KLC's 2008 Ranger Build
KLC's 2008 Ranger Build
Alot has changed with my Ranger since the last uploaded pictures so I thought a project log was in order.
Here's a breakdown of what has/will been done:
4" Superlift
Coilover Conversion Hardware w/ Support Bars
Fox Coilovers w/ Hypercoils (Front)
6" Softride Skyjacker Leaf Springs
Fox Reservoir Shocks (Rear)
16" Buckshots w/ 33" Mickey Thompson MTZ's
Yukon 4.56's
Aussie Locker (Front)
Moog (All balljoints, tie-rod ends, upper arms)
Superlift Drive Shaft
3GD Sport Rotors and Greenstuff Pads (not yet installed)
Stainless Brake Lines
Limit Straps w/ Adjustable Clevis and Custom Mounts
08XLT4x4 Sway Bar Links
BakFlip HD Tonneau
Pop Lock
Infiniti FX Projectors w/ Bi-Xenon 4300K HID's (not yet installed)
Front Hidden Hitch w/ Custom Clevis
Switched over to Royal Purple
Painted Frame with Por-15
Took off Step-Bars and Mud-flaps
I don't think I'm forgetting anything.
Here's a progress picture:
I should be completely finished within a few days (need to get alignment, etc.) and will get finished pictures next weekend at a meet.
Edited to add on 11/25/09:
Here's a few more progress pictures. I still need to level the front with the rear (sits two or three inches lower in front), touch-up the POR-15 in a few areas, get an alignment, and most of all a good wash and fresh wax. I will add full vehicle shots this coming weekend once I get everything finished and detailed.

Here are a couple full truck shots. They are not very good since I just took them and it is dark outside, but I will get day pics tomorrow.

A couple snow pics from tonight.

I just came in and it was dark when I took that picture so that's all I really have right now. I took two more, but they are basically the same as the one I posted. I'll get some more tomorrow.
I'll definitely get some tomorrow.
At least now I have something to show. I got most everything finished up today. Just need to install the new driveshaft, touch up the frame where I ground off the paint, adjust the coilovers to level, install the rear shocks, and get an alignment. Almost there!

I'll be sure to let you know, but I think it is the way to go.
You're right, I am. I have not forgot, it's just too dark by the time I get home from work. I will get some soon though. I have a long weekend coming up so I will have some by Friday at the latest.
There is a little bit of dust on some of the brackets, I need to clean it off. 
On a serious note, yes, it does. Pressure washers work wonders. Not to mention, most everything is freshly painted and/or brand new.
