the factory nuts for the bumper were jammed against the frame horn, but i pulled off the lift brackets from the body lift. I really wonder how much those things actually helped, they seemed to do a pretty good job

 

i know the feeling i slid my mine into a pole trying to be a bad azz no fun :(

 

damn man, less than 2 weeks before a show, well at least you can upgrade now, lol

 

more pics:

 

I just ordered 01-06 headlights and clear corners, and a black 01-03 grille w/ wargent bars. I guess the header panel didn't change from 4th gen to 5th gen, so the headlights and hopefully the grille will mount right up.

I just found a JY edge powerdome hood, and the best part is, when I went to check if I had enough money in my account, I found out I had gotten my refund check,, so the US Treasury just bought me a new hood!!!

I'm going to have one of the only 1999 "Edge's"!!! (Has any one else done this??)

 

Sweeet! Yeah a couple other people have done it, it looks good though!

 

my vote too, if yer gona spend money to fix it, replace it with cool parts

 

go to certifit.com they are cheap for ur OEM fiberglass stuff

 

Yes, you'll need to get the 01-03 Header panel for those parts to work. Cant wait to see how it turns out! Good luck man

 

welcome to the pole smacking club.. i was also being a hot *** if you will. mine was popped out for the most part with a 36" pry bar though, sadly you cant do that one


i was about to pay $150 for that support that holds the headlights but certifit has them for 30.75.. problem is you have to have them shipped to a business or shipping is outragous! 145 in shipping alone to my apt! hopefully i can get it shipped to the school.

 

Not trying to be negative Nancy but in both pictures from the front the drivers side tire appears to be pointed in a different direction than the passenger side. Towed out if you know what I mean. Better watch tire wear every day to be sure.
Sorry about your luck

 

Yea, I saw that too. I've been trying to ignoring it, and hope it goes away. I looked under there and couldn't find anything obviously damaged, and it still tracks straight. My camber looks a bit negative, especially on the driver's side tire, which it shouldn't since I have my torsion bars cranked, but it has always looked that way. But until it starts wearing my tires uneven, it's not a problem.

 

well if both tires have about equal negative camber it wont pull that much, get it fixed i ruined 2 of my tires from letting it go for only 2 months.

 

I'm watching it carefully, I have the eccentrics in my toolbox, if it starts wearing my tires, I'll throw the eccentrics on, and get an alignment. I might do that anyway, I know I should, but it's just more money.

I just looked up and saw your in Laramie,,, actually, I think I talked to you at Fastenal one time,, about AVM/Rugged Ridge hub locks. I just graduated in March.

 

Pole 1

Troy -1

Lol

 

Nice, yea i remember.
im stuck here until september 19th

 

I fixed my front cross member (back-yard-mechanics)

before,,,


after,,,


how,,,


that was a sturdy cross member, spun all for tires (sorry about you're front lawn mom and dad)


I just put it in 4-low and gave it some tension, stopped, stress relieved with a 3 lb sledge, pulled on it some more, stopped, stress relieved, and so on until it was straight. (well, straight-ish). Then threw some shaker can black on it to hide my hammer and chain marks. I know it isn't perfect, but it's a hell of a lot better, and it will hold a bumper.

 

nice!

 

**** I need to try that on mine. But mine is the left frame horn is bent back not the middle. Oh well

 

bummer, its real easy to kick the *** out on our trucks.. just about every turn i make in 2nd and just tap the gas i can kick it.

i say 01-03 swap!!!!!!

 

Fog lights are fine, and for sale. 1 is slightly yellow because it used to have a crack in the case (NOT the lense) I cleaned/dried it all out, re-sealed the case, and replaced the bulb about 6-8 months ago, it's been dandy since.


The valence is a scratched up, but it's in 1 piece. not a very good picture,,,


I'm waiting on my 01-03 headlights and hood, then I can take off my '99 headlights (look just about brand new) PM me if you're interested.

 

I have some 03 stock amber corners if you want them

 

Thanks, but I already bought 03 clear corners.

 

Bah! You poser! You hardly bent anything. Now HERE is the result of serious power slide:



That's what I did to my 2001 Ranger, lol. J/K on the poser stuff.

I bent the frame -- it was totaled. I drove it home "crab wise" -- kind of angled down the road. I was impressed it could move.

Looks like you made a nice recovery using "specialty" tools, lol.

 

I don't care who you are...

That's custom right there! lol
