I got my body lift done by myself. It sucked but its done. I also got my 08 fx4 seats. I have pics of the seats but it got to dark for the lift pictures. All I have to do is make rear gap guards and lift my bumpers and that's it.

The seats:

 

Before and afters tomorrow

 

looks like the arm rests on your door panels are sagging the same way mine were haha

 

I don't know man both sides are like that. Theve been like that since I bought the truck.

 

yeah same here i just swapped to black upper and lower....lucky jy find ill try to find another set

and damn you for making a teaser thread lol

 

Nice. Ya man it sucks doing a body lift by yourself. But I didn't want to wait till the central texas meet so I guess I paid a little price.

 

Never done a BL myself, but 12.5 hours seems like a pretty quick amount of time especially for only one guy.

Truck i'm sure looks good. Get pics up ASAP.

 

That's about right for one guy of you were doing it for your first time. Took me and a buddy 6 hours to do mine

 

probably 99% of rangers are like that. I corrected mine when i wrapped them in vinyl. can't wait to see BL pics.

 

Man, get pics soon!

 

we need effing pics now! looks like the seats need a good cleaning! A Bissel Green Machine and some simple Green and the solution that comes with the Green Machine does great at keeping the seats clean. If you don't want to fork out the $70 for the Bissel, go to Advance and get a can of OXY upholstery cleaner with the brush on the can.

spray the seats good, let it soak, then brush them, then spray again and and agitate. Then let dry. When i cant use the Bissel, I do this and it works pretty good! you will learn to hate the fabric on those seats man! the gray gets dirty and heaven forbit if you get a water drop on them because they show it if they are anything dirty.

 

Ya I know the seats are in dire need of a cleaning. I about died thismorning driving to work knowing there dirty. I paid 100 bucks for them so im not complaining. Theyre more comfortable than my old ones. Ill have to get pics after work. I have to find time to lift the bumpers.

 

yeah i paid 135 for both by 04 seats from an edge. 100 is a good price.


Since you are going to need to buy new tires again. you think you can ship up your 33 KOs up to me? I need them. Bad.

Oh and don't forget you are gonna need to get an 8.8 and have it regeared to 4.88s and put on discs. Otherwise you won't be able to run bigger tires.

 

i love my seats, just hate the material...lol

 

Lol I would man but I just got these like a month and a half ago. Im gonna wear them out till I need new ones. Plus the price you'd pay in shipping alone, you might as well go to a discount tire and get some. Im getting a full disc 8.8 next month so ill be good there

 

I want to see what im going to steal from you this weekend

 

You giving me that valance and stuff?

 

I'm assuming you are getting the 8.8 from an Expo?

You gotta watch the gears on those. They very rarely came with 4.10s, mostly 3.55s and 3.73s.

Plus, depending on the mileage you will need to rebuild the Trac-Lok. The clutches get worn out every 100k or so.

Or you could jut it and install a locker and get it regeared.

Once you get over 33s in tire size you really have to start considering other stuff like axles, tranny, and engine power.

 

Oh I know man. Im not going any bigger than 35s

 

So where are the after pics!?! I kept an eye out for your truck while I was in Houston... lol I didn't expect to see it though. There is **** all down there for Rangers!

 

I just got the valence. Ill give you that at the meet. Cuz I just got word from the body guy that my truck is most likely totaled. Its just up to the insurance now. Either pay for the work, or pay me

 

Heck ya man. The 19th im driving to klc to get his 8.8 from him. 12 hour drive ftl

Oh and adam I know. All the rangers around here minus the forum members are trash. That and no one cares about a modded ranger

 

That should fine then. As long as it has 4.10s. Most likely it won't. 3.73s are what most of them run. 33s on 3.73s are bad enough. 35s on 3.73s are a drive-train killer.

Hate to be the voice of pessimism. That's the facts though.

 

Picks uv the trukkk after wurk

 

Klc's 8.8 is an ls 4.10
