Josh40601's Build Thread. (D-ranged)

[Josh40601]

well, the Ranger is in a sad state right now... I cracked two more of the alluminum rims, and the tires keep going flat. Its still covered in mud, and has an exhaust leak. I did take out the alluminum spacers from the front of the truck. The power steering pump is acting up again, and the tierod is making all kinds of noise. I guess 3 trips offroad in 3 weekends was a little too much for the ol gal.





But there is a plus side to this sob story.... New meats and rims are going on, PSC is going to rebuild the power steering pump, and going to tweak the suspension a little more. Going to pay Hellfire Fabworks in Lakeside a visit real soon. Going to get this sucker flexing like it should be.

so sad.. yet so sweet at the end.
i saw you post on other people's threads and was wondering why you aint gave us an update on yours

 

[Josh40601]

we are moving into a temp home until september so with packing, and my parents were here for my gradiation, and i have been piecing together the 71 to get it ready to sell, the Ranger has just been being used and abused. (nothing really new there) but I usually keep up with it, just trying to find a deal on tires. I have a lead on a set, but nothing set in stone yet.

 

[kris97ranger]

your selling the 71? didnt you just get that

 

[Josh40601]

yes and yes. Don't feel like shipping it home. I have enough projects. I'd like to finish one before starting another

 

[Josh40601]

bought the new tires. Going to pick them up tomorrow. Here is a teaser shot...

Old school 40" MTR's, good stuff!

 

[Josh40601]

not 40's. I'm way too hard on my truck to run 40s with a 44

 

[wahlstrom1]

Wishful thinking.... you did say you were getting a 60, lol.

 

[Josh40601]

When i get the LS in, then i will be going to 40's. 60 and 14B are first though.
