noob in nova

[NovaRob]

Hey everyone, new to the ranger game. Just picked up this beauty for 1,200

its a '98 xt 4x4 4.0 5 speed steppie with a 4 inch super lift and 2 inch shackle lift.

when i got it, vacuum hubs wouldnt engage so i did the modification found here and it seems to be working great!

anyone else on here from nova?

I took off those fender flares and mud flaps... i think it looks much better with out.

I'm looking to replace the front bumper with something I custom fab, but could use help planning... i want to put a front hitch and winch.

Next thing to do though is get manual locking hubs instead of leaving my mod'd stock ones...

happy trails!
Rob

DAAAAAMMMNN. That is a beautiful truck! Any pplans on a build, or is it staying the way it is? Welcome to the Station Nova.

There's a few things that have to be done before the fun stuff starts like replace the manual locking hubs and replace a few parts around the torsion bars. But plan is to eventually have it up on 35s and to get it nice and wet

 

[RollinWOT]

Sounds cool man. Keep us updated.

Are those 32's...33's?

Aside from the Warn manual hubs, I think you're golden for a while. If you got the skills to weld, the sky's the limit with your Ranger.

I think it's a cleaner look without the flares, but I shouldn't say shit, since I painted mine black and put them on mine, too!

Welcome to TRS! I hope to see more of your truck here. Start a build thread, and it'll be like your online journal diary thing of your truck.

I like the nerf step bar, but the visor is not my taste. Love the color!
