88 gone wild

So your going to rip the engine out of the donor and sell off te one that can be licenced for the road. Hopefully you make a profit plus you can part it out.

no we're not keepin the donor. we just wanted to pull the motor. so they dont wreck nothin. then they r gonna pick it up. so its in the shop now. we also have a buyer set up ready to pay soon as its done. also i might be gettin a free sled to tinker on and im goin boarding saturday so not too much happening then. tolmorrow night well start teardown. i was up til 3 last night talkin on the phone to the lady friend so im too tired too do anything today. also bux re opened! wooo!
and im pumped for this hawaii thing, less than a month left.
ok so tonight i had a chat with my uncle who thinks he can get me a sivck deal and financing for a newer ford diesel cc 4x4. like under 20grand which is dirt cheap; for here...
which means i could tear into my ranger.

So you got a buyer for your sploder, sweet. Your uncle sounds like a great guy, mines a dick. If I go anywhere for vacation I have to be able to travel there on motorcycle and the first place would be South Carolina with my dad and his friends.

BTW your next post is number 1000, make it good.

so i accidentally posted something lame for #1000 but whatever. so its my trucks time of the month again, in the shop wouldn't start, maybe needs new injectors. and the passenger side leaf pack decided to fall apart. stupid truck.
i took a picture.

Yay for unexpected repairs

Now it can be a low rider and the truck did it the cheap way. How are you planing on fixing it, just getting a used leaf pack or repair this one?

Hopefully in a week or so my dad and I will be going to the JY to get his TBI set-up and also see if I can get a track-bar for my D30 off a Jeep. This is a new to us JY and I'm told their prices are very reasonable. You get to pull the parts yourself but you have a guy that follows you and watches you to make sure your not stealing stuff and what not. My step uncle got a grill and headlight assembly for $25 from there and he still has to get more for his S-10. Other places charge $35 for just the grill.

prolly gonna get a new pack, possibly do both sides. we'll see. so i got my truck back from the shop and they said they cant tell whats goin on.
so they didn't charge me anything, and im back in action. however i dont have time to fix the spring yet so its just kinda dangerous i guess. haha
anywho ya bucks opened again so i may go dig around there soon see whats goin on.

Get a pair of springs from a exploder to give you a little lift.

2wd rear lift? no thanks. my truck rakes as it is

 

[dangerranger83]

You can put a pool in your bed then and load it with hot canadian chicks and it not have the rear end sqaut on you if you do the sploder springs.

I wouldnt be driving it at all with busted rear springs, thats what holding that there rear in your truck there. You think a tire falling off sucks wait till your rear end is gone.

mmm hot candian chicks...
anywho ya im not that bright but im gonna have to drive it until the garage is free. and the rest of the pack is still intact its not goin anywhere it just doesn't support enough weight. ill fix it soon and maybe ill throw some money at patch panels.
new paint would sure spice it up eh?
and new wheels, and tires. and engine.
maybe ill park it for a while. im planning one buying a new truck in may. not brand new but ill have a sick down payment by then. thats fo sho.
i figure by then i can put 7 grand down and should have no prob gettin 20 grand loan to buy a decently new truck (like a 05-06 f150 crew, or if i can find a nice lifted cummins...)
so im not sure where to go so we'll see

 

[dangerranger83]

I'm going to be getting cab corners soon from raybuck.com, they have like every type of replacement panel and other stuff for a Ford Ranger, Gen1 that is.
