cookiemonster's power ranger

[cookiemonster]

Kinda new to the forum....i've been lurking for awhile. Figured id start a project thread since my ranger will be under going alot of changes!

Plans for the truck;
install 3" bl
33x10.5x15
custom bumpers
rock sliders
new fogs
new wheels
leveling kit

future plans due to expenses:
6" skyjacker suspension lift
SAS....dana 30 from a jeep
35's
prerunner fenders
prerunner bedsides
warn 10,000lb winch
beadlocks
chevy leafs


Ok so ill get started on whats been done so far....

new ball joints, TRE's, u joints, trans mount, hangers and shackles, all brakes and lines, new clutch, and new batt

I had to do a seat swap...i went from buckets with center console to a solid bench....i had to swap to a bench because i have to bring my little brother to day care every once in a while and its just easier with a bench.
no pics of old interior...sorry

Picked up a roll bar for it off a buddy of mine for 30 bucks!
Cut out the bedliner to where it will be mounted and bolted it in, fog lights on it came with it but they're junk. One is missing a bulb and the other doesn't work.

Tried to paint my fender flares black because they were faded. I painted them and the white areas pulled through the paint

Ok now onto a couple of pics of the truck itself

No rust what so ever....i love it!

Any question, comments,ideas, contrustive critism is always welcome.

will be updated with leveling kit these weekend

Looks good! I would fix the lights and take some night pics

 

[cookiemonster]

Next came my 4 inch rough country lift
in the process

pitman arm that wouldn come off for the life of me!

lift installed with stock tires

got the 33's on with lots of pics, and detailed the shiz out of it!

Push bar installed

clean paint!

 

[cookiemonster]

got a new shifter knob

Try my skills at photography. (i still suck)

interior has all blue led's....everything is blue!

led reverse lights

took the roll bar out and did some wheelin

 

[cookiemonster]

traded the roll bar for a kolbalt tool box, got a set of hella's, painted the frame and took some shitty pics

Got tired of my fishing poles getting tangled up so i made a pole holder

at some point i got clear tails

some poser shots

Got the truck primed and ready for paint....but then it started to rain and haven't had enough clear days to paint yet!

then broke a spring hanger

then i bought another project

Im waiting on a couple more parts for my sas. body lift will be on in 2 weeks and hopefully will get started on my bumpers this weekend!

Wow, I have to say those clear taillights ruined it for me....

Well i got started on my bumper today!

holy hell is it alot of work, but gotta love it lol
Started out with a flat chrome rig bumper that my boss gave to me...figured that would work perfect. Thank god for the plasma cutter or i woulda been there all day!
still needs alot of work!

This is what i started with...sorry for the bad pics.

after alot of cutting and folding

Did a little bit of welding and thats where were at for now

Let me know what you guys think!

You need substantial steel bud. That just isnt gonna cut it. Get yourself some 3/16 or so.

 

[cookiemonster]
