Wait what? Did you sell the truck and buy it back or something.

 

He traded it for a Nova, then bought the Ranger back from him later

 

we need progress on this bro! i wanna see this truck rip!

 

yeah I know, I just need to find the damn time. been super busy..i see it everyday and i'm like **** I gotta work on that. Plus its been waay too damn hot lately to work on it

 

No excuses Minnesoooootttaaa.
You've got dunes to be at in a year.

 

haha I know..that was a great phone convo I had with all you guys, made me miss it bad. But I will for sure be back for next springs trip.

right now I have to take down the whole front end and get the shocks and bumps cleaned and coils re-painted as well as the upper and lower CA's. After that I need to buy/borrow/rent a Media blaster and go crazy on the whole frame and tube on the truck. after taking the boddy off etc.

 

At least your doing it right.
I'd hate to see you get the truck back and spend all kinds of cash and still have problems.

 

"soa, has rann-gerr Rick come by yet and uh talked about the noise?" "you should set somme beer traps and catch um"

 

"What is your wife doing? Put her on the phone! (background noises) Nooooooooooooo"

 

lol...classic

 

Wait a ****** -- you got the ranger back? Niiceee

 

This thin is going to be even more badass then it already was!

 

Yesir! :)
hopefully, I have many plans/ideas to carry out. progress has obviously been slow as I haven't posted much. But I I am geting the bug to work on it again as I went out to move it the other day and made me really want to start getting it back in shape. I need to get it in a good spot in a garage hopefully mine if we can finish our extra stall soon. and then I have to tear everything off the frame, cab etc. so i can blast everything and get it back to bare metal. shocks need some tlc, as the coils are rustyish and the bodys have some corrosion. The a-arms and CA's need a blasting and some paint along with everything else. I think I'm going to plasti-dip the whole truck when i'm done. probably a super out there color like their blue and do the tube white. or whole white truck with neon blue tube, or neon orange. just something really different and fresh. cause its basically just a toy It can be off the wall in color

Now I need to go buy a nice big air compressor and find a media blaster to rent or buy

 

Neon color would be cool, I vote orange.

 

I vote grabber blue!

 

yeah I've been wanting it to be a nice flashy blue for awhile now

 

Sonic Blue or whatever it is. I went with Bright Island Blue on my 2wd I built. Looks great in the sun

 

Little update, Got it parked in a buddy's garage and started the tear down-build up. Got all the front suspension off to get cleaned up and serviced and started to get the back end cleaned up.

 

take the motor out next and send it up here haha. looks good so far, can't wait to see it again!

 

Awesome!

Could i please get a few pics of the passenger side cv? Would love to get a length of the adapter and some pics to send out to a machine shop

 

YES! I want a ride in this truck at silverlake man!

those deavers? Can i ask what valving your running in them, how you like it and what brand shock?

 

Do work! I wish my garage was that empty right now. ha

 

yeah race pack deavers,swayaway 2.5x16 shocks with stock valving that i flip flopped. i believe they are .008 rebound and .010 compression,but were opposite before. and i removed the bleed screws from inside.
yeah I'll try and get some pics and measurements next time i go over there.

 

thank ya bro! gonna order my f31's shortly so i can rip in the sand.

 

so if your running the Deaver race pack is that the heavier G50 pack? I thought I remember your truck running Giant 64in springs.

I am debating between the G50 and the F31 Deaver rear springs leaning toward the race pack due to the heavy tool box full of gear and the full size spare. any advice?
