Yea, the rivets took me more than half a day. Grinding X, then air hammer and chisel/punch em out.

Brinker, where'd you get those fenders?

They're stock....with the flares blended into them

Rivets are the easiest part if one has access to an Oxy/Acet. setup with a scarfing tip.

I did all the rivets holding the coil buckets to the frame in half and hour, including time to punch out the old ones after torching, and slight wire wheel to clean it all up for a layer of rattle can.

i just got the duff arms for my ranger, the instructions seemed unclear but if your pics serve me right you just used 3 bolts on the side of the brackets and the one bolt on the bottom?
how is the ride?

Thats right, rides good, but pulls hard to the right. Yo Yo's at Firestone can't align worth a dam. Not my DD anymore, so I have not got it straightend out yet.

Thanks for clarifying yea i need to find a good shop for my truck, every one i go to the mechanic almost has a heated argument telling me that the mods i have done to my truck made it impossible to align yet they wouldnt use my adjustable bushings i specifically asked to be installed with the alignment. When i install my lift i think im just going to align myself with a tape, angle gauge, and some coil washers in hand....
anyone know a decent alignment shop in the south/central jersey area that can do it right?

I got tired of boneheaded alignment bozos who do nothing but empty your wallet decades ago... Done everything myself since then.
