I was reading up on the 10.25 on a ranger forum. A guy is talking about extending his using two long side axles making it about 3"s wider. Also a 10.5 is 4" wider and I have seen a couple guys drill out the metric lug pattern and put a stud with a large knurl giving them 8 on 6.5. Also the 10.5 has good disk brakes and a working e-brake.


Hopefully you get some free time in the future to get this pig going again :)

I did the 10.5 convert to 8x6.5. Philo's seen the pics & I'm sure knows what's involved. It's not hard at all - aside from finding a decent stud to use. I ended up using bolts.
