This is what all of my recent work has accomplished

 

Not my pic, but Goof's04Edge took a picture of my truck at Dewey's wedding.

 

Nice truck... What are its mods? Those wheels are sick what brands of wheels and tires is it?

 

Are those explorer seats? Out of which year?

 

Yes, they came out of a 2000 explorer limited.

 

Those expo seats sure do look comfortable, 97rangerstepside. I'd love to find a working set then have them reupholstered in black cloth, with either blue or prairie tan stitching.

Maybe someday.

 

They are, much more comfortable than the 60\40 seats. Only thing I need to do is find a new side panel for the drivers seat. One of the clips is broke.

 

Curious, how much did those seats run you? J/Y I assume?

 

yep got them from the j/y. I paid $110 for the pair. Im right around $150 in everything

 

Not bad, actually. Assuming that's the original leather, they're in great shape. Too bad every set of seats I've come across in the j/y are either ripped up, stained up, or one of those really really bad interior colors. A certain green, hint hint. Green should stay on the outside of a vehicle! lol

 

i feel i got lucky with these seats, i had been looking for some time and was in the same dilemma, either the seats were destroyed or the wrong color, the rig i got these out of must have been a new arrival to the yard cause hardly anything was taken off of it. and it is original leather but they were kind of dry feeling so ive been using conditioner quite a bit on them.

 

My brother's '89 still can't believe he sold it. such a nice truck

 

Holy cow! That is one pristine machine! I'm very impressed.

 

Yeah too bad there's such a thing as college lol

 

Education shouldn't be a debt sentence. And people say I'm crazy for not going.

 

Haha yeah. I asked if he'll ever do the whole life search and try to find it again 20 years from now but I doubt it. He barely fit in it he's like 6'4" haha

 

 

Beautiful ride! What lift kit and tire size are you using?

 

Thanks!

Truck has a 4" suspension lift, and a 3" body lift. Suspension lift consists of 4" lift spindles and cranked torsion bars up front, and 2" shackles and Explorer leaf springs out back.

 

How's the ride quality? I hear lifts really make 'em a not-so-fun ride afterwards.


New badges!

 

Truck seems to always be dirty

 

Mine?

 

It's a Ranger. You can kiss ride quality goodbye even when stock.

But to answer your question, it's really not that bad. I haven't really noticed any difference. But of course if I rode in a stock truck again, maybe I would feel differently.

 

Shaun is also running factory shocks still, just like a FRF newb.

 

I've got gabriel shocks. For 70 bucks they're great. The original ones were rusting from the inside out.
