I was lookin' at CopyKat's build, he used F-150 hangers I do believe, gave him a little bit of lift... IIRC anyway.

The things I love hearing after I already ordered the Ranger parts:icon_twisted: But looking at the BII the F-150 brackets require some mods and to be honest the Belltechs are way easier and should give me just as much payoff.

And gwaii... all you need is a small CanTire with a Tim's in it, then you would be all set:icon_thumby:

In due time buddy, but we just had to go out and hoon the Eagle. Some kids do drugs, but destroying cars is our high.

if they can put mc D's in wallmart,why not....but it would be a real small one as the total population of the islands(combining all 6 major communities,as well as the minor ones)is about 5000 souls,plus one or two without souls,so it would probably take them about a thousand years to recoup their investment.oh,well...guess i'll just have to settle for the occasional off island excursion-and mail order.:icon_thumby:

Sorry for the thread jack, but in all honesty I'd never even heard of that island until I searched it on Google Maps because of you, gwaii. Haha, jeepers!

I mean, I have only lived in BC for 2 1/2 years now, but still. It looks like a cool little area to go for a vacation, in my opinion!

Sorry again Mike, but I just find this fascinating! lol

Heading over to NAPA some time soon to get all the front end stuff I can't get from work. Going with the welded washer leveling kit and adjustable camber bushings.

So what I acomplished today...

-Ordered my front end stuff from NAPA
-Getting some proper mirror glass made up
-Painted my front bumper

Pics of the bumper:





I am trying to find some washers to make spacer's but can't find any in my town. To all of you that did the washer mod, where did you get them from? And what size did you use?

Ahh good man! If you ever sell your truck the next guys gunna think "wtf? who's Brittney?" if he ever takes the tail lights out.
Yeah, I better never let a tail light be out when I bring it into work or I am going to have some serious explaining to do with the guys in the shop:icon_rofl:
