Kyle M's Ranger Rebuild

[kris97ranger]

i always vote to keep the box. i think itd be cool to plate it like i said with 1/8" or somthing so it doesnt dent so easy. or do what im probally gonna end up doing to my buddys datsun 720 and build a skeleton underneath the bed sides outta like 1/2 square tubing or somthing. that way it may wrinkle a bit but it wont cave in

First video, working on more, and I will get pictures up in a bit of the damage.

Now, do that for 8-10 hrs straight... for 4 days! Good practise for U.A. 2012, lol.

Time for a doubler!

Pictures

I beat this side up pretty good, few new dents in the box, one big one under the rear window and the front fender

Messed up my fairlead and mount

This side I just dinked up the box a little more, thank got for my sliders, I used them a lot today.

Broke window

Drive shaft was put to the test....pass

Beat up leaf hanger

Then I noticed my leafs are getting fubared, might have to change them when I swap to tons, then install my antiwrap bar.

and here is another video, the one I really tested my truck on. I hope someone else got a better angle, this one doesn't show the rocks too well and it is long yet, not too good at editing but most of it is good.

Looks awesome in the rocks brother!!

By the way, no matter what angle someone gets you at, it won't give you ANY justice. I dunno why, but everytime we have gone out, the rocks never seem bad. They way people can tell is by the size of your tires... You're on 38's and the rocks were taller than the tires.... I'd say that's a big sum bitch!!

On another note... What PSI are you running?

Looks good... I need to get my truck running so I can possibly join you guys over on the west side...

Yeah, something about it never looks the same in pctures or video, sucks! Always seems cooler when it's happening lol

I am running right around 5 to 6. Next time I go out I am gonna run them at about 3 to 4 so they squat a little more, looks like they weren't squating and grabbing like I wanted them too.

Yeah, no kiddin!

 

[Josh40601]
