well heres some updated pics of my rig, i bought her and she needed a little work done, so ive been pretty busy

the day i bought her

whatever kind of lift they had on it fawkn suckd, so i pulled it off and kept the 2" spacers and took out the double aal's from the rear. i just put some spare tires and rims off my old ranger on her for now. had alot of surface rust on the hood, and a few dents and dings so i did some body work

she didnt have any carpet when i got her, and i got tired of all the heat comming off the floorboard, and i had some rolls of carpet from when i changed the carpet out in my living room, so i cut one big piece, did some measuring, and voila! soft on the feet

hopefully ill finish the body work and desert tan this weekend, then im doing the mirrors, bumpers, grill guard flat black, and putting the repainted window trim back on
 
Looks good; I kind of like that alternating reverse two-tone on the first photo, though!
 
looks good, why carpet though? its gonna get dirty

lol i had it because i took it out of my living room, got tired of a crappy looking floorboard, plus when it gets messed up ill take it out, cut some more and be done lol...


not sure about the plans, i have all the stuff for my durapark mod, just waiting on the carb to come in(they sent the wrong one). i think im going to either leave the suspension how it is with 30x9.50 at's or 4" skyjacker with 33's. im still searching around for a good place to install gears in GA to get some prices. i do offroad, but nothing major, i like going to uwharrie, beaslys knob, went to river rock alot in my jeep, and like freeman park at the OBX. but this is my "family" rig now. i told my girl if i have to sell my ranger there is some compromises. its gotta be a Ford and its gotta be 4wd!. i believe i have a lunchbox locker in the front and l/s in the back, no matter what both front tires always spin, and its a bitch to turn in 4wd, i even raised the front tire about 2 ft off the ground and both front still spun.

i would like a 5.0 in the future but right now i just want to get the thing running good and looking good. now if i could only get the a/c workn:bawling:
 
^ Them's fightin' words!

But sounds like a plan, if I can get all my parts in and a few days off I'll be duraspark as well. I've heard Beasley's knob is pretty fun and A/C is a must in Ga. GL with it!
