Going diesel this winter hoping to finish the bodywork soon

 

Figured it fits for my truck and haven't seen any American built rangers with one so why not.

 

I like it!

 

Whoa. Where did you get that?

EDIT: Found it. That's pretty sweet.

 

Pics of my pavement princess

 

Found them in pics of T6 rangers in Australia and thought why not. It's the direction I'm going anyway. Found them on ebay

 

It might just be the picture, but are your bedsides pulled?

 

Yep pulled the bed a few months back to match the front a little better. Still need to cut it out and add new flares buts it's getting there

 

Lookin good Mike, love the wheels.


Snapped a couple of mine today before I put it back in the garage. Drove it everyday for the past 8 days!

 

Is your neighbor jealous of your Ranger?

 

That white Ranger is one of their kid's friends, but my guess is, yes most likely.

 

Thanks I have been very happy with the methods although I am hunting for the right deal on a set of 17" beadlocks.

Great to see you driving the ranger, more miles on it in the last 8 days then in the last few years I bet! You happy with the coilover results? From your thread seems like it and some fine tuning solved a lot of your issues.

 

Are they 17s now? I kinda wish I woulda gone with 17s way back when. It's really good looking size on Rangers IMO.

edit: 16s according to your sig. 17's would look great on there.

Definitely. It drives lightyears better than it did before. Before I wouldn't trust anyone but myself to drive it because it was just a complete unpredictable handful. I'd let someone else drive it now without any worries. The coilovers ride better too, it actually feels normal lol.

 

yep 16s now been happy with them, plan is to do 17a with 35x12.5R17 MTRs as they make that size in a load range c so I can save some weight on the tires. plus its getting to be time for bead locks. I was a little concerned wheeling a 4psi in snow this winter it worked but could have been bad.


thats fantastic! I felt the same way the first time I went for a drive with my DBR kit. everything worked and the truck just drove well. its been so nice to be confident in its road manners again, the super lift wasn't bad at all but the new suspension just blows it out of the water.

 

dont get on RF much lol.
plans are a 4.0 swap, valving the rear end properly and dialing that in, possibly a cage and if i dont get to that, ill have a hoop around the back of the cab. want to keep the bed but with as much movement as it has, i might just do a full bedcage back there and hang bedsides. wanna keep smog legal and DD-able.

 

 

Where did you get that?

 

Found it on eBay after I saw them on some T6 rangers in pictures so I searched around. Pretty unique and figured it would be pretty cool to throw on my new tailgate when I can do a bed swap.

 

PIMP!

 

 

 

Just waiting on the shop to stop ******* me around to get my truck back....

 

Browsing the classifieds for something completely unrelated I came across this



96 2.3 5 speed 4x4 4.10s manual t case manual hubs. Needs a clutch slave cylinder and a good cleaning. Gonna use this while I rebuild the 5.0 ranger. Once the 5.0 is done idk what to do with this. 5.0 and a SAS maybe. Seems like a good candidate. Oh and it only cost me 600 bucks

 

finally I have something to put up on here

 

Did you have that paint job done or did you buy it that way
