whoops into a project

[Black Goblin]

yea, i usd a cheapo bedliner so it did not turn out the best, i have noticed that it is starting to chip/ peel away from the edges. Where did you have in mind to wheel at?

Well I was thinking about going tomorrow to check out the Proctor Valley place to see if it was any good to go to this weekend. I can't really wheel untill sat or sun so I have the moeny for gas.
i went out past your way and headed east of Alpine and found a couple of fire roads off the main road out there. I kinda want to go out to octillo wells but I have to find some time to do that.

Is that section under the grille/lights off an F150? It seems to look different than a stock one...

 

[FROADER]

Looks stock to me.

 

[exploder619]

it is off a 91-92 explorer, mine is a 93 so it does look a little bit different. How does the bumper look? I had to cut like 5-7 inches off each side. it provides plenty of room for like 6 inch lights on just the bumper.

 

[pope_face]

Looks pretty good... now you just need to get the lights on there in the center...

 

[exploder619]

yea, i cannot wait to get the lights hooked up, i found 4 for 30 bucks at the local swapmeet.

i might be cutting off the bumper from the trim piece down, it looks freally big and bulky. Also i think this will free up some room for the tow hooks i am going to put in. Total iw ill be installing 4, 2 front, 2 rear. they will be welded and bolted on. Lmk what you guys think.

That bumper is from a 94 and newer ranger that is why it didn't fit right. The guy that we got the parts from has a bumper that ill fit your truck. It is laying on the ground right next to the truck. I was up there today. It is in ok condition.

P.S. I know how to do body work really well too so if you want/need any help without using a lot of bondo let me know and I will help you out as much as I can.

 

[exploder619]

yeah that guys wants like 60 for that bumper. i looked at it when i went up there, it is a spotted rusty chrome one right? i dont know what i am going to do with that fender, i mean that is a lot of bondo. the only reason i have that 94 ranger bumper is that i got it free.

ok so i did not get my lights today because i did not go pick them up, however i have been working on some side projects. First i went and bought the stuff to hook up my power seats. I had a 4gauge power wire and a 8 guage power wire already ran in my car for the audio system. So i put a distribution block on the 4 guage for my audio and a distribution block on my 8 guage for the seats. here is a list of parts i bought:

2 rolls of electrical tapes-$1.50
2 sets of bussman fuse holder-$2.46
5pack of 20 amp fuses-$1.56
2 distribtution blocks-$10

so hooking the seats up only cost me around 15 bucks, not bad.

next my step brother got a new sub so he gave me his 2 older pioneer tw-250r's and a box. I like my box so i went ahead and kept it. The subs hit pretty well for being single voice coil though. I liked my box so i just made a few improvments. I added a piece of wood on the top so i could run a neon right above the subs to show them off, then i ran a piece on the back to mount my rockford fosgate amp to. The wood was fron a old book case and i just carpeted it with left over carpet from doing my floors.

i also installed some tweeters that are less than ok. I got them at the swapmeet for liek 4 bucks and they sound terrible but i am just going to keep them where they are until i upgrade to componets.

I just got done putting the spring seats and shackles on my 93. as soon as I can I will post pics of it. I have enough room now to put on 31's. Vic

 

[exploder619]

cant wait upload those pics asap.

 

[exploder619]

none of the pictures showed up

 

[repodad]

lets try this

 

[exploder619]

what kind of shackles are those? Also what gears do you have? i have open 3.27's. I looks almost exactly like mine. except a little higher in the back. lmk all the mods that you have done, also any pics with some 31's? Interior shots?

 

[bikeboarder]

you should put a 3 inch piece of pipe between the two shackels with a bolt holding it together to meke it look like an"H". this will make it stronger

 

[exploder619]

the pics do not work

 

[Black Goblin]

I am going to try and get them to work hold on
