Im in Austin right now.. Matt said he'd take me to see your truck some day lol

 

sheittt

thats up to you to organize

 

If you two knuckleheads want to see it thats fine. I'll be welding more of the cage in tomorrow, and could use a couple hands.

 

rofl, I'm buying a rifle during lunch.. I get off at 5-6 if that's ok?

I've seen it as it is now, minus the bed liner.. I wanna see that motor in there!

 

By 5-6 I will be standing beside it drinking beer looking at my work. LOL

 

I'll come by and check out your work then

 

Finished the cage yesterday, except the frame cross bars, and the bars out the back window. Yes the primer is still wet. My welding is getting much better, for a guy who has done it 100% by myself. Turns out I actually enjoy it. LOL





Made a seat mount for it too. It will bolt to the floor, then the seats are connected to the roll cage

 

Drivers seat and flooring is in. Just set the belts in there.

 

Freaken sweet!

 

Yeah, next week Engine and tranny get dropped in, then the fun starts........WIRING!

DOH

 

I love wiring!!!

 

Looking good man. Wouldn't you want to take out the interior panels and headliner for weight reduction, or is that not a significant amount of weight?

 

its not the much weight that would be takein out... dang that truck is looking good

 

oo!!

what day?
i don't work monday or wednesday!

 

Not sure yet. I'll let you know.

 

No I want to keep it looking uuuummmm stockish. LOL, and besides it should have more than enough on tap to make up for the extra 50 or so pounds.

 

cool.
and yea, i think a stock 6.0 in that little ranger would have more than enough power.

 

well ill tell ya, just by those vent visors you had me fooled! I thought it was completely stock until i saw the twin shifters!!!

 

Damn it. I leave austin tomorrow so i wont get to see it :( GRRRR

 

SOme folks want overdrive, I want over transmission control. LOL I guess I need to get that extra one out of there soon. I catch a lot of hell for that.

 

Finally got it off the trailer and in my buddies shop where it will be till it drives out. :rockwoot::rockwoot::tree: Also the Optimas came in today, and I got the back window out.......in about 10 gazilion pieces.:bang:bang:kick:



Tomorrow the rear bars for the cage goes in, then pick up the motor later in the week to drop in. :rockwoot:

 

so yeah, we need to start organizing this meet! shes looking good.

 

Great Progress, can't wait to see final pics.

 

Why did you bust the back glass all up??? There are nuts that hold it in place.

 

Oh it was not planned, however if you happen to miss one nut, and start to remove it, it becomes a mosaic. LOL
