Whoo I love ordering parts!

[thegaffney]

I just did some ordering today for the truck

I ordered a black Hunter grille guard, a set of PIAA 500 Ion Fog lights for it, and a 3" body lift kit,

Next week Ill be ordering a set of American Racing Mojave Teflon wheels in 15", and 33 x 12.5 BFG KM2's, along with 3" spindles, the add a leaf for the rear, and 2 more pairs of PIAA driving lights for the CARR light bar I picked up last week, oh and a tint job.

Its a commin along!! The grille guard should be here wednesday, havent got a tracking number for the body lift but hopefully should be around the same time,

Ugh I dont know what id do after that, I think thats all ive wanted to do to it so far? Im gonna be bored

 

[rileyrs]

you might wanna think about gears if your goin to run 33's.

also you should do intake, and cat back, if you havent yet.

 

[thegaffney]

yeah, I was thinkin about the gears, havent done too much research on it yet as to what would be best, already got a magniflow cat back, and yes intake would be nice, I forgot about that, thanks

 

[thegaffney]

here a few quick shots of the light bar with no lights yet

Light bar looks good

How do you plan to attach the Hunter grill guard after you put on your 3" body lift?

Did you get it off ebay?

 

[thegaffney]

Ill just have the mount re-made or shortened, and i got it from truck gear direct for 239 shipped

 

[thegaffney]

here are some shots with the guard and the lights

That grill guard is a really good price for what you get, i was surprised


and that oil spill is not mine just FYI lol

 

[FocusSTGuy]

which spindles are you getting????

 

[thegaffney]

the only ones i can find are the ones on ebay, I would prefer to not buy a part like that off ebay though, so if you know of another place let me know

here a few quick shots of the light bar with no lights yet

better re-tighten that, or atleast check it, about once a month or so.

I lost mine on the highway, because a couple of the bolts loosened

 

[BrianDye]

Lookin badass man....hows your sub box coming along?

 

[ShadowRaven]

Man, I swear where do all of you guys get your 3479324798374729374 dollars to afford all of this.... I started doing my 02 Sport and now I don't even have enough money to afford paying my bills Student loans... sigh, here I come.

Fabtech makes a lift spindle for the Ranger Egde which has t-bars and I would think be very similar to the 2wd Ex. You can check them out here.Clicky

 

[thegaffney]

yeah i could see how that could happen, i been checking it every once and awhile

here are some pictures with the body lift, I still need to get the brackets for the push bumper remade, the front bumpers off because I cant keep the round top part of the bushing for the front 2 mounts from spinning, ive bought every tool that I can think of to try to hold it from spinning but no luck, me and a friend are going to try again tomorrow though, and hopefully get the bracket and Ill get some pics with the front all there

 

[thegaffney]

here we go, got the bracket cut and welded back on, and got the rest of th mounts on, just used and impact wrench and a monkey wrench

just need to get the back bumper now

 

[thegaffney]

I just gave the rear brackets diagram to somone to make hopefully make in the next few days.

luckly the good thing about the desert is no rust so it doesnt look too bad back there right now, ill have to move the exhaust though,

 

[thegaffney]

here are some new toys

35" BFG KM2's I only got one for now to see I Ill need another 3" lift, looks like i might, but the rim I ordered for it hasent came in yet so i havent been able to put it on yet,

here's the rim i ordered, and will be ordering for the rest of the set

oh and i got the rear bumper on

I must say your truck really looks awesome after undergoing the simple (OK not so simple : wrench turning etc.) process of adding a few key elements , body lift, racks & accessories, grille guards etc. Again, excellent job, sweet truck, Good Luck !

 

[smurfxlt]

is your truck black or blue? if its black we have the same truck! except mines almost stock, but not for long! and fyi, im almost positive since we have the sport package, we have 4:10s, so you might not need to regear

its blue, and no i checked my axle code i have the 3:67 or whatever the ratio is, but oh well, that will be another project

Im excited, I want the rest of my 35"s now that I have one on the roof lol

It looks so much bigger when i sat it next to the ones i have on it now, time to find some extra work to buy them faster!!! but next check i need to spend on Las Vegas ( Darn it!!! )

heres a close up,
