite Grind Hardy enough lol
@Shadow0fd3ath24
@Shadow0fd3ath24 2 года назад
doing a self centering valve system the same as a monster truck would make it much better...also those m151 mutt diffs have a mechnical locker option so im sure some can be found

I think they're out of an M151 Mutt Jeep. Apparently some people have modded Suzuki lockers for them, but there don't seem to be any off the shelf parts.

Put some 38” arctic trucks tires on it and it will float over the snow like nothing else or go even bigger with the Nokian Hakkapeliitta AT44!!

Really curious to know how they split power to both rear axles. Edit: Just watch the video longer :)

That front bumper is way to cool for that truck. Definitely needs to go first. 👌

Definitely needs some kind of locks so all 6 wheels will actually spin instead of just 1.
