the slo-vo build thread...

[kryptonitecb]

I have a few pics on photobucket I'll link when I get home. No he didn't push the radius arms forward just cut and lengthened them. And did a good job imo. I believe it was a 3" drop bracket up front with the 63" springs rear. Pete did you get my text? Just getting anxious to get a box at my door so I can go out and break more stuff lol.

The radius arms are James duff, and yes from stock the front was pushed an inch forward.

The front was all James duff level 2 2.5 lift.

Glad to see this thread get some action. You gonna keep us post on updates for the Ranger? Here or a new thread?

 

[kryptonitecb]

Well I probably should start a new thread but since I'm lazy and all....

Here are a few pics of the new wheels:

I didn't get as many pictures as I planned on when I was assembling the wheels but here are a few that you can use to get an idea on how they go together:

And here are a few from the 8.8 disk swap. The funny looking guy with the welder is Trent. He has a Toyota Landcruiser and like all people with welders he's good to have around.

Parts are all from ruffstuff, and I will recommend them everyday for any application. The owner is a great guy and if you ever have a question about there stuff give him a call(yes he will talk to you on the phone if you ask for him).

Of course I had to add a little bling while I was at it.

And of course with every fairy tale comes some bad news.

To make it worse that is my bosses car. Plus the bumper slovo made worked exactly as it should and I only had a cracked turn signal. On the bright side the parking brake works now and the truck is completely street legal. I will be getting Navy Veteran plates some time this week.

One more thing that I did was add extra turn signals. On the ride back from buying the truck my buddy in the car behind me said the turn signals weren't very bright. Also in Texas to be more street legal you are required to have turn signal that shine on the side of the vehicle as well as the front and rear. So with a bit of ingenuity and around $10 I went to work and came up with this:

I have a few more pic's in my photobucket

Sorry guys but I'm not cool enough to have friends that will stop driving so they can take action shots for me. They only laugh when I break something and stop to help after it breaks.

i think you should post all the pics up in your own build thread...
people may get confused and think Slo got his truck back..

heck, i should have bought it......

 

[kryptonitecb]

He did say he wanted it back.

Alright I'll have to finally dig in and move all the posts to my own thread.

As for my bosses car, I work at my school and after grabbing lunch a week after I bought it I parked the truck threw it in gear(so I thought) and ran inside to start my shift. A little while later one of the campus cops comes in the building looking for me. He tells me that there has been an incident with my vehicle. I was freaking out thinking someone had hit and run on the truck that I just bought. Well when I started walking over to it I found it wasn't the case. Somehow it rolled down the slight incline of the parking lot and had enough speed to get a good hit on her car. What made it worse was the little points you put on the ends of the bumper dug into the car as I tried to back it up nice and slow. After that I started carrying the el cheapo plastic wheel chocks they sell at harbor freight. Luckily my boss wasn't all that pissed at me and we had a good laugh about it during my performance review.
