DangerRanger01: Project "Little Black Edge"
So, Shane has convinced me to finally make a project log. i'll just post some stuff in here about what all i am doing to my truck. I'll start with the begining.
Here is the truck like i bought it from my dad:
Much too high for me. So I decided I should lower it. DJM 4/5 FTW.
Shane and I started it at 7pm when i got home from work, and burned the midnight oil:
And its lowered!!!
Scored some Cobra wheels off craigslist:
Just some nice pictures of mine and my brother's trucks:
Got dogged too much for the Waag bar, so i took it off and threw it away! If no one liked it, no one was going to get it:
Put in some Edge seats...so comfy
And a sub! 10in Thunderform is enough for me:
Scored a Mazda gauge cluster off a member here....still need to put in:
And Shane scored some better door panels still need to put in:
Nice picture of the truck when i started school this year:
Finally found a good hood black already. So i threw that on:
Put on some PowerStop breaks and upgraded pads. Very nice mod!
I bought my brothers old 8.8 rear end to upgrade mine. I though while I'm at it, might as well put disc brakes on it. Did the 12inch vented cobra disc brake mod. Going to add a traction lok and paint it up once summer time comes:
Mmmm, i'm sure there is more stuff. I am also sure Shane has more pictures, lol. I KNOW more stuff will get done this summer when i can actually wrench on it....dam college consumes my life. I've just got to find a black edge bumper...or get the bumper i've already bought painted...the search continues!

Update:
Primer-ed up my axle for kicks. It's going to go to my gear guy to get a traction lok installed...once i order it:
Then i went to the junkyard and scored a BII rear sway bar. Actually, i got TWO bars....so I'll put one up for sale:
And while at the junkyard, i got another tailgate for the stepside. I figure I'll shave this one complete; handle and emblems. Just in-case i want to go that route. It is in pretty nice shape, only a little dent above the handle:
And the stepside bed as she sits until i can get working on it:
And the truck as she sits today:

Grant...correction....pics posted under 'what it looked like when I bought it from my dad' are incorrect...you bought with those ugly corners I bought for it, no waag bar, those ugly flag mirrors, and no toolbox. NOOB! Get it right!
