BlackBII's white ranger

[shane96ranger]

It looks great Buddy! Just curious what you used for your coil spacers?

 

[BlackBII]

Thanks!

I picked these up of eBay for like $40 a year or so ago. They're aluminum.

Those look like they are decent quality.

When I still had my Ranger, I tried to get Fat Bob's to use it as a test vehicle for coil spacers, but never got anywhere with them. Yours look really good though!

 

[BlackBII]

Yeah they are much nicer than the poly ones.

I should have the brakes and other little stuff done this week, then I can mount the new wheels and tires. I also ordered a new fuel pump. I think I might have an intake manifold leak; I keep getting lean codes.

 

[BlackBII]

New fuel pump and sending unit. Now I can actually tell how much fuel I have.

Best of all, new wheels and tires. Just 31's

 

[BlackBII]

New calipers, pads and hoses

Getting this off was a bitch. Took longer than everything else combined.

Installed! I should be able to stop in less than like 300 feet now.

All new steering components. The alignment guys will be thankful for this, along with the new alignment bushings

Sway bar and fuel pump are next!

 

[BlackBII]

Tires mounted!

Looks like the back needs to come up a tad.

I need to order new body mounts as well, to fix the crookedness. I also might need some flares on the front; the tires stick out a little.

nice truck.


you should give it to me for Zoie's b day..... i promise i will take care of it.



you know you want to.

 

[BlackBII]

Thanks! And no can do sir. This truck is my baby and will be for the next many many many years. I'm replacing nearly everything in hopes that she'll last another 25 years.

Time to sort out the front end

These lights are looking nasty.

Lets wet sand and clear coat them.

Polishing

Clear coated and trim painted black

New headlights installed

I ordered a new grill, and will be doing the rear drum brakes next week.

 

[BlackBII]

New mirrors

And this is the last time I do drum brakes; when these wear out I'm doing a disc swap

New grill

I just need to find a ford emblem somewhere...

 

[BlackBII]

So my fuel tank filler has been leaking for ages, today I found out why. Here's the Jerry rigged one vs the new one I bought.

New fuel pump

just checking out your thread looks like a good start and looks well done.. do you remember what rims you had on in the first few pics? Ive been thinking about getting rid of the crappy oxidized ones on my truck and going black.
