Pretty good actually, no leaks at all. Luckily I'm in a no-flood zone, surrounded by flood zones. So worse case scenario I get cut off from the rest of the known world. I did take the tonneau cover off the DAY before it started raining and now I'm waiting for it to stop so I can put it back on lol.

I'm in the market for a black stepside cap. Maybe someone will bite on a trade for my Ranger cap.

Got a lead on a guy with a 231HD transfer case. I'm about 90% sure that this is a direct bolt on for my truck, to make it manual 4x4. I have to do some more research on it though.

I'd also like to get some manual hubs, but I haven't seen much about that either..

 

[koda6966]

Got some little stuff done. Changed the stereo out for my trusty pioneer. Had to get a sosche kit not only to mount it up but also to attach the antenna. Gotta love GM. (Sarcasm)

I also finished the instal on my LED's now that I managed to get my switch mounted up. Pics to come! I have to wait for a day when it's dark out and I'm not tired as hell from work.

I'm also waiting on word about a parts truck, and considering something that has a little bit to do with this right here..

Only a consideration at the moment.

Parts truck was an INSANE deal but I had to pass it up. It was a southern PA truck so it had very limited rust. It was a 2.2liter with a 5 speed, 2wd. Had 180k on it.

My uncle said it was running bad when he parked it, and after sitting for roughly three years it started up fine. Ran GREAT until you hit the gas, then it bogged down. Clogged cat? I dunno. Definitely fixable though. I had to pass it up because I don't have the room, time, or money for it right now.

I'm gonna be kicking myself for letting it slide.

 

[koda6966]

Took some pictures before my trip to PA and one after.

And after.

I need fender flares damnit!

Anyway, I don't think I ever uploaded pictures of the new grill but the one above is it. It's off a blazer, this is the old grill here.

Minor differences, I know. But I like it. I originally bought it for the emblem. lol.

 

[koda6966]

Selling it. I want another blue oval, with more leg room!

[RangerFabWorks]

how much?

 

[koda6966]

4k. Person looked at it today and is going to come back on Monday to do the paperwork.

Of course between now and then they could back out on the deal, which will require some ass kicking.

 

[4.0B2]

if you give me 4k, i'll come pick it up for you...! lol

 

[koda6966]

lol.

I started at 5k if that makes you feel any better. I let them talk me down to four.

I fully explained in elaborate detail everything that it needs. They think 4k is a fair price for it and I'm not going to argue lol.

 

[4.0B2]

i wouldn't either... lol
