86 Ranger build finaly

[n_bannerman]

So i got my 86 back in may2010 and have slowely been doing things to it. Started on 225/70R15 when i got it from my girlfriends dad then i swaped to some 235/75R15 on white steels that he had as spares then got some 31s, then 32s and now on 35s. hopefully soon it will be on a d44 and 9" if i can come up with the funding by spring time. on to the pics.

some where along the line my pic with it on 31s got deleted.

and this is almost how she sits now other then the fact i have trimmed the entire factory flare off the front and soon will be doing the rear.

Future plans are a rear bumper with integrated hitch and recovery points and a front bumper with hitch and recovery points. also would like to get some skyjacker leveling coils to bring the front end up to level again. lots to come but will be slow progress.

and here is the best pic of my bike mount with 2 bikes. i have 2 fork mounts bolted to the tool box as low as i can and will be adding a 3rd here soon so i can get both of my cross bikes and my dads cross bike in.

Well got a impact gun for Christmas and decided to test it out by finally pulling the spare tire mount off. Works freakin great!

And went to shoot my bow yesterday so here is a pic of the creek next to the flat range and my Martin fury.

So a couple weeks ago I got the back half of my radius arm bushings done, couldn't get the front pulled all the way forward with out tearing the whole thing apart. It drives so much better now! I also had the day off on Saturday so I went up and played a bit in the snow.
Here is how bad the bushings were.

Pic from saturday.

Thanks, it's a slow long build but my main wheeling is snow with lots of side hill action so a slow cog is key.

Thanks, the truck is my baby and the gf thinks I love it more then her at times. Had to get a ride in in the snow, it's base mile season to get ready for next mtb race season.
