Well I'll add tie-down points to the inside of the bed so I can at least take my motorycle somewhere if I need to. It looks a lot better without the stake pockets.

Ok I get it. I guess me being in construction the inside tiedowns piss me off when I gotta fill up the bed with moldy asbestos drywall and make a landfill trip. It will work well for you and looks clean:headbang::headbang:

2 reasons.. 1. Because I'm using Mustang brakes. These Rotors are 11.6" and vented, and have an integrated parking brake in the caliper. 2. An Explorer axle is 3" wider than my axle, I don't want to run into clearance issues with my wheels/tires. I'm going with 13" Cobra parts up front, so I want the rear to be equally as beefy.


Heres an update, got my windshield in a couple of weeks ago, figured it was time, since its been ready for months, lol.


Got my wheels painted!!!
primed and sanded..

Red on the bead, it has pearl in it but you can't really tell.

I sprayed the silver on the inserts, but it was not cooperating. I let it dry overnight, and it still peeled off when I tried to tape it.

So I just sprayed them completely black..




What do you guys think? Should I still spray the inserts silver, or should I just leave them black?

well yaaaaaa, look up the page a bit at the post I made at the beginning of July. The only cool thing about that burnout is that was with 3.08 gears and that little 205 was spinning 35mph. :yahoo:

I would keep the black/red combo on the rims. That will look better and look different from what others have out there. You been working on this Ranger for along time now. Any idea when it will be done???
hopefully this summer, but I've been saying that the past 3 summers.
