Well im doing a build that just goes over time so heres some progress pics and whats been done.

About a week and a half ago me and my buddy kyle took a adventure out to hillsville pa. A old abandon quarry with TONS of trails around it and a big ass quarry to fish and swim in. Here are some pics from there.

Who said 2wd cant go in mud?

What part of the state are you from?

 

[93 Ohio Ranger]

Im actually in ohio over the boarder in youngstown. But hillsville is 5 mins from ohio.

 

[93 Ohio Ranger]

How would i put coil spring spacers on the front? The ones auto zone has? compress spring down and put it on the top?

[93 Ohio Ranger]

Thanks dude!!! your trucks badass.

Well im going out to the garage in 10 mins to do the following.

Hook up sun pro temp gauge.
Cut front fenders.
Button everything in the interior up.
Cut pass side bracket off and bolt them up.
Bolt gas tank in.

And than i need leaf springs and my coil spacers and get it done before friday night.

 

[93 Ohio Ranger]

Ignore my retarded friends hahaha.

Well i got the leaf bracket and other leaf off.

Picking up some explorer leafs,coil spring spacers and a compressor up tomorrow hopefully.

 

[93 Ohio Ranger]

Well i didnt get it done. Just got a job again and hopefully getting another so ill be working 2 jobs and going to high school so it will be a fun senior year.

Im doing the chevy 63in leaf swap. Getting money together for leaves. So it will ride jacked up in the back for a while till i get money for a rough country kit.

Still need to do work on it.

Can anyone photoshop the pic of it thats a clean blue one and make it army green? Its paint is not as clean as it seems and it needs cab corners and a rust spot on hood fixed.

63 in swap?

Cerwin-Vega 5x7's for the front.
Pioneer 6x8's for the rear.
Cherry Bomb Glasspack.
2-1/4 Turndown.
Sony 10' shallow mount in a box.
14g speaker wire and parts to rewire.
Bedliner for the floor.
Grill.
Taillight.
Console
Headliner and visors.
New leaf spring hangers for front right and left.

need a few things in that list....


so...150 coils and e350 arms with relocated radius arm brackets to go with the 63 swap and 32's would be a good step...with maybe a drop pitman arm or some stonecrusher steering

Hangers blow major crap.

But im hoping to gather some parts this week.

 

[93 Ohio Ranger]

Well im waitng to get paid to buy stuff. Just going with explorer leaf springs for now. Im tempted to put my 32's on the front once its done to see if they will rub awfull.

Trucks also been getting a little bit of paint

Flat army green,coming out smooth as hell.

 

[93 Ohio Ranger]

No love guys? Also how do you think stuffing 32's stock will go?
