Awesome off road rig. And that's really cool that those other guys were helping you out with welding and repairs. Those are good people and I'd love to see more around.

...Now if I can figure out how to get the youtube links to work...

Nice rig, I love the pic of the truck playing on the rocks(the pic under the snow wheeling pic). What location is that?

 

[tbars]

...Thanks...That was taken in the hills above Apple Valley,(so. Cal.)

Jurassic Park !

...This is dedicated to my Project X...

Lovin' all the pics, and I took special notice to the Jurassic Park-themed explorer! I smiled when I saw it (that movie was my favorite when it first came out). I'm guessing T-Rex sold separately.

Nice flexy shots, and I like the performing MTR's. How long has it taken you to get her from stocker to this? You built her well...

...Yes, that is a jurassic vehicle next to mine..

Hey, great pics ! This is what makes the forum for me. Nice ride and thanks for sharing the progress.

....The first pic is pretty much how I found it...

...It was just a lifted daily driver that supposedly the guy blew the motor in and it had sat for almost a year...It turned out the tranny was shot and no 4wd as only the rear was regeared for 4.56...I couldn't get any info on it when I bought it so it was a project from the day I bought it...

...The repairs and upgrades that you do and don't see were done in less than a year....I had it on it's first trail run with lockers within a month or 2 of owning it..

 

[tbars]

......I just found a couple more pics to post..:thumbsup:

...This is why I run my flag up front...

 

[tbars]

...It was time to show my Ranger some love..
