Hi all,
I have lurked this website for over 4 years now. this community has given me the knowledge and know-how to acquire and dive right in to two different RBV builds. Knowing how much this community has given to me I have decided to join and try to give back what i can.

To introduce myself, my names Jeremy and I work in the Oil & Gas industry. Im located in Southeastern Ohio and have been here all my life.

And now on to my babies.

1987 Bronco II XLT - Came from Greensboro, North Carolina. I can tell you ya'll more on the story of aquiring it if youre interested. Interiors pretty good shape, exteriors in good shape, paint...not so much. So far i have put a battery in it(my fault), an 8.8 and Dana 35 from a 91 explorer, Dana 35 "Jeep" hubs, a Skyjacker Class II 4" lift on it, and Bilstein shocks. Other odds and ends are on the list along with some fresh paint.

Im currently looking for a 4.10 Dana 35 pumpkin and a factory chrome Bronco II rear bumper so if you have one or know where one is let me know!

2003 Ranger FX4 Level II - Came from central Ohio. This was my first RBV project. Its a twin-stick, 4.0 truck and I have put a Superlift 4" kit on it along with Fox 6.5" Coilovers, Eibach Coils, and an explorer front driveshaft with a flange adaptor. The rear has Deaver F31 leaf springs, Bilstein shocks and and Ruffstuff U-Bolts and Spring Plates. I decided to run 295/70R17 Nitto Terra Grapplers and Method Race Wheels The Standard in a 17x9 flavor. I was originally skeptical about the tire choice but once they were on I loved them. It also has some radio upgrades.

Im gonna have to put pictures up later on tonight. Lost my most recent pics somehow :icon_confused: so old ones will have to do.

So thats my story and I look forward to seein ya'll out there.

Howdy and welcome to TRS!

Where's the pics??
 
Hey sorry about that! I got caught up in holiday prep.

First Picture is the day i bought the ranger, about to start the journey home. Second is a small park we stopped at on the way home. Third is at the end of the cosmetic transformation, before the suspension work. Chrome bumpers were ditched for painted, black plastic trim was repainted satin. And the last is the bronco about to go under the knife.

I dont have any pictures of either vehicle in their current state. Next time i get a good day and the trucks arent as dirty ill get some for yall.
