Yeah, I figured it took a few days for them to actually post it. Im having a hard time finding someone else to nominate, seems like everyone has already won it this year! I would have nominated Multiranger myself, but someone beat me to it, his truck truly deserves it!

I love your truck. I agree on the front bumper.. The truck looks much better without the STX Bumper. The truck looks awesome. You did a really good job on it. I have to assume since the last year for the Bronco II was 90 (I think) Then the rear sway you used should work like a champ on a 90 Ranger right? Mine handles like a Mustang but there is always room for improvement!! Again Great job on the truck!!

The BII sway bar will fit perfect on your truck.

I ran a '90 BII 1" rear bar and an '87-'89 Ranger STX 1 & 3/16" front bar on my '90.... Huge improvement.

Thanks man, good luck with TOTM, your truck is very clean! Snoranger says the BII bar fits, I say go get one! The BII sway bar was one of the biggest improvements Ive made in the handling department!

I am with you on Multi ranger. That truck is INSANE! there is another truck but it is still being built :/ . But when it is done I feel bad for anyone running with it cause he will probably dominate lol

If you don't mind my asking what is your method for doing the touch-ups? I've tried using touch up pens in the past but the results weren't near as good.
I have always found if you get a book of matches you can tear one out then use the torn end as a touch up brush.. The key is to remember it's touch up paint not brush it on paint..

Cool trick! I was able to use the ball tip of the pen side with really good success. I would just barely press the ball tip in and it would release just enough paint to fill the "crater" from the chip. You would really have to look at my truck now to see where I applied the touch up paint.

Thanks! As far as I know I won the SEPTEMBER TOTM, they just havent posted it yet. It looks like the usually post the winner on the first weekend of the month. If you notice Casper is still up there from August and they posted his on the 7th.

Now its your turn! Your truck has been nominated for October TOTM and I am sure you will win, your truck is beautiful and very well done!
