89 Ford Ranger SAS

[FordRanger89]

Congrats on OTOTM! I love your truck. Wish mine was to the point of completion so I could thrash on it! Also wish I lived in the vacinity of such high caliber trails as the Rubicon. You ever though about running long arms, either extending the factory arms or geting a set of Duff's?

I was planing on extending my factory arms and adding Johnny joints, but I don't know when I will ever get to that point. I want to build my 9", do a 4.0 swap, build a doubler, and add hydro assist first. So, it is on the list of stuff to do but probably not for a while..... If still flexes like a champ though.

I am in college right now and will be for another 3 years..... My plan is to get all that stuff done within the next three years, but we will see how that goes. Money is kind of tight.

On a side note. I got accepted into the nursing program at OIT in Oregon. I was 1 of 16 out of about 100 applicants! There is only one other guy ahahah

Haha ya you would thinking it would be pretty easy to find a girlfriend. The ratio is like 50 to 1 in a hospital.

All my buddies are heep fans too.... but I was the one pulling them through the rubicon

Y? b/c there are too many to choose from??

haha but if your thinking it's because they are bating for the wrong team, I disagree. I have yet to meet a gay nurse.

I am going the nursing rout, because I need two years field experience to get into PA school.

 

[kris97ranger]

No no i dont mean that my uncle is actually a nurse. I meant he isnt finding girls because he bought a rubicon

O okay I got ya. I am just so used to people giving me crap about wanting to be a nurse I just assumed that's what you meant....

I totally agree with you.

So your keeping the ford radius arm bushings?

yes, just building the brackets for the radius arms. I extended my stock radius arms 2 feet.

Do me a favor since you have your main leaves so accessible.

Measure them eye-eye following the arch please...

With the leaf pack separated, from eye-eye, and following the arch it was right at 64".
Was that all you needed?
