mild prerunner build

fx2prerunner · Jan 12, 2009

I first posted this build in the rbv's under construction but since upgraded my page with new up to date pics and this is a more suitable place to get advice, keep in mind I'm not building a race truck just something that has the look and I can have fun in. check it out and let me know what you think so far. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2879150

cool build man, it'll definitely have more than just "the look" when you're done!

fx2prerunner · Jan 15, 2009

Thanks guys, I'm working 80 hrs a week so I dont get alot of time to work on the truck but I just ordered my 1 1/4" heims and picked up the steel I need to make my I-beams, I got some machine work and fabrication work to do but I should be able to give you guys a look at them in a few weeks

84projectFORD · Feb 13, 2009

haha i know. im movin a bit slow due to this bein my last semester in college and it takin up time. also the fact that the ranger is 200 miles away from me. in about two weeks ill finally be free to work on her again.

i did jsut talk to a fellow on here that has some 4.56 gears for my 8.8 for 100 bucks! hopefully i can get them soon!

Wow FX2 and 84, you guys trucks are crap, with crap parts. I can't believe you guys will try to show it off. All I see is soddy fab work with shitty parts. OK ya I'm just ****en with you guys I wish I could see these up close, and work with some of those tools to start working on fabing cool shit.

LMAO! man you had me there for a min! haha but hey, im ALOT closer than FX2 is and your welcome to come over anytime to check the truck out. Ill be back down on the 25th to plate the frame from the back forward, just picked up a 4'x4' sheet of 3/16 plate to GET R' DUN! I think i still got your number so ill send ya a text next week to see if your free. It will most likely be just my buddy and i. Time to get to :icon_welder:

FX2, i REALLY think you need to trailer that bad boy down here for a week or so when you finish her so we can all go out and break something. Hell maybe we could all meet up at Pismo Beach by Raceranger and paly in the dunes there. Ive been there twice and its perfect for our trucks plus its jsut cool as hell :headbang:

. Oh and if someone gets stuck, dont worry, ill have the big bad chevy come pull us out
