Kyle M's Ranger Rebuild

[Josh40601]

I have stock chevy 1500 rear leafs, 3 leaf pack with no overload. Air shocks have 320psi and 400cc's or oil. Anything else you would like to know?






Painted the truck....finally! It turned out alright, not really happy with it the gun kept dripping on it and this was the first time I sprayed a metalic single stage paint. It will just get messed up anyway so I'm not really worried about it. It's green now, so get off my ass, you know who you are!

Just gotta let it dry so I can put the flare back on, do the bedliner or black spray paint for now, and the emblem.

Looks so bad ass!! I see you got the moose out and cleaned up

Well, gave it hell all last weekend at the Badlands and everything held pretty good! Friday we just played around in the park, Saturday we ran Mission Impossible, then Sunday we played in the quarry. I have to say I am very happy with how my whole set up works, pretty much point and shoot all weekend after I got the feel for it.

Only thing that broke was a cap in a Ujoint, replaced that and kept going. I have a lot of other damage that needs to be fixed or watch, the list is,

Radiator fan quit on me
mess up my driver seat, it has a ganster lean now
bent my radius arm
trashed my box
fairlead fell apart
trashed my licence plate
T case is leaking


All in all, just gonna fix the fan and keep on wheeling

Here are a few pictures, didn't take much, other may have taken some and I will post when I get em.

ready to go

a little bit of flex

Group shot

some aftermath

And the trailer tire that gave up the ghost about an hour out of town...

did you have the doors off at one point?

 

[Kyle M.]

Yup, most of the weekend......best thing ever!

ye just saw it in the show off, i was wondering why the diffenece in mud lol. half doors and no doors is the way to roll makes it so much better

 

[Kyle M.]

here are a couple of my videos....





The rest of the video, which we, Cheap Thrills Offroad, have a lot of, but we are holding out for a better cause. A member of our group was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer and we are going to be making a group video and selling them to donate to his cause. If anyone is interested, just contact one of the few CTOR member on here for details.
