I'm not saying that what you'e running there is a bad thing at all, because I think it's cool as hell. That being said, I think with that body being on that frame, you might need to register it as a Ranger, which means you might have a problem with the rig being too heavy for it's GVW.

Where are you located. I have a divorced 205

cool project..is this just for a play toy or DD also?

 

[riotwarrior]

What front axle are you running?

Why do you want to swap internals for the ZF transmission? You may find it simpler to get a four wheel drive ZF and married tcase instead of messing with diivorced stuff..

Good luck

just as an idea, you could find another bed cut the amount you need to fill the gap, then extend your current bed and piece it together, have an 8ft bed on a ranger.. that would look pretty cool too...

Very neat! Not street legal around here, but if you can make it fly where you live, more power to you! I've actually hoped someone would just put the motor in a stock Ranger. My idea was to mount it in the bed, facing backwards, and use a transfer case to turn it around. That would be extra cool, and a very smooth ride.

5.72 first gear use a married 1356 and divorced np205 for a doubler

its street legal here in Michigan, i found nothing against it.

@ Ryan, the GVW ticker says what the maximum legal weight that rig can weigh, probably somewhere around 4,000-4,500lbs. If the rig weighs more than that, it is in no-way, shape or form 'street legal', and if the fuzz wanted to be a bunch of *****, which is a common thing, they coulf fine you for violating the GVW. I worked for a guy driving a straight grain truck, I got pulled over by a blue Jacket, got weighed and was 200lbs overweight, it cost him more than $600 fine.

 

[Ryanohn]

well ****, this guna be a problem

I'm not sure exactly what your GVW rating is, but there will likely be a sticker on the b-pillar by the striker on the driver's side door that will say something like 1220lbs front at 35 psi and 1810 rear on 215/70R15 tires 35 psi. That would mean that in my example, the GVW would likely be like 2900lbs.

@ Ryan Though if you don't mind it not being street legal, you'd have one HELLUVA bad-ass trail rig.

Find a supercab and that would fill in the gap!!! Eason
