[rino351]

Welcome!

[smoothengagement]

thank you.. uhm... whats ttb?

[rino351]

your axle is a ttb (twin traction beam). they're not the greatest to say the least. :)
they came stock on explorers, rangers, broncos etc. from 1980 or somethinng like that all the way through I think 96 on the rangers

[smoothengagement]

ok cool.. what kind of problems does it present?

[rino351]

Bearings are typically the first to fail, also, seals don't last extremely long on these.

[mattadams]

nice ranger :). You should come to our Christmas party, meet up with the group!
I'm anal about my truck, but different strokes for different folks LOL.

[smoothengagement]

I agree with you there. I actually get a fair amount of flex with mine too. The ttb isn't that bad. Plus, your bronco is sick all around! It's nice.

[mattadams]

smooth, you don't have to eat there. You can just show up and hang out.

[smoothengagement]

ok then i will do my best to be there.. id really like to be a part of the club..

[Glass]

Yea, that would be my truck at DADC, we'll have to try and hook up sometime at school. My class got moved, so I'm parked down on the North side of the building now if you want to try and find me sometime. I usually get there around 5:15-5:20. Oh, Welcome to the club!!

--John

[mattadams]

I still have a hard time remembering how to spell Niels, so I can sympathize! LOL.

[Walking Eagle]

I still have a hard time remembering how to spell Niels, so I can sympathize! LOL.

Me too, for the life of me, I can never remember if it's "ei" or "ie". From now on Niels, your new name will be "Mr. Anderson".

[y33dave]

[clavos]

If I can 3 wheel in my SD, I would think any truck can. LOL...

[tony1307]

I've 3 wheeled.. I've two wheeled... I've no wheeled. that was fun. Rangers land surprisingly smooth

[smoothengagement]

dont think ill be no wheeling anytime soon.. but that sounds fun!!

[cory]

sounds like we are going to have a lot of fun this summer. for some reason i cant find any pics of flexing but lets see if i can get closer to rolling without doing it

[UrbanCowboy]

I have 1-wheeled. For quite some time actually. My Powertrax No Slip differential was broken. I knew something was wrong but I didn't know the extent. One day, I finally opened the pumpkin and discovered no power could go to the rear passenger wheel even when going straight. This was probably the case for many months, although I imagine it engaged a time or two here and there
