gumby's mountianeer build-up
it is home!
along the way home sunday, i stopped and had a lil RBV meet at scottG's house
here is a shot of it next to my ranger from this afternoon
now to start moddin, we must first de-mod the ranger and make some $$$
tires are dismounted so i can have the rims blasted and powder coated. all the mods i have done to it are being removed and are for sale . the truck is already sold(stock) to a friend of the family(in-laws).
grabbed one of these at a junkyard(thanks cougarSE)
the spring code on my mounty is BF, so while i lower it i will swap in my set of #1 bars. the B bars will end up on the ranger. while i remove the RCD from the ranger, it will also donate its 4.10's to the mounty. the ranger will get the mounty's 3.73's and stock wheels/tires.
rough plans have been layed out as follows:
suspension/brakes:
#1 ranger torsion bars
2"ish drop
explorer express rear sway bar
bilstien shocks
12" front rotor upgrade
17" wheels with 275/55/17 tires
interior:
overhead console
full length console
sport trac gauges
drivetrain:
4.10's
manual tranny conversion
torquemonster headers
undecided CAI
undecided catback
plenum spacer
lots of work to go! stay tuned.

here ya go
its the best i could do with low quality pictures, also I couldn't find the right bumper to use, so I left it stock
most likely its too 'slammed' I used skew instead of just lowering it down on the wheels, that way the rear wouldnt be tucking like when i did your tc's shop
oh, and luckily the rims were dirty, so i didnt have to make them darker for you..hehe
