Thought I would put the finished truck on the front page.



basically this is going to be a suspension swap from my 93' ranger

so here is what i accomplished tonight after work



got the axle and all the stock brackets out of the way. Now I need to get the axle and suspension out of the ranger to transplant it.

I thought I would roll one of the tires under it to see what it will look like.



The truck should sit about 3-4 inches higher when the suspension is under it.

Well now I have a wife and a 2 year old and it won't be long until I'm going to need a back seat for wheelin with the little one.

Ok now here is what I got done tonight.

I got the ranger striped of its front suspension and axle.



And here is what I got harvested to put on the Navajo.



So hopefully tommorow I will get time to start putting some of this stuff back together.

Hey Man, you should do the blinker mod to the side markers and get rid of those little blinkers. I just did it to my Navajo frontend on my B2 and it works great! Took all of 20 minutes to do.

almost done, when i first put the rear axle under the Navajo, I decided to try using the 2.5" blocks but soon discovered that the rear was then 3in taller than the front. Pulled the blocks out and got new u-bolts and here is how it turned out. I just need to make an upper shock mount crossmember to use my skyjacker shocks.
