Haven't really posted any pics of the truck recently. I did a lot of work to it over the last 2 months. Installed a Explorer 31 Spline 8.8 with 4.10s and limited slip with only 130k on it, installed explorer leaf springs with a 2 inch lift shackle and removed lift blocks, finally painted the hood to match the rest of the truck, installed 06 Ranger fender badges, black fx4 lvl 2 decals on the bed and installed a bug deflector.

Now I'm going to save up some money for a superlift. For those of you running the superlift, how are you lifting the rear of the truck. From what I've seen the superlift kit only comes with a 3" lift block for the rear, but I do not want to install a lift block back there. Would love to upgrade to coil overs while doing the lift but it'll depend on if I have the money at the time, if not I guess I'll just install the t-bar drop brackets for now.

Onto pictures.

 

That bumper is awesome but those edge bedrails don't match up with the Mazda/stx bed.

Where did you guys get that front bumper again?

 

looks good.

except the level II decal! poser status!

haha jk bud.

 

looks great. x2 on that bumper, it looks good on there but the aerostar takes the win in this thread haha

 

Love the tires!

 

Yeah I know they don't really fit the bed all that well, but that extra 3 inches of bed height has come in handy a lot when I'm hauling stuff back there. That and it covers up the dents on my bed rails from when I didn't have them on and was hauling a lot of scrap metal.

I got the bumper from C4x4 The prices are a little high, but a lot cheaper than buying a lot of the other aftermarket plate bumpers.
Thanks, yeah I know I was gonna receive some **** about the stickers. But technically my truck and a level 2 clone and then some.

Thanks and yeah the aerostar is my neighbors, that thing hasn't moved in over a year. I don't think it even runs. I see them out there all the time working on it, but it never moves and I've never hear it running.

Yeah, I love these tires as well, whenever these ones wear out I'll defiantly be buying them again, just this time it'll be 35s. They just out perform any other tire I've ran in the past, never have gotten stuck with them yet and I've been trying. Just must not be trying hard enough.

 

Looks good, I've thought about some of those bedrails for mine.

 

Truck looks sweet! Good work all around, really like the flat paint.

 

nice ranger in the background, same bumper too?

Kind of odd with that all chrome rear bumper, any plans for that?

 

 

Yeah that's Kyle's ranger. He's kinda copying me lol.

And yeah I have plans on building a rear bumper for it. I have most of the metal to do it. Just need to get something better to cut it with and get some spare time to do it. Just kind of hard to do as I don't have a garage or place to do it currently.
