okay.. so .. fuck the automatic transmission, I hate them.

I'm taking it to my buddies' shop tomorrow to try some different band adjustments and install a pressure booster to see what this damn valve body likes. If we can't get it to work, or my engine kills this one too, I'm going to need you guys to be on the look out for an '88 - '97 4x4 5-Speed Ranger/Bronco II/Explorer

Thats what I'm currently looking for also, trying to find a donor vehicle with everything I need for the 5 speed swap. If I run across anything I'll let you know.

I'm starting at 30psi front and rear and going to watch the scuff pattern on the lugs for a bit and see if I need to increase or decrease the psi and adjust accordingly. I did this with the dirt grips and those had about 65-70k on them. I ended up at 30psi front and 25psi rear with the dirt grips. I'll be keeping a close eye on them and adjust when needed. The fronts seem good at at 30psi..but I'm expecting to have to lower the rear a few psi.

Because you are in a much heavier vehicle, I'm sure you know where to get the PSI at. I have to run a much lower PSI when I had my boggers so I wouldn't wear out the middle from over inflation.

With the MTR's I run them at 17psi now. But I'm on a 15x8 wheel with a 12.50 wide tire so I need even less psi then if I was running a 15x10.

I miss my boggers for hill climbs and sloppy mud. The MTR's actually hold their own though in slippery mud, just not as good on hill climbs.

Banners still there, turd.

YOU read it and clicky'ed the X button, because you're literate.. unlike a growing portion of driven's members. Delete your cache/cookies from your innerwebs browser, it'll come back if you so miss it.

p.s. how the hell do you keep rebounding from the red medals so fast??
p.p.s.s. why is JD going to pick up another Explorer tonight?
