I used the brackets that came with it but I cut a 3" section out of them and then welded those pieces back together and got 3 inches I needed so that it looked right

I bet these pictures are on this site somewhere but I couldn't find them. I've had them for a couple years now. It's not mine.

It is on here in a couple places. It also made Pirate. You can probably imagine how that went if you have spent anytime over there. Good for a funny read if you have the time.

Woodlands and 03sporttrac, search the thread on posting images. There's a couple different options. Can't wait to see your trucks.

Ah thanks, I have checked that site a long time ago, forgot about it. If I remember, they do not hold back over there.

They sure don't. The other day I read a question some teenager had asked about the visual difference between a Dana 40 (I believe) and Dana 44, they let him have it for sure.

Wonder if that dually ST is still running around somewhere...

I went on there and asked a question about coil-over conversions for rangers and how difficult it would be to modify a kit for a 4x4 ranger for an ST and they basically said that an ST is a garbage truck anyway and it would be a waste of money, or I could have a "real" truck for cheaper than the kit...

its all who has the bigger schlong over there... but like someone said in an earlier post (months ago in a dif. thread) there can be some gems of info under the $h|tstorm of criticism

Mine would prolly be stock still... I joined the site and have messed with my truck To not just learn about the ST but vehicles in general... I've learned a lot and have so much more to learn I'll prolly end up doing some auto mech. Classes in the next couple summers too. And what Better way to test myself than on my own ride hahaha
