Nice truck! My uncle has an avalanche with the 5.3 and he gets 21 on the highway. They are very nice trucks overall. Definitely an improvement over the Dodge.

 

you did alot of work, lol

 

Nice truck. I like the fact that it has a manual transfer case.
Does it have the Gov-Loc? I like the G80 in my dad's Silverado more than the Ford LS in my F-250. Positive lock up is a great thing when a tire comes off the ground.

BTW... I've been seeing a lot of non-Ranger posts here lately. And, that's fine by me.

 

 

lol

 

Good lookin truck. I like that the rear bench seat folds up so you still have room to put there back there.

 

nice choice... the dodge was flat out fugly. no offense. lol

 

Thanks for the comments everybody.

After today, I am definitely liking this truck. I had to do a lot of driving for work, and it's just so much nicer not having to shift when going through town. And getting up to highway speeds is way easier.

There are a few things that I may change later on, like power windows, but my only real complaint that I don't know if there is a fix for is the turning radius. Maybe I am just used to having a single cab short box, but this thing is like trying to turn the Titanic in the Nile!

And I know a lot of you want to pick on me for getting a Chevy. Do not fret, though, as my dad has been doing it non stop.

I guess I made my mom jealous, because she took her mustang down to trade it on a truck herself :(. I'm really gonna miss her stang. Not even sure what she's getting, but I have a feeling it's a Chevy too.

I'm going to do some work to the truck this weekend, so expect a ton of pictures. Better ones, of course.

 

ah dude! u got rid of the dodge WTH! lol.. i really liked ur dodge, but i rekon i cant say much.. i got rid of mine to.. but I WILL be getting another one.

 

Now I don't have to give you a hard time about the bumper. You need this hood on the truck Shane posted your truck.

 

I like it!! I think its funny you were expectin to get flamed and most people were like yay i like it!! Good deal man but i would never lower a 4x4. kinda defeats the purpose IMO.

 

Very nice Jimmeh! Im not a fan of Dodge lol

 

definitely an improvement over that dodge...

 

I'm gonna try to say this without throwing up..... the truck looks halfway decent.....

 

Nice truck.

Get rid of the mudflaps and get more aggressive wheels and tires.

 

Nice truck, I like those body styles. I was looking at those several times before I got my FX4. I was looking at Z71s with 5.3s. Those are good trucks, and a tiny part of me once and a while questions if I should have got one but oh well too late now.

 

So you chose the chevy because your toolbox fits it? lol
" I have to find a truck to fit this toolbox.."

 

i love it

and no, the turning radius doesnt get any better lol, my dad has a 98 xcab and forget marking uturns haha

 

Yup. That the only reason I chose it.

Thanks again everybody for the comments, good or bad.

I took some more pictures. A few of the only trouble spots I have found on the truck, and just a couple of randoms.





VINYL FLOOR FTW!




I'm gonna be talking to my buddy this weekend about his wheels and tires (33's on 18's), and also about a grill guard that he has stored here at my house. Other then that, though, I don't know if I'm going to do much to the truck other then drive it.

 

doesnt look any different? im confused. lol kidding, great upgrade from the turd...ehem i mean dodge. j/k what up with the ranger, up and running yet?

 

Nope. Waiting for a weekend that I'm not working to mess with it. I could mess with it right now, but I don't really feel like it, lol.
