ive been doing alot lately so i figured i may as well make up a build thread.
i picked this truck up in early october after i sold my 2wd ranger, and my samurai project.
anyway we all love pictures so.....on to the pics
when i picked her up
immediately started the build process
steel for my sliders
action shot with sliders
then i found explorer leather seats, center console and over head console for $70! and added a set of gauges so i know my actual oil pres, water temp, and voltage.
up next came the rear bumper
then i found myself a lift for dirt cheap, i know the radius arm drop brackets suck but i cant afford extended ones yet so these will do for now
the 2 car garage where everything is built
under the knife
first drive on the lift was over to my friends huge shop, had to take some pictures under the light
yes i know i have a bit of a camber issue that im working on fixing
up next is how i decided to lay out the bed. built the highlift mounts and the mounts for the pick/axe and shovel are called quickfist clamps.
the high lift mounts
the bed
and for some reason my truck came with no passanger side oh shit handle, so after a few girls started complaining i added one.
and at the moment i am in the process of building a plate style winch bumper for up front, but in the mean time i threw some hella 500s i had laying around on the factory bumper.
i will keep updating as i build, next will be the front bumper
