Just got my new steps from Carr their Stainless Steel tube and real solid, I mounted them tonight but it was too dark for photos so before i started the install i took these, I saved them in a folder titled "Orange I Happy" it was sunny and 78 today!

 

Looking sharp, gives me some ideas......

 

Beautiful truck. There's some sort of abysmal blob eating your rear bumper though. I'd get that off of there before it eats your whole truck!

 

What kind of ideas? I'm at your service, I owe ya one

 

I think thats the ol "let me hide my lisence plate trick", not to sure why folks feel the need to do that? Anyone have a idea?

 

It's supposed to be so nobody can get your number, run your tag, then find out where you live so they can steal your truck. It doesn't matter for you or I Rich. We'd just bury the person that tried in the back yard. I know none of my neighbors would say anything, and nobody would even hear their screams where you live!

 

Realy nice truck and the rear bumper look great to

 

I have the stuff to give my truck the stance and look your truck has, just sadly not the time....

Yours has a 6" lift and 39.5's right?

 

Yeah, 6" suspension only. I got a good deal on Skyjackers setup new springs, shocks and hardware on all four corners and it's every bit of 6" if not more. It does reuse the rear factory blocks. Also installed a dual steering stabilizer. I needed to add 2" to my front driveshaft and had to run a drop pitman arm, an adjustable angled drag link which i had to shorten and last a spacer block between the knuckle and the steering arm and goes down the road straight, no shake and for a lifted truck it corners like a slot car! (We have all had slot cars right?)
FYI my problem is the flip side of yours, I got a shop full of stuff and i retired early BTW Sweet looking truck!

 

I have all that above and a double front shock kit (didn't use it), and steel braided brake lines, but no steering arm block.

Got it and put it on my red mud truck quite a while back and then got the blue truck later on and the thought of swapping it all out is not a great one, plus I am really busy at work, I mean BUSY.

I have in my tire barn, everything from 35's, 36's to 39.5, a brand new set of Denman 17/40's Hawgs and some 44's and a 4 set of 8" springs setting in the parts yard for the "frame".

And 2 D60's setting around, one for ol red and one that stays under the "framer" project (not my work on the front of the frame, its the PO hack job). I have more projects than time......

Oh and I retired from my first gig in 2006.....thanks I am digging the blue one too.

 

You know they have medication for people like us
What kind of work?

 

Love that orange thing. That is what my Highboy will look like except having the explorer stickers

 

I'm jealous of your weather down there! I had to cancel a 100 mile trip to look at another dent today... my buddy didn't want to drive through a "snow storm." Oh jeeze, a little bit of snow and a little bit of wind and it's the end of the world! :P

But in all reality, it was single digits and blizzarding pretty good. Class got out early because (I quote my instructor on this one) "I don't want you guys getting in any accidents." Little too late for that! Haha, 2wd Rangers don't like wet grass, let alone ice!

 

Don't be jealous your time will come just work hard! 100 miles in a storm driving a dent to go buy another sounds fun!

 

Yeah I know. Another year of blizzards and I'll be free to move wherever! And I wish I was driving my dent down there to get it. All I have here in WI is my little 2wd Ranger. That's the part my friend was sketched out about. I told him that he could drive the dent back because I know how to keep the Ranger in a straight line, but he still refused. College kids, I tell ya! Haha.
