my picture whoring thread/spring build

[06RangerXLT]

Since i am a big fan of taking pics, and the summer is right around the corner, its time for the spring build. its a large change to the truck that will greatly improve performance and ride. Im finally ditching the daily driver parts. so far, everything except rear shocks has been ordered. Parts list is as follows (+/-) a few things.

Mcneil Bedsides
Devaer F31 Leafs
Explorer 8.8 w/ Discs
Lock-Right locker
4.56 gears
New brakes
Fox 2.0x8 remote resi shocks
Camburg 2.0 upgrade kit
Ruff stuff axle swap kit
16" limit straps
Kartek 1.5" drop hangers
G2 Gear swap kit w/ timken bearings.
steel order (6x10 sheet 3/16 and 48ft 1.75 tube)
Optima Yellow top


So, as you can imagine, im going to be busy over the next month. everything should be here in 2 weeks, and ready for install. I will need to fabricate a shock setup out back, and I have steel to box my frame. there is a Silver Lake Dunes trip in june id like to have it ready for.

I will post lots of updated pics, for right now i only have a few parts pics.

explorer axle.

And the truck as of last night.

I look forward to updating this!

i mounted my WHAMBULANCE volt gauge. best $3 i ever spent. Yes, it dims as well. switches arent hook up yet. its just an excuse to buy more lights/thingsthatneedtoturnonandoff

this number should be 60/40, so im curious if they had a stock set revalved. it seems to compress and extend pretty similar.
