PreRunner Checklist

[MastuhWaffles]

So, I want to turn my truck into a pre runner, but still retain the DD aspect, so I've created a checklist of the stuff I need. If anyone has input let me know!
This is what I plan to do soon
Tube front bumper
Tube rear bumper
Long travel front suspension
Rear deaver springs
New shocks
Bed bars
4 aux lights
Skid plate
Limited slip
Tire swing gate
Spare tire
Now the later ones I plan to do
Supercharger
Fiberglass
Racing seats
Manual transmission
Any thing else I should think about getting?

Almost guarantee you will need fiberglass for the front when you do the long travel or else you will destroy your stock fenders

 

[Jsommers]

Fenders should be higher on the priorities list

 

[MastuhWaffles]

That's probably a good idea lol.

 

[Snal]

what kind of budget are you working with?

 

[MastuhWaffles]

I'd like to keep it under 10 grand if possible.

What are bed bars? Do they serve whiskey?

What year is your truck? Has a lot to do with how much you'll be spending. Are we talking high dollar whore or a dirty hooker.

I mean, they could... There the bars you see in the bed that the lights sit on, the one bar wraps around the rear window with kickers going to the bed. I have an 07, so, it's pretty new.

Well for the rear shocks you'll probably have to run a bed cage. Unless you choose to retain all of your bed space and cantilever the rear that will cost quite a bit more though and IMO doesn't handle quite as well I've riden in both styles with deavers. Here is a bolt in bedcage I built for my ranger before I decided to go full kill and ditch the bed.

a cantilever set up can handle just as well as a bed cage set up, it's all shock tuning.

I'm getting my stuff from dixon bro's.

I've drawn up some designs for my front bumper. Now I need to put my fabrication skills to the test

 

[A-Swizzl]

How are those bumpers coming along?!

I've riden in quite a few cantilever trucks and helped tune a few as well IMO you just can't beat a well set up pair of bypasses off the spring plates.
