Driverside

Front

Passanger side

What should I do about the inner fender because i dont want to move the things that are bolted to it..Can I just cut around them?

 

[dangerranger83]

Well are you planning on using an inner fender? If so then try to make that one fit somehow. Dont see any harm in cutting.

 

[Dakota83]

idk i think im just going to cut it out...i put on my new rotter and cap yesterday then my starter died on me

 

[Ranger Sport Honduras]

wow nice fenders, now u need some cragar soft 8's in 15x8 and some RWL 245/60 tires and ur done

 

[TheNicky]

You gonna flare out the back?

Any lifts?

Good stuff... question though...

What made you start there?

 

[dangerranger83]

x2 what did make you want to start there?

 

[Dakota83]

yeah i plan on buying the bedside im about half way saved up hopefuly ill get some bigger tire just after that and a lift after that...i started with the front fenders cause they were only $45

I have to say, I just read through it all and I know what you went through with the fuel pump issue... though I had EFI in the old 87.

Looks good, and I understand doing things because you have the parts to do it. Can't wait to see more updates.

 

[dangerranger83]

I understnd now. Start one the mods. you can aFORD. LOL.

 

[TheNicky]

Gotcha sounds like you got a deal then...

Good stuff... Tires then lift?

go the other way around save yourself some money...

cause once you go higher your gonna want bigger tires lol

Just my opinion?

 

[Dakota83]

im going to get tires to fill the new empty wheel wells and later on when i have some more money ill get a lift..im not getting new tires and a lift right afterwards...i was thinking about leveling springs though...whats the best brand to go with and are they easy to install?

 

[dangerranger83]

Level the front? Theres a cheap way to level the front using washers. Just stack them under the coil. Some people have even said to use hockey pucks but I would stick with the washers. Hockey pucks would be good for a cheap body lift.

 

[Dakota83]

well i have plenty of hockey pucks and no welder for the washers..Sunday I plan on buying a new starter since mine died on me and new spark plugs so i can hopefully get it running
