until I have the money for drop shocks I flipped it back to stock for now. I would rather a smooth ride right now till I can afford them haha. Should be back down in the weeds soon though, I'm going to buy some hardbody shocks this week, i'll keep it posted

Well I got it flipped again and my drop shocks, there 90' Nissan D21 2wd shocks, and they work great! Nice to be back in the weeds again haha

I like your truck. However, I'm not a fan of those pipes lol. What I think would be cool would be to make them exit straight through the roll pan, and be about flush with it. Reminds me of my girlfriend's grandfather's old '66 mustang's pipes.

I actually just shortened the pipes today, looks a ton better. They stuck out like that because the exhaust shop ran them right to the edge of the bumper, so when i switched to the rollpan, it stuck out lol. not anymore tho

changed it up a bit
Going to add the Monster Energy Logo on the strip in the middle sometime soon. Paint used was "Duplicolor Grabber Green Engine enamel"

rear's all black now

well I got 2 of the Monster Rims mounted and installed on the truck, they used to have 30/9.50R15's on them, now there 195/60R15's off a Ford Focus, a tiny bit of tire stretch, looks awesome with low-pros Other 2 will be mounted and installed Sunday hopefully.

[Z3CHYD]

I need a raised tranny crossmember lol

Snowed a half decent snow finally, so I got the winter tires on the rear and the cap on for weight, since he's 2wd haha

I took the green rims off because i never got around to getting them balanced yet lol

Got some serious snow packed on the front suspension lol

Well I'm getting a parts ranger 92 Ford Ranger, 2.9 auto. Only has 88k miles on it, buying for 400 bucks Thing is, owner says sometimes it starts and runs fine, sometimes it just cranks. I'm thinking a faulty relay, he replaced the entire fuel pump pickup/pump unit. It's has a ranger GT lower valence, sunroof, lund stepbars and visor, stick on hood scoop(lol) flatbeds pretty nice, has explorer short console, sparco seats, custom wood door panels, and tires are almost new, only has 88k miles on it too. I'm buying it [] Plans will probably be pull the low mileage 2.9 for when mine bites the dust, seriously thinking about swapping front ends, use the interior, seats, center console, maybe door panels idk yet, gonna def. use the lund visor, and gt lower valence.
here's 2 pics I got when i looked at it

 

[Z3CHYD]

got the 92 home. after driving it around the block, im considering putting it back on the road. auto shifts perfectly, even into over drive, and rides very nice. 2.9 has a tap, but its also overfilled with oil and has been sitting since september. Flatbed would be the first thing to go on it lol

only 89k!
