Thanks, the springs are suppose to be soft but they don't really look like it. I don't know much about them. Supposable thay are the same brand ford uses on the Raptor. not sure about that one. I wish I had a grauge so I wouldn't have to drive across town to do work on my truck. My wife dosen't mind though she would never see me lol.

Thanks! I had no choice. I had to have the ranger out of the shop during the week. I took it to work on Friday and brought it home on Sunday. I wish I had a shop at my house so I didn't have to stay after work. It was a B**ch let me tell ya. But worth it. I'll never do it again though.

I got my doubler in last night. It was a bi*** but I got it. turns out I didn't have to swap out tanks to fit it in. I did however have too do some cutting and banging on the body with a hammer. It was a very long night.







Unfortunatly red primer is all I could find.

Shifters and front driveline go in next weekend hopfully!

I'm thinking about making a two peace drive live with a roller bering and a cv joint. I kinda want to keep the stock cross member. I have a idea for a skid plat that will mount up to it real nice. I have all week to think about it.

My buddy accidently burnt through my floorboard with the plasma. So I spent about 4 hours yesterday detailing the inside of the truck to get all smell out. now it smells like pinsole, windex, fabreze and burnt carpet. The inside is cleaner then its been in about 2 years though so thats nice.

My wife let me out of the house today. So I decided to mount my shifters

But first I had to make a bushing for the shifter assembly.


I ment to take a picture of the finished project but I got excited and put it together before I rememberd to.

Then I decided to start making a cover. Not quite finished but its gonna be cool when it is. Its not staying shiny thats for sure!

Thanks! I haven't had time to do any work to the ranger since my wife had the new baby. But, I have a stack of tube and a dozen other parts waiting to be installed so hopefully I can get something done and post some more pictures for you guys soon.

Did you buy your doubler already as a set, or did you make it?
