Summer Truck Plans?
 

Hey everyone, I was just curious to see what kind of plans everyone had for their truck since some a lot of times work picks up quite a bit in the summer. Plus a lot of younger truck owners get "full-time" summer job.

What are you plans to have done to your vehicle by the end of summer/ through out the summer?


MY plans are to hopefully have another fender (since the last deal I had didn't work out), shaved fenders, black hood, new tires, and interior upgrades such as Dynamat, speakers etc. I can't wait for my Matco tool bill to be paid off, I'm proud of myself since I haven't bought a tool in over 4 months. I got my bill up to like $1,600 and it's finally down to $350. Then it'll be more money for truck parts! :mischievo

My plan is to finish the bloody thing already...

i would like to get some new speakers... and a front axle :biggrin: but thats gonna be another year or so since the truck is once again my DD

Drive as little as possible so I can afford to eat!

Great plan! :hypnotize

Wheel the bloody heck out of it. Rebuild the full-width F-150 8.8 and get it in the rear. More armor underneath. Finish the custom steering pieces (trackbar and tierod -- did the draglink). Wheel the bloody heck out of it.

Oh, did I mention wheeling the bloody heck out of it? :dunce:

:stupid:

i can bearly afford to drive it. i seriously thought of trading it in and still is a possibility.

maybe when i graduate and i get a full time job i can afford to drive it more and possibly start paying toward the principle of my truck.

Body lift and 33s, fix the front-end. Thats what I should have done by the end of summer, I would love to have it double lifted though. All depends on how much money I can make.

I'm gonna let it sit in the driveway as much as possible, to keep my gas costs down and my mileage also way down. I want this Ranger to last a long, long time. So by not putting miles on it, just keeps it nice shape for the future years. I'll be surprised if I even put 4,000 miles on it over the next year.

pay the sucker off

finish my exhaust,fix body damage, wheels,tires,swap front and rear bumpers,cap, get my subs in and alarm wired up

Same here minus fix the front end. My money is going towards getting a new bike/paying my parents back what I owe them for the truck first (2400).

by the end of the summer i want to do a diesel superduty mod....we'll see how that goes

you want to put a diesel engine in your truck?


If so... have fun with that.

alot of $$$ to do that........ all new suspension and drivetrain.

I want to swap over to manual hubs, install power windows and locks, alarm, tint and headers. I doubt all that will happen though.

Oh yeah finishing my power locks install would be awesome too

Wheels and tires.

new wheels and tires will be on, color matched front and rear valence/bumper cap, tool box in the back, seat covers

i have a full width 8.8 out of a newer f-150, it needs to be overhauled.
the bearings are shot because the axle shaft seals were leaking, but over all the axle is still good.

i don't think it would be worth it for you to drive out here tho haha. :dunce:




as far as my plans go, the SAS is already done.

now i need to get all of the 4x4 components and then im fixing the body and painting it.

Lower 2/2 from stock, Weld Prostars, New Tires, Paint Front & Rear Bumper, Paint Handles, Retune, and drive it while the rest of yall sit at home!
minus those who go wheelin..

2.3 FTW!

no... I want a superduty :sly:

I will have 4 fiberoptic LED tail light bulbs (2 per each) in a few days, they are already installed , the epoxy is still drying. (Much brighter than stock)

I also Cut my 3rd brake light apart and mounted by hand 18 LEDs.

not too much...probably use all mod money to pay off the truck and the civic...and just finish up things i have around, OHC, HID Off Road lights, fix my CB, install PA speaker, might start saving up for a DBR kit...but that will take past summer...

i was debadging the silverado today..but i ran out of goo gone and got PO'ed.....

Im was thinking about getting all mod crazy like the ol ranger but I dont think Im gonna..

get the 4.6 and the explorer 8.8 in the 95, and hopefully drive it some.
