not too bad of a price for it either. dixonbros.com
you dont have to go fast if ya have a L/T front end, more travel than factory is never bad, nor is being wider= stability

INT3RC3PTOR 04-03-2008 06:27 PM

Well i know about that kit, Almost got it just for the hell of it. But my truck is going solid axle. I do want to pick up another ranger to build for the fast offroad i want to do

INT3RC3PTOR 05-16-2008 12:32 AM

Ha ha, we all know that ain't gonna fly. Once you got the mod bug, you ain't getting rid of it. :sorry: $$$:rocketwho

Urandaman 05-16-2008 02:13 AM

ha nah, ill be able to save, i saved up the money to build the truck, just my income stopped, and bills kept comming so i had to tap into savings, and then i needed new shocks, so i might as well get something worth while ha.

and there wont be any reason to spend money on the truck while im away at "A" school, and then i have no clue where ill get stationed at, but, once i get about a years worth of pay saved up in an account i cannot touch for a while, ill save up to mod the truck again ha

Urandaman 05-24-2008 09:41 PM

update,
built a bed cage today, 14hrs straight, little idea of what we were doing, but i think it will work out good.

04blackedge 05-24-2008 10:09 PM

**** I think its cool that your doing this to a 07. I'd love to go get a 08 4x4 sport and double lift it with 37s and 17s.

I don't think so, its no big deal saying double lifted imo. Saying "evar" is more retarded.

bedsides are stock, but pulled
Attachment 197764

when it comes time for fiberglass bedsides, the bed is going to be cut up ALOT. due to a last minute thing that i noticed AFTER we welded the cage to the frame.... the down tube is 1/2" above the last body mount haha, so it is now impossible to remove the bed, or even lift it without cutting something.

Urandaman 05-24-2008 11:46 PM

and also a video clip of my 25dollar muffler, woo hoo, Cherry Bomb Delta Flow Turbo or something like that haha.
