Hmm, not a bad looking truck so far. And you did all the work yourself? Impressive, mate.

Hey, nice to see ya over here. Lol. Not a whole lot of progress, we moved about a hundred miles back in sept and I'm just trying to get everything situtuated. I've installed the valves and run lines. I'm putting the bed back on it to stay (hopefully) and start with the engine/trans install.

You wouldn't happen to have those frame nut clips that were used for the bed bolts do ya? My bed is lame and still uses the factory bolts and I lost all my clips...

[doorgunner]

I know he saved a ton by doing most of it himself & it looks great ("great" costs a ton + parts!)

I think I have about 500 into the four link and the watts. The dropped beams were 300 used. The front brackets were just over a hundred. The rear lift bars, upper brackets, and superpivots were about 150. I did all the work myself so I saved a ton on labor.

The compressor, tanks, valves, hose, fittings, guages and etc I have had so long that I don't remember what I paid for it. I just peck away at it a little at a time...

i like the truck man. Want to build one myself but dont have the money right now to do it

 

[TS6034]

Hey I don't have the money either! Lol. Thats why my progress is so slow. I just buy one thing at a time as I can. Just keep stockpiling the needed parts...

 

[chambiec1]

Any update on this? I still have the identical ranger... trying to decide whether to swap to 4WD or stay 2WD and bag it... would love to see how this is turning out.
