well, im going to say its just about done.

until i get 4x4 components.


i made the antenna a little shorter today, its 2ft long now, i might cut a little more off to make it level with the roof but it might look to short then.

the radio reception is the same, i only cut 7" off.

now i need to get the ball of the end and put it back on the antenna, then it will look stock.

thanks!

it will start looking a little better soon, i have to get fenders, hood, header panel and a grill.

i would also like to get a bed off a newer ranger because mine is rotting, its off a 94 if i remember correctly.

if i can find a summer time job i would like to get a cowl hood and maybe some prerunner fenders, pref some with the smallest amount of rise but a little bit of width.

good news!

i might not have to put high steer on my axle right away.

he said he is running the stock leafs, mine have more of an arch because they are 4" lift leafs.. soo i should be good...

a longer drop pitman arm and spring perches will be in the works soon.

Impressive work!! i really love it!
i wonder if this truck/member is still around?

Im planning to do a Leaf sprung D30 SAS in the near future, and i would like to get some input from him and his dad.

My frame is different because of the A arm setup, but im willing to do all it takes to get this done.

It rides like a leaf sprung Jeep. Don't expect a smooth ride like coils.
