today i was working on getting the t case back in when my nieghbor decided to scare me... i dropped the t case on my bicept the doctor said ill be fine but not to do any heavy lifting. we will see when i get the truck ready to drive again. i did however get everything else hooked up. once back together im going to take it to get a glass pack put on as well as get the y pipe redone. i put a radio in it finaly and i think i relized why it did not have one it. it has no power to the radio. im hoping its just a fuse but otherwise ill have chck some other fun things like rewiring....yay. give me another week it will be rolling and looking good and hopfully sounding good

nice lookin truck! i like what you did with the rear fenders, it looks a lot better than cutting out a big circle

thank you. today i ordered a 3in body lift so going to look a bit bigger...
i took it out frtday and broke the flywheel. i was doing a obstical called body sop and did not know i had a rock hit the starter breaking the nose cone. how idk but i stalled it on a place called ant hill and threw the end of the starter throught the teeth of the flywheel.... going to have fun this next week.

the rancho springs are only 3in i have 2 in coil spacers will this be a bad idea to add onto it so i would have 5ins of lift

 

[1lonlyranger]

and i took it out the other day

ill have some more updates soon im going to trim the front fender and try to finish the interiour soon as well as get it ready to paint olive. lift will be in there some where.

due to school i have not been able to touch the ranger a whole lot. recenty all i have done is re due the exhaust. i did just buy a set of 33 12.50 15 bfg all terrians for 200 bucks. they have about 80 percent tread left so i get them for a steel. the problem is i dont have enoph lift. im debating on putting on the 3in rancho lift i got for it due to i hurd it breaks and i reallt want to put solid dana 44s under it. for not i will due i little fender trimming and make the tires fit even if they rub a little when i go wheeling. over my winter break i also plan to swap a ford 8.8 will 4:11 that i got for free, as well as paint and rebuild the motor atleast thats the goal.

drove it from albuquerque to gallup and back (new Mexico). i hurd a rattling noice then a big bang. turns out 170000 miles on original cats were enoph. i blew out all sorts of "precious" metals. so now i have no cats (but canisters) and no muffler. it sounds to loud and makes me mad that i have to spend money on something that does not make it go faster flex more or a better running truck...oh well good news is it should get painted this month.
