    rubber flooring?????

    acc makes aa really nice thick rubber flooring. you should be able to get it through stockinteriors.com i have dealt them with a dozen times and the acc stuff is really nice. install it outside on summer day, or get it warm first. its very stiff when cold.

    Bodydrop, looking for more info

    i was in the same boat you are when i did my body drop. i basically just gutted the interior and then cut out the floor close the sill seam, and right through the middle of the fire wall and back wall and just overlapped them. only thing i recommend, and i am not sure why i did it this way now...

    Fresh Paint = Spider Cracks, Why? HELP!

    these guys are right too many coats of any material layed to quickly and thickly on each other the solvents have no where to go the paint lifts or cracks apart when the solvents come out of it. more flash time next time and your fine to go once that material has been stripped off.

    I think she may be totalled...

    yeah it looks to be totaled.. but nothing is saying it cant ever be right again. i put frames under trucks and fix "totaled" cars and truck all the time at work. insurance companies don't total something like that based on safety concerns its all dollar figures to them. but that expo is easily...

    Got the truck back from Maaco. Tell me what you think

    i agree with MONMIX. to small to pick a maaco paint job apart. they can do some good "5 foot" work but once you get up on them most look like crap. would like to see some better pictures of your truck

    The Lowest Explorer Pic Thread!!!!

    that setup looks good for an ibeam truck..my only problem with them is i know it took me at least three different setups on my truck to get it right and that was after reading what others had done too...but with say a torsion bar or s-10 suspension you can practically bag one of those with your...

    The Lowest Explorer Pic Thread!!!!

    my only problem with ibeams is that even though you can get close its very hard to get the bag to inflate and deflate with the end plates parallell, or at least staying something that looks healthy for the bag. i know most companies say you can have so much deflection and the end plates can be...

    The Lowest Explorer Pic Thread!!!!

    and im pretty sure that yes even though rangers are easy... i wouldn't say an expo is any harder to lay out it just involves a lil more and takes a lil longer usually. and i beams can kiss my ass ill chop up 98 and up suspension all day before i mess with i beams again. one day my ex is goin...

    The Lowest Explorer Pic Thread!!!!

    i worked on that chopped prostreeted x at the interior shop i worked at for a while..the truck is def cool but at the time it had a lot of little things wrong with it that that just seemed like stupid oversights. and if i remember correctly it had to be painted at least twice maybe more due to...

    Only Bagged Rangers and Explorers!!!!! Lets see who is King Of Tuck.

    low x.....does it sit that low just on the suspension mods or was your truck body dropped either stock floor or conventional. i love my ranger and would hate to cut up my daily but dont want to body drop it, but if your sits like that only on suspension and minor frame mods i may have to rethink...
