i got a spare matching the rest of the wheels :) i even powrcoated it with the rest of the wheels..

dont worry put the BL and let it sit for a whle. u can always put the steering extension later that doesent appear on the pics anyway :)

 

You need the steering extension to drive it...

 

he did say and let it sit for awhile. lol

is it done yet?

 

The end that came with the kit did not fit properly. I'll update from home.

 

Had to leave the truck, still not finished. My exhaust looks like hell. Looks like a trip to Scotty's to get that fixed. Not too sure the Waag is gonna be able to go back on, so that makes me mad! Just expected too much and got let down. I've got some progress pics, I'll upload em soon. Taking tomorrow off from work to go help Scott finish the job. Thanks to my buddy Ryan for all his help, Bill "Smashed96gt" for all his help and expertise AND for keeping a smile on his face when I really needed it, and to Scott for his help and use of the shop and tools.

 

What's going on with the steering extention? They can be stubburn...I find using a little bit of grease and they'll just slide ride into eachother. Steering wheel side first, then the steering box side.

 

I bet the part is fine, I had to dick with mine for several hours. lol
It is definitely stubborn. My friend and I took turns trying to get the damn thing on for hours and hours like a couple of idiots. Eventually I think turning the wheels and steering wheel, it just slipped on and what point. We were both shocked and looked at each other like, "WTF?!?! Why didn't this work 3 hours ago?!"

 

Apparently there was a change in connectors between 06 and 07 with the part. I'm getting ready to post a pic of it. It was missing a hole where one needed to be inorder to connect with my year so had to improvise.

 

False. Marie's '08 is running a steering extention off an '03 truck. Cory's '07 is running a kit off an '02 truck. Several others 06+ bodylifted trucks are running 01-05 kits.

 

It worked on Marie's truck and Cory's truck?

 

damn brenda that sucks u didnt get it all finished...

 

Yes. With no modifications whatsoever.





Just as Brian hinted on, I think Brenda's truck's issue is a simple alignment issue between the steering wheel shaft and the rack and pinion shaft. It's pretty stubburn and can be a pain. Biggest pain in my BL was the steering extention.

 

did you guy's get the problem solved? cant wait to see the finished look.

 

No its not done, we are all retards that were doing it. Pics will be up tomorrow.

This is the booger that caused all the rukus

 

That AINT a ranger steering extention.

 

Thats what came in the kit. What is it?

 

THIS is a Ranger extention.





Disregard the tape. But you get the idea.

 

IDK what you got. That isn't anything on a Ranger BL.

 

Interesting....no wonder why we had such an issue. M f'ers put the wrong dang part in there? WTF?

 

I assume so. booo!

 

Yeah you got the wrong part, that blows!

 

well that really sucks, i'd call em up and have them overnight that steering extension.

 

Yeah that really does suck especially all the money I spend at Summit. First bad experience ever.

 

yeah id call them tomorrow... tell them to send u the part overnight. Beings that u spend alot of money there.

 

haha
