lift kit???????

i wish. just my parts for my exhaust. a thrush welded muffler and a 2.5" section of exhaust pipe.

 

[phatdaddy]

the truck has really come along . It loks grrrrreat!!!!!!

 

[nate09]

well ive had the exhaust put on for some time now and im pleased to say the least. i also have my next project planned out.

also considering painting the truck (again) OD green.

 

[nate09]

finally found some time to get my new shift know knob. brought an 8 ball and drilled hole a hole in it, slid it on and used some loctite to hold it in place.

 

[nate09]

just placed my order for one of these....

 

[02RangerXLT]

Nice man, I'll definitely be following this build!

Truck looks really good, and those MT's look good on the truck!

 

[nate09]

had the ranger cleaned up for a car show i was working saturday....

and since i removed the rear sway bar a few weeks ago, some flex shots

 

[nate09]

winch showed up today. ended up working late so i couldnt pick up steel for the bumpers i wanna build, hoping tomorrow ill be able to get it and work on it all weekend. ive already posted pics of both bumper ideas.

 

[escort_gts]

Cool, I like your ideas for the bumpers. I can't wait to see them done.

 

[nate09]

got most of the bumper fab'd up. gonna drill the mounting plate tomorrow at work and get it welded on. i wanna put some thinner steel above the bumper to cover the open area but im not sure what ill use yet. winch should be mounted and operational by tomorrow. once thats complete ill be building the rear bumper. on to the pics!

stock bumper

no bumper

new bumper

with winch sitting in place

side profile

close up

steel specs:
2"x4"x .25" wall.
2"x2"x .25" wall
.25"x8"x20.5"

i know it looks kinda goofy and not how i imagined it would turn out but its stout and does what i want it to and thats all that matters to me.

 

[nate09]

got the winch installed and wired up. looks better without that hole there.

I like how its tucked up flush with the grill. How did you mount it to the frame?
