I cut it with a 4.5" cutting disk on my angle grinder. Ive gotten pretty good with one.

 

yeah you can get good with them, but the worst is how fast you can go through discs. But it beats buying a plasma setup.

 

yea, that is only 16 guage sheet so its real easy on the disk. I actually used a old disk that was pretty much gone to cut that out.

 

i burn through 2-3 per fender! looks good though, i am not bad but those discs just dont last.

 

 

Very nice! That gave you a ton of clearance.

 

Yea Im very happy with the clearance I gained over the stock placement of the transfercase. I would like to have a completely flat skid on the bottom, but the work it would take to do that just isnt worth the little bit extra Id gain.

 

dang! that really gained you alot! I like it.

 

 

It must have rained....lol.

It's starting to come together now.

 

So I take it it rained lol

Are you going to be adding a cup holder to this one?

 

Yea it rained today, and yes there will be a cup holder. I havent made the cup holder yet.

 

nice progress on the truck. You could still flat belly it with just a few sloped bump outs in it if you wanted. I'm sure it wouldnt really make any hang-ups, and it would look badass.

 

Yea the more I thought about it I realized that for the few small spots it hangs down I can just build it to fit. Nice to see someone else have the same idea.

 

 

Very nice man, looks like it's going to pretty stought, is that a cup holder, sweet LOL

 

Those doors are sweet, I wasn't sure about the design at first, but with the metal in there and the cupholder, it looks killer.

 

yeah for sure, doors are looking good too!

 

Nothing to update. If everything goes according to plan I should have some things to update in here in the next week or two though.

 

mig?

i hate welding thin metal never mind the patience needed to weld on the edges of sheet metal. Those doors are really nice!


Its lookin good, maybe i'll get another ranger and follow in your foot steps with a stupidly long build lol

 

Yea it is mig. I have .035 wire in it though so it welds that door like crap. I need to pick up some .025 wire so I can do the sheetmetal work I need to do a little cleaner.

 

haha i could imagine, my little pos HF welder with .030 wire on the absolute lowest setting sucked welding my tailgate back together.

 

im getting into the never ending subscription


truck looks good i really like the cup holder in the door

 

yeah I've got .25 wire in right now and it handles the small gauge pretty good

 

Yea, I picked some up today.
