truck isn't 4x4 D:

 

[RangerSVT]

Exactly, just swap out the 2wd trans for a 4wd trans and Tcase...

[Pony]

ahhh, not sure will think about it, i was trying to take the bed out then nut bolt thing started to twist on me ill be cutting the bed off, the beds broken anyways so isn't a big deal.

hope to start doing chevy's soon but ill post small stuff just so i can work on it everyday.

 

[Pony]

Alright so i'm thinking about what i should do to the bed its all broken. should i cage it or keep it? i think caging it would be nice :3

 

[dieseldane]

Toob beds are almost always a good thing in my opinion.

 

[Pony]

ALright, this weekend will be chevy leaf springs i hope

 

[RangerSVT]

Agreed, tube it. SVT is staying full bodied, but when I start project HWW in a couple weeks, its getting tubes...


SVT

 

[Pony]

What do you think about me keeping the fenders? i think it would look pretty badass with them on, just a thought.

 

[Pony]

took sway bar off today and changed thermostat so gotta wait for my pay for chevy swap

 

[RangerSVT]

Keep the fenders, but might need to do some trimming depending on what size tires your gonna run. You planning to run the shackles in stock form, or flip em when you do the 63?


SVT

 

[Pony]

alright will do, with the shackles im going to run them stock. i dont really have much money but i wanna sell some stuff first like my bumpers lol.

Just turned my truck on radiator fluid just started flowing from where i changed my thermostat. pisses me off lol. time to redo the gasket then put it together then wait a few hours for it to dry this will be fun again.

instead of chevy leafs i might get trailing arms and start building it into a prerunner

 

[Pony]

found out my thermostat "housing" where you put the thermostat inside is bent >.> great did it 3 times to find this out oh well bye 35 bucks

 

[Pony]

Fixed the thermostat and also cleaned the seats and bedlined where your feets go in the truck. It looks ugly but hey it works pics tomorrow

Lifting VERY soon
