Project New Direction

[funinthemud]

Ok so i got bored with my old build cuz it was taking me too long. I came across this so i decided to go another route. $1,500 for an 03 4x4 couldn't pass it up.

Here is the link to the old thread. still the same idea just a reg cab instead of an xcab. and i'm going to do a flat/tube bed.

got a lot done the past couple of days. she may be ready very soon.

waiting on the pitman arm to finish up the steering and axle placement then its all easy stuff!

i flipped the chevy rear spring around to bring the rear in closer so i could use the stock drive shaft. worked perfectly.

put all 4 tires on and pulled it out of the garage.
all thats left
weld track bar mount
finish steering
bleed brakes
fix body
hook up e-brakes
get new windshield
make bed/rollbar

 

[kris97ranger]

looks good. gotta ask though wheres the bed? and it seems you have a small hole in the cab corner

 

[92xplorer4x4]

very nice and great work

 

[funinthemud]

the hole is the repair i have to make. the truck was wrecked when i bought it clear down the drivers side. i tried pulling it out but it was way to bad. i have a panel from another truck i'm gonna patch in.

The bed is gonna be a custom build bed out of DOM and Aluminum. this is kinda the idea i drew up. the black is the inside wheel well. the DOM will be behind the aluminum panels. up in the corner is the rear i'm gonna use LED trailer lights and incorporate a hitch into it.
