since when do you have a sun roof?

also what size tires are those?

Since I bought it. I've got pop out side windows too, but no rear slider.

And I think the tires are uh... ... ... 235-75R15's? I dunno. I'll have to go check sometime. When I sold it there was a set of bald 235-70R15's on it and the new owner replaced them right before I bought it back. I think he went to the 75's.

jealous, and im thinking of getting those tires i think they are 75's. do they clear good any room to go bigger? we essentially have the same truck so i was just wondering.

There's a little bit of room left. But I have a leveling kit installed so it gives me a bit more space to work with. I'm also swapping in a 4x4 stock block soon so that's gonna boost the back up a bit. I'm looking for a 4" front setup for my truck so I can do a little more with the back and then hopefully I'll be rolling on 31's or something bigger.

looks good with that bed cap man.

 

[That Baker Guy]

that sounds good, hopefully with those tires ill have enough room so they wont rub. just checkin and it does look good. good luck man.

Since we had an awesome 80 degrees here, I decided to get some painting done. It's funny to think that it snowed last week...

Masked off the cap for painting.

Rattle canned it gloss black and threw on a layer of clear to try to protect it.

I also painted this leer emblem red, no photos of the after but I'll get around to it.

Somewhere back in this thead are photos that show my rust spots on each corner and along the rail of my bed. I got out a wire wheel and cleaned it off, then repainted.

And I put my hitch on. I've never been so sore from drilling two holes in my life. Plus I had to grind down a bumper bolt to fit this in there.

Thought I would show the current state of the parts truck. Right now I'm working on getting the leafs off for a friend of mine and getting the hinges off for a member on here. Can't figure out those damn hinges though.

Since I was already covered in paint I threw some red onto the fender I'm using from the parts truck. No worries about the overspray on the flare I'm doing that in black tomorrow morning.

I would also like to take the time in this post to let you all know that I am engaged, this lucky lady managed to snag my heart. Mostly because she loves my ranger! Haha.

Just compiled a "shopping list" for the junkyard thursday, I'm heading down with a friend who's hoping to get some P71 parts for his civilian crown vic so I'll have someone to help me carry stuff (if he's not feeling lazy).

The list is as follows..
Explorer Center Console w/ Cupholders.
Explorer Leather seats OR Escort GT seats (or another halo style bucket)
1979 F series door panels.
Ford 3.0 Exhaust Manifold.
160k or so Cluster with RPM gauge.
Explorer cargo rack.
Ford 3.0 Power Steering Pump.

All in all that's about $130 worth of junk. Hopefully they don't screw me on the seats and charge for the track, head rest, base, etc like I watched them do to some guy who was arguing about prices. Usually when I go there though they charge me for the main item, I bought a door with a friend and someone two guys ahead of us was charged nearly $100 part by part while we were just charged 15 for the door.

Remasked off that fender to paint the flare.

Sprayed with gloss black and some clear.

The finished product.

Snapped a photo of my truck at the local Chinese place behind a 2nd gen. I think they're a member here because I know I've seen it before somewhere..

Also had a few boxes of goodies come in today! Purple hornies glasspack, Magnaflow cat, some new lug nuts and studs for the new axle, and a... gas cap. Added the gas cap to get free shipping on the lug stuff lol.

 

[Boggin]

sweet. how much was the cat?

 

[koda6966]

I think it was like 80 USD. Can't quite remember though.
