Morgan's 2004 Ford Ranger Build

[Kevery]

Safety glasses hommie.
Trust me, it is not a pleasurable experience having metal removed from your eye.

I almost went blind last year from doing the exact same thing. I now have a perminate rust mark on my right eyeball. fun times.

Did you go to the doctor? They usually drill the rust out.

 

[Kevery]

nope! its a reminder to use my safety glasses lol. they got the metal out it just left a mark.

playing with a new camera yesterday on my long drive home from work..

 

[2004xlmiller]

stopped in at ruffstuff specialties and only wanted to get some D ring mounts. theyve got so much cool shit.. i immidietly went into shut up and take my money mode and ended up leaving with some strap mounts, the D ring mounts and a ruffstuff 8.8 cover.

the cover, total beefcake. literally bulletproof.

also earlier in the day i picked up that rear bumper for $20. guy that sold it to me was chill, had a sweet ranger (first gen) dove tailed and SAS'd on D44s, leaf sprung on 37s. right after hitting ruffstuff, went over to a buddys and had him weld them on while i worked in my straps. one side is strapped the other feels neglected.

still gotta paint it, get my own D rings cause i borrowed thiis one for my trip. gotta make a license plate mount with a light as well.

How much was that diff cover?

 

[2004xlmiller]

idk, theyre usually like 120-130 i think. but with the discounts i got outta there with all those goodies for like $123.

 

[Ford78]

I like that rear bumper!! its about what i wand to do for the rear of mine.

 

[2004xlmiller]

little update.. scored some fully boxed shackles (mig'd)
