its a nice truck but runs liek shit.... i know its only a 4banger but they cant be this slow engine has alot of time sitting up on it but dunno if thats the main problem.

i mainly got it for the interior and the bodydrop cuz those are 2 things i wanted to have done to a truck before going at it...plus the bodywork helps being sorta done, but the suspension is poop mono-leafed with 2 crappy thomas comps, 3/8" air lines,2500lb front and 2600lb rear and a 1 port! 5gal tank LOL!

oh forgot no shocks up front, bounce much?!?!?
pretty much crap and outdated, so suspension is my first change....which might not start till aroudn halloween....wanna research some crap and stock up on part piles.....not to mention im moving so i dont really wanna take the truck apart and have to move it in pieces! that would be a good one lol

i'm interested in seeing this thing in person man....should be lookin really good..

Holly shit that is 555's old truck keep us posted with picz

yeah it is lol

lookin' good man, keep up the good work! let us know if we can help with any research, good luck!

lookin good... please tell me ur goin to do somethin about that horrible job of wireing...

you mean on the rearend? thats just a crapload of wires extra no clue why they were left....but the rearend is pretty much getting totally chopped off and redone plus those are the L.E.D's wires which is getting replaced by one big long one instead 2 small ones lol



i might need some fiberglass work anyways
do you work with tweed to?

sweet!..

i used to want that truck so bad...!

that truck is friggin sweet mang!

i have done some tweed work...but i'm no pro at it by any means..

here are my old door panels...


i don't know if you've really paid it any attention, but the ranger dash on my DD myspace pics, me and the owner of the truck did all the work on that dash..basically did all of his interior, except the seats...had them done by a shop..

i did all my interior stuff.... but seats... check them out on my myspace... www.myspace.com/dragginNCrds

I was talking to him today he misses it already I am trying to get him to buy one of mine. I really like the headlight conversion and how everything is color matched ever wanna sell the headlights let me know!!!!

Thanks for the pics I needed them.

cool cool ill keep yall 2 in mind for when i need ot get fiberglass and tweed done to the truck, so far its just the dash piece and the center console to redo.


heh dunno bout that one mang....i kinda dig em to unless u wanna buy one thats cloudy ;p i havenmt looked at any others yet but i dont think they make em much clearer liek the 1st gen euro-clear and the 98+ euro clear....which makes no sense if they make em for those they should for 94-97....hell maybe they do, but i plan on keeping the blazer conversion just the bumper and valance are gonna get swapped.


does anyone know what overall tire size i can run if i just cut my inners and leave the rest of the firewall tubbing till later? i know right now its 24" but id love to run a 25-25.5" wheel, ill have the 2500lbs up front for a couple more months so i cant lift way up for 20s and maintain a good ride plus i wanna be able to lay the fuk out

A 215/35/20 is 25.92" tall and a 225/30/20 is 25.31" tall, hard to tell by pics how deep your tubs are, but you'll still need some arms and do something with your booster before it's gonna lay hard on 20's...... hope that helps some brother
