First day:

random engine bay:

the lowest she goes on 20s:

horrible site after taking bed off :(
Image

bedless:

a couple before i got it pics:
ImageImageImageImage

have u seen my fenders? :(
Image


next step:
-make final decision on suspension and new bag setup
-bed is also going to body shop to get one long L.E.D in the top part.
-20s going off and replaced by swirlies with 205/50s to lay for now :D
-replace bumper with 98+ chrome bumper and 4x4 valance
-engine swap early 2007


its a nice truck but runs liek shit.... i know its only a 4banger but they cant be this slow :P 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pretty much crap and outdated, so suspension is my first change....which might not start till aroudn halloween....wanna research some crap and stock up on part piles.....not to mention im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! :shock: that would be a good one lol

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 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..

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 :D

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
