Default My summer/fall build

I thought I would post up a couple pics of my truck that is being built by myself and Ski at CTmotorsports in brampton.
I wheeled it like this


And 5 broken axleshafts and two years later I decide it was time to build up.
New specs
-1990 ranger, 120” wheelbase, front axle about 10” forward, rear about 16” forward, and cut 19” out of the frame, 44” TSLs on 15” rims,
-1992 mustang 5.0L with some bolt ons, mildly built C6, KluneV (4:1), NP 205.
-Ford king pin D60, with moser inners, Yukon outers, long fields and a Detroit, shortened to about 62” WMS to WMS
-Custom front three link with tracbar, Lowers 46” long, 2.5”x 3/8” DOM with 1 ¼” evos, upper 46” long, 2.25” x 3/8” DOM with 1” evos, early bronco 24” coil springs.
-D60 rear with 35 spline Yukons, and a spool, skyjacker 6” lift leave springs.
1410s at the axles and 1350s at the T-case.
As it stands now



And some older suspension shots




And no the pot belly in a red shirt is niether Ski or me.



Still lots to do like, the exocage, driveshafts, rad in the bed, wire in the 5.0L, steering and tracbar, etc. But I wanted to aleast show the people that have heard me talk about the truck that Ski and I are making progress.

Its cool to see your truck again. When I first joined I had that first pic as my wall paper. I wanted my truck to look like that.

Thanks for the comments.
I will post up more pictures as we make progress, and hopefully some action shots before the snow falls.
Parkinglot/raginranger I remember that day as well, we will have to meet up again once it is running
