Nice Truck! Where in MI are you from?

Thought I would post these in here too, these were taken right after I got the truck.

Hauling the replacement motor for my Focus back from Milwaukee.

And for you Canadian guys, here's me, my mom, and my Dad with RedGreen.

Wrapping the strap around the oil filter eh? Solid plan.

And for you Canadian guys, here's me, my mom, and my Dad with RedGreen.

Red Green! That's awesome!

red green is a god among rednecks. hes like friggin davinci with duct tape!

 

[trailbikerider]

Red Green FTW!

Decided not to do a lift in the rear, but I still may level the front end out. Don't want to deal with all of the rusty shit on my truck, and spending $50-$60 just in hardware, plus the cost of new shocks. So all I did, was purchase a set of 4 Monroe shocks on Rock Auto for $75 shipped. They are much needed, mine are the originals and in rough shape.

Bumping this thread up. I got my car back on the road and have been enjoying that. I was debating picking up a 4x4 Valance and fog lights for this. Any idea where I can get one cheapest?

Certifit, they are 16 bucks if i remember correctly.

I saw that in somebody's build thread, but I checked their website and the valance wasn't listed.

Just a check up an ya thread...Wheres the lift? lol

Need some track bars and a locker and possibly gears in the back dude, be doin good then..

And awesome pic on red green, use to watch it alot on PBS when i lived in FL

I decided against it. I just drive it in the winter, so I don't really need to lift it, lol. I threw a set of 4 new Monroe shocks on it this winter.

Well, that's no fun but understandable, Still need a A LSD or locker in the rear though...


Oh and For the 4x4 valence, I got mine from partgeek, it was about 22.56 with shipping and handling, that was the best price I found

Bringing this back from the dead! Done a few things since I last posted. It's got a 4x4 Valance, and I'm about to install my 55W Pro-Comp foglights. Currently fabbing up a bracket for them, and the truck is already wired. I just threw the snow tires on the other day, as we're about to get possibly up to 9" of snow tonight. I am debating about painting the wheels, as one winter has about ruined them...

Excuse the pictures, I don't have a camera so I'm using my phone.

The brackets

Where I have the switch mounted
