finished up most of the front bumper and Its ready to hit the street. I'll throw some new black paint on the front and rear fenders tomorrow.

 

man this thing is lookin sweet!!!!

 

glad ur making steady progress again man

 

truk lewks gud.

keep up the good work, love that bumper.

 

Got the plates on it and a few finishing touches and drove it out on the street for the first time. Went to dinner with my GF and then over to a buddys place. Didnt see any cops but I got a bunch of funny looks from other drivers. I have a feeling the first cop I see is going to pull me over regardless of any wrongdoings, Just cause of how it looks.. I'll have some fresh pics tomorrow as I'm driving it to work in the morning.

 

Thanks. That is one hell of a bedcage!

 

thanks, yeah its not too crazy, but didnt turn out bad for my first one. And not having really anything local to go off of etc.

 

looks great Andy! glad to see it out on the road again!!

 

leave early to compensate for a road stop.....

the top of the bumper looks good. not many put those curves in to compensate for the gap.

 

thanks man, yeah its fun driving it again, let alone out on the streets in public. pretty cool
yeah no kidding. Yeah I still may add a lower bar that follows it and tips into it at the ends. just to make it more "bumperish" and may keep johnny law off my back with the look of more metal on the front.

my GF actually suggested it, and even made a paint chop of what she was thinking haha

 

not a bad idea. maybe even like 4-6 inches with sheet metal kinda like the skidplate. that way you could do cutouts and mount foglights and claim it's a bumper.

 

just print out minnesota's laws that would be in question and put them in your truck, if you get pulled over and he asks about anything, just pull them out and show him you know its legal.

 

drove it to work today. I really need to start saving for a detroit.. the lincoln lock is driving me up a wall, And it draws un-needed attention hah. Still needs shock work and some coilover adjusting up front,need my spanners to come in. Also needs an alignment, it tracks great but the steering wheel isnt straight and the camber is off. I'll be painting the fenders/bedsides this weekend.

 

Looks like a bull about to charge! Well done!

 

wow get that sucker aligned! haha

looks great andy. i think you made a good choice doing this and not a SAS. Looks awesome.

 

x2

 

yeah i know right lol, I wonder if I could take it somewhere or if they'll tell me to get bent. I mean I could get pretty close myself, I just dont feel like it at the moment. I just hope I can get multi-use out of it offroad. And yeah its been a fun project, SAS would have been badass too though. I'll just have to ride in yours for my kicks, and then give you a ride in mine hah
thanks!

 

Nice spinners on a LT! Can't wait to see that!

 

nice ***!

 

Looks great!! I know if I went LT I would be getting in trouble or rolling the truck and I got going plenty fast stock and still do down dirt roads set-up the way I am now. Heck I hit 70mph with 12psi in my tires 2 weeks ago! I held it for 1/2 a mile! Painted fenders will make it look great! Plus those wheels are badass!!!

 

Thanks man, I'd love to have your truck too. I need two rangers hah

 

looks great

 

closer shot of the front!

 

in the pics thread I think I have a closer one. this close enough? or you need closer lol

 

painted the bedsides and moved the front plate. Just a simple spray bomb job for now. Got alot of looks today lol
