So I have decided the full size body life just isn't for me. just to wide and to easy to damage the body in the tight trails I wheel on. Heres what I had...

I can't find my happy place lol.

I will be at the badlands in attica April 9-11. Haven't decided if I am gonna attempt the cab swap before and get it done or wheel the f250 cab and put the nail in the coffin on the body down there.

Just a day trip or weekend? If weekend where yuo guys staying?

We are thinking of getting a group to run Mission Impossible on saturday perhaps.
 
Got the front clip off the truck, hope to have the f250 cab removed tomorrow after work and I have weds off and hope to have the ranger cab on the frame and secured.
 
LOL i wish i had your ambition to work on my personal stuff. Nice rig you have there.
I am interested to see how you mount the ranger cab on.I am just about finished putting a 95 ranger cab on my 87 b2 frame and i like to see other peoples ideas.
 
lmao... glad you could perform an easy task...i was just curious how you would go about it... :yahoo::yahoo::icon_thumby:
 
Did you click the link? Only thing to it is really just making the clearance for the rear axle and fabbing up two cab mount on the frame. the front four mounts already line up.
