RockRangerII the build up.

[Stic-o]

Got a picture? We might be able to work something out. We will have to pull those bed covers while we are out at thaven for your sisters truck.

I'll see if I can get a pic for you. It needs new rivets for the latches (you could probally use carrige bolts), and I don't have a key for the locks, but other then that it's in pretty good condition.

I was super happy as well with the aussie locker up front. It was much quiter then the lockright that was in my old truck. It had a little push while on harder surface but that is expected of any locker. I think there were only 2 or 3 times throughout the day that a rear locker would have helped. I was super happy with it and am thinking about getting one for the rear axle as well.

Yeah I am really happy with the my aussie locker in the rear. I barely know its there except when offroad ofcourse. Their customer service was awesome too. They even called me on a sunday night when I was having trouble with something on the install.

Only two complaint I had with aussie locker was that my credit card got billed twice. I had tried ordering over the internet but it failed to go through so the next morning I called and ordered. Some how my card got billed twice. When I got my bill I gave them a call and gave them the info I had. 30 minutes later I had an email from them saying they found the problem and that my card was being refunded. There call backs and cutomer service was great. The second one is that there hold music sucks and puts you to slee while you are on hold (even if it is just for the 10 seconds you are getting transfered.

hows the truck nowadays ?

 

[RockRanger]

My dad took it in today to smogit and it passed. Although the HC were a bit high. Not high enough to fail but close to the high side. Thats about it. Once I get my fix it ticket signed off I will be hacking out the fenders so the tires wont rub anymore. Get it ready for the run in feburary and after that hopefully I can get the doubler in.

 

[DB_1]

So how much you hackin' out, fender flare line perhaps?

Np435

I don't know if you have seen this on Pirate yet or not, but someone on RRORC completed a NP 435 on a ranger.

Maybe that will help you out. Once you get the kinks worked out, maybe I'll give it a shot .

 

[RockRanger]

Saw that. Same way I was going to do it to. Alot of the things he is doing are things that I addressed in my other thread about the swap and doubler. Dont know if he saw my post or not and then started working on it or not. Still not sure of they have the starter issues figured out for the 4.0 though.

I am at work today and my boss stops by to check on how the job is going. I love having a job where the boss only shows up every few weeks and only for 45 minutes when he does. Anyway before he leaves he said he had something in his truck for me. Open the door and in the back seat is a warn 9500 xp winch new in the box. Nice gift for a job well done I would say I was happy to be getting a winch. Now it is time to figure out a bumper to get it on the truck.

You Suck! I'll keep it on my truck till you have a place to put it though

 

[FROADER]

Nice! Just as long as the front bumper looks better than the last.
Only because this truck looks better than the last...(for now)

Dont worry its doing a great job holding the carpet down in the room. Maybe in the next few weeks I will get a chance to start the front bumper. I need to go break into DB1 house and steal his tube bender to build up the front bumper.

this truck has only been wheeled 4 times and Ive already taken and crushed a door and dented the bed. The last truck had 7 years of abuse and probably close to 100 wheeling trips on it. It was a dialy driver and this isnt Give it a few years and I think the body will be turning into a jungle gym.

i never joined this site soon enough but what did your last ranger look like

 

[Nick26]

thats awesome, sounds like a cool place to work, what do you do for a living?

 

[John_Rock]

The old Ranger...

Matt,

Are you going to cut your doors like your old truck? I mean they are dented now

 

[RockRanger]

I guess you could say I am a project manager for a small constuction company. Usually we do alot of tenant improvement stuff for FedEx. However the current project I am working on is the install of a new modular home on a lot with a room addition and decks being added to it onsite. Kind of 2 differnt areas but still pretty fun. Before that I traveled around the country building shooting ranges mostly on military bases. Putting those 6 years of college and that business degree to work real hard

Matt,

Need to get a second set first so I can keep it sealed during the winter. I wont run cut doors till I have a cage though.
