what is this "finish" thing???

 

Sliders. My buddy Jesse (the one with the blue Ranger with the cage on the back I'm always posting) is a metal fabricator and mechanical engineer so He has a design that works extremely well. He also has a kick *** bumper design I'll be putting on the truck.

Body work since I'll have the armor

Fix my window

new shocks and tires for the truck

get around to putting my Aussie Locker in the rear

 

im curious of this design. Ive never heard anyone having probalems with taditional sliders.

 

Thats on his truck, basically all is it is 2"x2"1/8" steel that he re-enforces so much that they hold upreally strong. Like I said, he's a mechanical engineer by degree so he has all the geometry down on them. I've seen them take some nasty hits on numerous trucks he has them on and they hold up nicely!



and this is the style bumper I'm having made

 

my home brews with little thought have no issues. its not rocket science.

also, nice truck, is there another gallery of it layin around somewhere? and where is he from?

 

Thornton and I have numerous pictures of his truck in my photobucket pages. Also, to see a few good shots of it and my buddy Larry's truck (as well as a few of mine) check out the Support Our Troops trail report on Co4x4.org

 

oh you were on that run? and are you on co4x4?

im on there all the time...

 

Yep, I'm the dark blue FX4 on the box canyon, was right next to the Rubi when he rolled, and all that stuff. I'm on Co4x4 from time to time, not as much as here or RMFTC

 

Hyjack over

 

we are bout to hit some massive OT so im gunna get rear shackles and possiblely a winch

 

My New plans are: Bama tuner, re do my lame open air filter with an aem brute force intake (silver) have a shop cut off the driver side of my Y pipe resonator & straight pipe the first cat, cause for some reason my tBar smacked the pipe leaving it creased...last for the motor is a set of under drive pulleys, The goal Is to average 17mpg or better city, since i just put on 32' bfg muds this may be tuff.
Along with the mpg game plane i would like infinity speakers and amp wring kit(for my new and uninstalled blaupunkt amp) also would like eagle alloy rims, with better brakes.
That's alot-a crap! probably do most of it tho unless things really change.

 

-new shocks
-tint
-wire up the OHC [have everything, just don't have time]
-black headlights

 

i REALLLYY like that bumper..

did he have that made or did he buy it from a company?

 

install: traction bars, underdrive pulley, custom exhaust (magnaflow muffler), complete overhaul of stereo system w/ custom sub box/amp rack, other misc. little things laying around my apartment. And hopefully tint the front windows, also fab up a skid plate and some simple sliders.

 

i plan on having my truck sit with a cover over it for the summer since ill be in LA.

saving money and keeping the mileage to nothing for the months of June-September (:

 

He built it.

 

Work on payin it off and install some fog lights as well as a new HU and speakers, Maybe a sub but that is prob pushing it,

 

-Pay it off by fall
-change trans fluid and filter
-OME lift
-245/75/16 firestone destination M/T
-Install my factory hitch
-In channel window vents
-new brakes

After that, I am done....

 

4/5 the truck
Paint the Truck

 

OK I need help!! I want bucket seats in my truck so bad! And i dont know what to do? Ive looked in salvage shops for like edge ver. rangers with buckets and ive looked online. i dont want no crappy racing seats, plus i dont know if they will fit the bolt line up on my 03 ranger.. does any1 have an idea of what in the heck i can do.... ? please some1

 

An exploder would be your best bet.

 

Since I'm moving to WA I'd like to have the 4x2 to 4x4 conversion completed.

 

main thing will be fixing some damage on the back, new rear bumper, and some serious rust repair. still need to permanently fix the passenger side door, and fix some rust on the a pillar.

 

4x4 conversion

 

I want to look into getting a front tow-hitch installed. That'll probably happen pretty quickly. Nothing too big - the truck is still new
