I won't be out for the rest of this year most likely, maybe...

I'll be down to ride and be camera man though

Same here, I'm getting stuff done, but it's taking a while. Hope to go hunting for a trans for the ST this weekend so I at least have something to drive...

well...finally made the sale final on my axle "package"

so I got a:

King Pin HP D60
D60 rear
4.88's front and rear
Detroit Tru-Trac front
Allied Rock-A-Thon 17" Beadlocks
used Irok's 39.5x13.50x17's (50-60% tread)

have amassed a few of the parts needed for the swap....gonna use leaf springs on the front...just need to source them...

got a stick of .250 wall 1.5 DOM and the 4 Heims needed for the steering...as well as a Hi-Steer arm for the passenger side knuckle....

so, I will be picking up a set of springs for the front as well as F-250 shock towers hopefully this weekend....

so things will start moving here soon....

so here is prolly the last shot of the Ranger in this condition .....

but I have access to a larger trailer now....the one I brought Fordzilla home on for RangerSVT and Jay....
