Awesome build man!

Thanks guys.
I got my rear fox shocks today. Thinking of getting a factory LS and 410 gears. Its kinda a dog with the 31's. I could use the extra traction too.

Shawn, the truck looks sick. Great work on the fab work. Keep the pics coming, they keep my brain gears churning since I have a 95 4x4 (Ranger) that I plan on building with a PreRunner look. Are you going to "pinch" the bedsides or eventually go with 'glass pieces? BTW I used Mustang seats in my '94 , so that should open up some options in the bucket seat department.

nice job on the build, that's what i really wished mine looked like but someday maybe it will..

 

[Shawn@BMS]

1Mean02HD,
Thanks. As for the bed sides do you mean "pull" my bed side or roll the edge on the bed where i cut it? I do plan on pulling my bed sides soon. Id like to find some FX seats. I may have a lead on some.

Thanks Grey-04.

Yeah pull the bedsides to "flare" them.

 

[Shawn@BMS]

Small update. Got all my Fox shocks in. There used but will do the job. Ordered some urethane bushings and resi tank mounts from ORW. As soon as they come in shocks go on.

Ok, so i got my beams (bent and extended) all sorted out. Went with some Pre 1988 Ranger Forged iBeams that were bent for a 4-5" lift and extended 4" on each side. Went with 4" lift coils. Still working on some radius arms, may go with some stock modified (temporary) radius arms. I need to make some extended steering extensions and pick up some older ranger spindles/calipers/rotors and some extended brake lines. I think im going to go with some older explorer rear leaf springs (beefier and 1-1.5" of lift). More soon...

I must say Shawn, you really nailed the stance on that truck.

WOW! just WOW! thats an awesome truck man!! looks soo cool. excellent work!
its good to see a 2WD gettin worked out. so how u really like those31"s with the 4 banger? LOL i want to get the same size for my truck, and ill get 4.10 gears ofr it later on.

MountainMike, Thanks, Should have a nicer stance soon with about 2" more higher and wider on each side.

RangerSportHonduras, Thanks man. The 31"s seem fine. To be honest not much really changed as far as power goes. My gearing went out the door. 4.10s with an LSD is in the VERY near future. Once i get the 4.10s ill be going to 33"s General Grabbers.

More soon....

Where did you get the tubing from? I don't know where to start to get some locally. Online might be my cheapest option.

 

[Shawn@BMS]

I got the tubing at a local metal yard. Google is a wonderful thing.

Online will be INSANELY expensive. The material may be cheaper but shipping will kill you.
