Im Back!! and motivated

[84projectFORD]

Whats up guys! been a long time since i got back on here and made any sort of progress lol. Been busy doin stuff to my diesel makin it faster, damn stuff is like doin cocain just more expensive! I also finally moved back down to phoenix and got a much better payin job to pay for my damn exspensive hobbies . This also makes me about 10 min away from the ranger instead of 200 miles away so things should move a bit faster. oh and alden, i still got your axle and gears incase your were wonderin, should have some time comin up to put those in

figured id move my suspension progress here but for those who wanna see the begining here is a link back http://www.therangerstation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21854&highlight=project+prerunner

well down to what ive got goin on. I got all the heims for my beams and swing set steering heims, but waitin on the chromoly tie rods form dave so i can finally get the front end together. then i jsut gotta find a decent fuel cell so i can start makin the cage. Ill be ordering RadFlow tripple bypasses form dave as well for the rear and then i just have to rebuild the 9". Took me long enough to get back into her but should start movin along

1 1/4" heims on the left and 7/8" heims on the right. these bad boys shouldnt break

haha if it were my place that would be fine with me but its my dads and i dont think he'd want that jsut sittin there lol. why cant you do it in your garage? puttin the locker in is piece of cake and everything esle is relitivly easy. your 4.0 is pretty much plug and play unlike mine lol

Welcome back. Looking forward to the completion of your build.

thanks quasi. i see yours has come along nicely!

O man I was just thinking I needed to call you and see when you wanted me to come pick up my crap. Do you still have the 44 beams laying around. I have been thinking of taking them down to havasu(sp) and get them c&t while i was at the lake.
Also we need to take your dads toy out the trailer and hit Glamis see what that little chevy will put out.
O ya Tittes and beer racing is back bitches

 

[spdcrazy]

locker i could prob do in my garage, but i need to red do the body mount so i can run the 64in chebby's. and that takes a welder and more skillz than i think i possess. not to mention the 8.8 brackets that i need to change, and pinion angle i need to set.

it wont be sitting for long. i want to do it in stages. so if your down, i'll come over this week or weekend and whip that rear end in shape?!?!?! joe seems to be more and more busy.

4.0 i'll prob do myself in the garage with some phone calls to you

i missed your truck. she is a big inspiration. welcome back

Thanks boggin, i really missed bein able to post stuff up on here about the progress with the truck! i got some new plans for some things i wanna change on the ranger so ya'll will see very soon!!!

 

[spdcrazy]

no worries man. austin is gonna weld everything up on sat. i figure if joe is to busy, and so are you. then F it. i'll just do it myself! haha

good luck with the RZR. and i'm curious to see what the changes to the ranger will be!

if ya ever wanna sell those front fenders, let me know!

 

[dave@threat]

Now you need to sell your 64" kit to some leaf loving tree hugger and link it with one of my 3 or 4-link kits. Did you know they cost less then those stupid tree inspired thingys you have?

haha i agree but i aint got the 3k for the radflows i want. hell i still gotta get those bypasses for the rear from you! lol. Trust me though, your link kit is at the top of the list for "must do upgrades" along with back halfing the truck.

BTW dave, know any good driveline shops i can get a d-shaft for my truck from that can pu ta M50D yoke on the front and u-joint setup for the 9" rear?

 

[84projectFORD]

damn it! steering rod didnt show up today so i cant really start doin the front end as it has my 1 1/4 misalignment spacers . i could technically pull it apart but it will be in the detach and the papa wont like that his motorhome has to sit outside while im waitin for parts next week lol. oh well, hurry up and wait i guess!
