I still think the 7.5 would last longer even with a different ratio, lol, you could probably cut the carrier in half and jb weld it back together and still be stronger. All kidding aside though, did you leaf spring the d30? Or coil?

i kept the coils cause it lined up perfectly, all i had to do was make brackets for the trailing arms and it slid right in, i have a fuel injected 302 from an f150 and d44s from a jeep wagoneer in my yard right now, just need time to install em

Ha, that was my old camera. For a while it was messing up so I had to do videos and then take stills from them to get pictures. Then I borrowed a camera whenever I needed pictures, and I finally ended up buying a new one a few months ago. Barely use it though, I keep forgetting I own it.

I picked up a little Kodak Easyshare-touch on clearance at Target. Only problem I have with it so far is the green light on the front blinding people, but some electrical tape fixed that.

The truck needs a whole lot more work until it's finished. I was doing the math earlier today, once I got over two grand it made me queezy. You don't notice how much you spend fixing up vehicles until you add it all together. Little bits at a time go easy, all of it at once is... ugh.

dude i know what you mean, i got a decent job this summer and i was going to dump some money into my truck, but then two days ago my mom backed into my truck doing 1800 in damage, that the insurance wont cover. really its just a dent in the quarter panel, but im about sick of putting my money into my truck to just have it messed up again.

These are just two random pictures, I didn't actually try to make it look so different from those opposite perspectives haha. I'll find some better ones, I have like 150 gigs of photos to dig through.

Here's the oldest picture I can find of my Ranger. This was maybe 6 months or so after I got her:


Here is the most recent picture I have:


Few changes, many improvements.

Apologies for the shitty pictures. Both were taken from a cell phone. I don't own a camera =[.

Edit: Here's one new one out of a bunch that I took today.


My sister is a photographer, had her take a whole set. I have a few more in my "project" thread.
