We have a rebel sympathizer here... :nono:

I have a big hunk of heavy channel iron (like 1/4-3/8" thick) to make a rear bumper out of, I just haven't gotten to it yet. The mounts look pretty easy to make work for just about anything.

The rollpan look is very clean. :icon_thumby:
Yeah the rear bumper mounts are easy to adapt. I cut a couple inches off the end of them and welded my new bumper right to them. Worked great :icon_welder:

Just make one bro. Super easy and quick. :icon_thumby:
I would if I had the shop and tools...I just don't have access to it right now and have been making do with what I can find...although I did find a nice one a few years ago I had to pass on it...not enough leverage...

Maybe some day...for now I can only drool over what others have...:)

Sick truck man, just decided to join up here, glad to see there are others out there who share my enthusiasm for replacing every single part in their truck, and glad to see some other Utah folks as well!

Thanks! Yeah the idea is to basically have a brand new truck when it's all said and done.

There are quite a few of us Utah folks; we're all going wheeling next Saturday, the 14th, up American Fork canyon if you want to come. :icon_thumby:

Nice, well I'm just wrapping up the overhaul on my 4.0 this weekend so ill probably break her in for a couple weeks before any wheeling. After I know all is good to go then game on.

Cool man.

We also meetup every month or so at the Hires Big H on 4700 south and talk about our rigs and stuff. More guys are always welcome. :icon_thumby:

Keep the updates coming man!

Back just before christmas some a**hole rear ended my '92 2.3 4x4 and it got totaled out.
I ended up finding a clean '91 base model short bed 2.3 4x4 to replace it though! Gonna be transferring all my good parts & turbo engine from my wrecked one durning the upcoming months since I'll be on summer break. Maybe I'll make a build thread for it over here.

You should definitely make a build thread. That black Ranger is clean! I am jealous.

I am reaaallly thinking about turboing my truck. It is quite underpowered, even with the 4.56 gearing.

Today I scored a brand new 4.0 Auto Radiator at the local pick n pull. Went in easy, getting some hoses to match up is another story.

Shouldn't be overheating when off roading now. :icon_thumby:

What did you end up doing with those soft 8 wheels you had on in the first pics?

Those soft 8 wheels are now on my cousin's truck.

Reinstalled the rear locker, now we're locked front and rear. :icon_thumby:

Whoa you have a Custom too. Not that many of those floating around.

Why would you go beat a straight body? :icon_confused: :icon_twisted:

Whoa! Dante started a front bumper. Looks good dude. Now you just need the tube ends on there and some rock sliders.

That dent looks like a good piece to cover up with a snorkel.
