Truck is looking good! I don't think I've seen it since you bought it!

I see you've got the same "canopy too high" problem mine has! I swear every other Ranger with a canopy has it....and it drives me nuts! lol.

American Racing has a wheel called "Mojave" in polished, chrome, and teflon with a similar 8 hole design with flat faces in a 17x8 and 16x8 with our bolt pattern. Both with a 0 offset/4" backspace. I can't find anything on their hard to use website but did find this...

Thanks Shane.

 

Thanks Shane. It does sit a little high, but not too bad.

Thinking of dipping the wheels for winter. Prob will do it this weekend.

Also trying to pick up a basket for the topper. And a used 33" spare

 

how do you like the durtracs?

 

best tire ive owned imo. and they are mint in the snow. i have them on the ranger. and i put them on my parents yukon and my mom who doesnt really care about vehicles or anything swears by them and wont give them up for anytthing in the winter

 

New rebuilt rearend with 4.56 and rebuilt L/S



And a shot comparing a friends ranger with mini lightbar vs my setup

 

those 5100's on the rear?



heres my latest. rust prevention and body lift progress. only had about an hour tonight before it got to dark. got a few things done. just unclipping and unbolting things.

actually surprised how little rust there was when i pulled everything off. just slight surface rust. sanded and hit with anti rust flat black paint.

 

iirc yes they are

 

how do they ride? i need to do the rear soon. just did the fronts with the yellow bilstiens (stock replacement) but the rear needs something better for my abuse

 

Duratracs are great. I like them better then the BFG's I had on my Bronco. I've heard the sidewalls are weak, but I haven't had any problems. I don't wheel much, though.

 

duratracs are good tires. especially in winter.
but they do have a weak sidewall. for someone who doesnt wheel though it wont be an issue.

ive wrecked two on my brothers chevy so far lol they just cant handle as much as other tires

 

Maaaaaaan what's up with those brake lines?? Happy to see her in. And duder, if I have to tell you one more time to remove that factory exhaust hanger........LOL.

I've got 5100's under mine and have ever since the lift went on in '08. Ride is amazing and it's never rode better with Fox 2.5's and 750lb coil-overs up front and explorer leafs, belltech shackles, and 5100's out back. Back when it was still torsion bar, it was leaps and bounds better with just the 5100's out back compared to superlifts all around.

 

I wasn't paying attention and nicked a gas pump island. It took a chunk outta my sidewall. I wasn't really worried as I have E load tires and they have like 3ply or something stupid like that.

 

Just installed my light bar I purchased from alon and KC Apollo long range lights. I still need to wire them up but I'm waiting for the weekend to do that. Once I get some more cash I want to add a 3rd light to the bar. Ill get some better pics of the truck in the next few days.

 

Not my most recent but it is my most recent gripe! Had one of those bastard diodes fail on me....4th one in from the left.

I've got some ideas short of ordering a whole new strip...time and lazyness/productivity shall play a role here. lol.

 

Made a dump run the other day and had a fair bit of stuff

 

 

this my 94 step side Splash in March 2012 at SMORR'S after just a 7 day build

 

Here is my 2002 Ranger....Added the camper shell from a local scrap yard for $40 (perfect glass/screens. Just need keys for latches and new struts)

 

They are actually 5125 series

 

Playing with my new photo editing app.

FInally re-wired the 4x4 lights after the manual swap so theyll stop blinking and display 4wd when it's engaged.

 

 

body lifted
