Wow that could've been bad. I seriously considered welding spacers inside my hoop tabs to narrow the gap to 1.25" to fit the King's but instead went with the King 1.5" adapters. Maybe I should've welded them after all.

 

The bolt snaped where the threds start, the grade 9 bolts are a bit longer
And the threds dont start in the middle of the bolt
So the shock is not riding on the threds

The whole weight of the front end of the truck is on those bolts and
Most of the time they snap at the threds so the shock not riding on the
Threded part of these bolts will help avoid the snaping

 

 

All better now



by the way ryan the shock tabs were fine

 

O yeah I also got a pair of bump stops and cans, radflos they are the best kimd i think
Because they are the only brand that has a lip on there bumpstops so that they cant
Get jamed threw the can. I held them today but i have to pay them off
befor i can just take them ...apparently thats how it works...lol

 

I finally got a shop I can work in and some time/money to get a few things I wanted done on the ranger

some crappy cell phone pics in the dark.. but I will get some better ones soon, I'm not done with every thing yet



I finally got the winch mounted/wired, the holes are threw half inch of steel



And I'm glad to have a new set of these, I had forgot how much chunk was on them

 

Man those Pitbulls have some massive lugs! Can't wait to see the rest of the progress.

 

Lookin good!

 

That's better

 

Awesome. Bet it's good to have those rockers back.

 

something I got for the truck several months back
kinda makes it look like a bronco I think

 

 

went for a little ride today and took some better pics of the truck





my driver was being crazy













rock sliders are working swell

 

Truck looks amazing!

 

yeah badass man!

 

Looks great Koyn.

 

thanks every body

failed to mention it but I also put some jd traction bars on along with ruffstuff u-bolts and plates... like always the ruffstuff stuff was super beefy when compared to stock



still have a few things I need to get done, I need to weld on bump stop cans, weld on front truss

I want to redo my rear shocks and a new rear bumper will hopefully be in the works soon

I will try and get progress pics when I do

 

Sweet.

 

Looks great out in the rocks. How much bedliner did it take to do the whole truck?

 

about 2.5 gallons

 

Good to see rockers on it again. Same size 37 radials? Looks sick all blacked out
