So I called Glassworks to find out what is going on, they called shipping carrier and said that they have been trying to get hold of me to deliver them. Well my contact number was inputed wrong on the shipping manifest and they never attempted to deliver the fenders. I was told that glassworks is going to find out information about how i get my fenders if it is to pick them up or have them deliver them. Gawd this is so much bull$hit i have to go throught because people mess up, now i can't get ahold of glassworks again! I'm being patient as I can with this process it just sucks!

 

you should move to huntington beach for local pick up of glassworks products. this is the 1st time ive heard of glassworks poor customer service. i know they have a trophy truck in the shop right now and another class 1450 in there too. sorry about you waiting so long

 

Well got a message from glassworks and called them back, and they said that the fenders when to SAC because the label came off or the driver thought that everything was going to SAC. I have nothing against Glassworks and just have been frustrated because I don't know whats going on. I hope to get them today or tommorrow at the latest. But now I know where there at and whats going on.

 

While waiting for my fenders and being bored I decided to make use for my amber corners. Had some extra black rust-o-leum semi flat black paint and took apart the corners. I think it turned out pretty good. I'm def going to do this to my 06 corners when I get my truck back.

 

They don't look so bad doing that mod on amber corners

 

Thanks man, I'm def going to do my headlights after I get my truck back. I think I might do a Satin gloss black or something I don't know yet. Anyways I'm still waiting for my fenders. Was told there where in SAC, so maybe friday I will get something.

 

Well got the fenders in Finally and they look pretty good, nothing wrong with them. I'm going to take pics of the truck when I take these fenders up Monday to the body shop.

 

nice... gona look great

 

bout time! you must be happy haha. they look good, gonna get them painted right away i take it?

 

yeah once i take them up there on monday there going to get mounted preped and then painted with the rest of the front end. Then on the 13th I'm going to meet up with S10killer in Bakersfield,CA to pick up his tube bumper and HELLA lights.

 

make your own bumper to fit the glass correctly, and you can make your own design of it

 

How do you think it should be? I don't know how to weld yet and don't have a welder. One of my friends knows how to weld but dosn't have alot of time because he works lots of hours.

 

oh and heads up before you put the fenders on, cut the front part off, the 5 inch by 3 inch little tab that hangs down...it looks hideous on there if your getting a tube bumper. icut mine off a day ago and it looks way better!

see what i mean???

 

haha ok ill do it when I get my truck back from the paint or something. How do you like the DBR bumper?

 

it is awesome! makes the truck look more like a truck haha. and the 9" HID driving lights up front arent too bad either

 

the DBR bumper is a bit overpriced...
if you look at other rangers with prerunner bumpers you can get a idea on what kind you, i wouldnt buy a generic premade bumper, or someone elses bumper not designed for your truck with that glass... but thats what i think, im sure someone in your area is a garage fabber and does prerunner bumpers, or even a shop up there.

and about cutting the mount for the fiberglass, i cut mine, but i also added a mount to where it bends in, to keep it sturdy and not alot of vibrations

 

ok thanks for the info and suggestions. I'll see how it looks when it's done. I hope to get my truck back by the end of this week, hopefully everything goes to plan.

 

the way i saw it, that mounting point didnt need to be there, cause theres two spots behind the side marker bulbs.

 

Truck is coming home on Monday morning! Pics to come by then.

 

Got the truck back yesterday afternoon! Doing the black painted headlight mod now and putting in my DDM Hi/Lo HID kit will get a butload of pics tomorrow and make a new thread. Here's my teaser!

 

I hate you...

 

i missed this build completely, how don’t know; I already spend too much reading on this site and making lists of stuff to do to the ranger, once the lift is in.

FRXLT, your truck is looking really nice, not much else to say.

A couple of questions about the seats.
What is your height ?
How do you fit in the Ranger after the Ex/SportTrac Seats were installed ?
Any thoughts on how the install went ?

Thanks,

 

Well one piece of my engine mod puzzle came in today and waiting for 2 more boxes to come. Can any one guess?

 

sweet, but get more pics up!

 

I will once I get everything installed, will be a good time to show off the new pre-runner bumper!
