thanks alot man, i saw that video of your truck, it looks really good
i cant wait to actually take my truck out.. im working this whole weekend so i guess i have to wait till next weekend... i got to mess around in this little spot on my way home from school the other day but it wasnt much.. but the truck did handle good though haha

truck came out bitchen!

you got some competition ryan haha

haha i guess so looks like i gotta work on the ranger again!

haha yeahh you need to get to work on that thing.. i mean hows that going to feel when i pass you and i have your old parts on my truck haha

haha well just wait i just picked up a 1969 f110 so i wont feel as bad when that ones done and i pass you lol

What! You picked one up?? I wanna come check that thing out when you start working on it... still keeping the ranger?

yep i got if for free! ill deffinaly let you know when i start working on it. the plan is to keep the ranger and make it realy nice for a pre runner and have the 69 for a race truck or just for play

finally got to take the truck in some dirt yesterday!!
the front rides so nice i am really happy with it... but i quickly figured out that i need to do something about the rear lol doesent even come close to keeping up with the front, it rode really stiff but then it would still bottom out
these are the only pics i got it was a quick 1 hour tester session but everything went good

heres your pics from the show.

Dammit why the hell did i click on this thread, now i miss my ranger really bad

yeahh that sucks you had to sell your ranger, your truck is the one that finalized my decision on going with bbr haha it was a ranger and it came out clean!

thanks man!!
i call it silverwood but its on the way to barstow.. its the trail that runs under cajon pass.. you take the 15N and you take the 138/silverwood exit and at the stop sign you go straight across the street like your going to get back on the freeway and to the right of the on ramp there is a dirt road and just take that road and it will take you under the railroad track and under the 15. right after the second railroad track there is some pretty good whoops and then on the other side of the 15 it takes you into some hills
its cool cause its an actual ohv trail so its legal and its pretty fun to go mess around for awhile but still a pretty far drive from lb

i have some little updates
got some king tripple bypasses!


picked up a 8.8 with 410s out of a ranger last weekend and went to ross's shop today to put it in, while i was taking off the old axle ross added a truss on the new one... gotta say thanks to ross for working all day on a sunday haha

truck looks awesome man! good to meet you at the show.

thanks man!! i had a couple problems with it last week, had the water pump and the fan clutch go out, but replaced both of those so its all good now

and yeahh it was cool to meet you at the show too, we need to get a desert meet going ive been dying to get the truck in some dirt again

barstow clean up! be there its gonna be a blast this year

yeah i am already trying to get work off that weekend so i can make it out there, im trying to get my friend to take his motorhome out and make it a whole weekend trip. hopefully the truck is running better by then, ive been having problems with it running hot and the water pump going out. it over heated on me the weekend of that corona meet but i thought that was just cause it was like 110 out that weekend but then the water pump went out the next week, and my neighbor who owns a machanic shop changed the waterpump less than a year ago so it was still under warrenty so i took it back to him and he changed it out and the truck ran good for a couple weeks. then last sunday i went out and meet up with some guys from here in riverside and that was fun and the truck rode so nice!! but it ran fine the whole way there then once i got there and i turned the truck off you could here the water bubbling and then i looked at the temp gauge and it just started to rise so let it cool off and then drove it the rest of the day and didnt have any problems with it over heating. but right when i got on the freeway to go home it started to run hot again so i just cruised the whole way home with the windows down but once i got home anti freeze just flowing out of one of the breather holes on the waterpump, so now its at my neighbors shop for a new waterpump again and a new thermostat and when he started taking it all apart he noticed its been leaking anti freeze from the timing chain cover so now hes replacing that gasket too, that had to be fun haha... sorry for the rant thats just whats been going on with the truck haha

i still need to get some action shots or maybe even a video going haha but for now this was the only good action shot that we got and its still nothing good


and got a full droop pic when it was on my neighbors lift

that is too clean.
and now im jealous..

are your spares on stock old ranger rims or american racing?
super clean truck by the way.

thanks alot guys!
and i finally got it running good again, we pulled off the water pump that was just put on a week ago and the bearing inside of it started to come out of the front, but replaced that the thermastat and replaced the timing chain and the timing gears since the cover was already off but its running good now but gotta get it on the freeway to see if it starts to run hot again

and they are on american racing rims the matching tire is on the same 8 hole rim as the rest of the truck but the bfg at is on an ar 23 that i got with the tire

mine has been doing the same thing, got home one night and i could hear the water bubbling, and it started leaking down the block and turns out it was the intake manifold. check that aswell

alright ill have to check that out too
once the timing chain cover gasket got changed its stopped leaking but its still running hot idk wtf is going on now, but i am taking it back to his shop tomorrow and we are going to run some test on it and hopefully find out whats wrong

damn fords and there over heating! i kid... i kid.....

pretty sure i got a video of you i just haven't got it off my gf's camera yet

yeah i know huh haha!!
i was wondering if you got a video or not.. can you post it up if you did?

check the thermostat

i think we figured out what was wrong, the new fan clutch that was put in was an aftermarket one instead of a ford one cause it was $100 cheaper but we ran some test on it and found out that the fan wasent pushing enough air so that was making it run hot and right when you would turn on the ac it would just build up with preasure and make the truck run even hotter so we got an actual ford fan clutch and ive been driving it around for the past two days and havent hade any problems with it over heating so hopefully that was the problem

and im sorda bummed i wont be able to make it to the clean up, my family planned a trip to glamis so im going out there with them but im still taking my truck so hopefully ill have some action shots or even a video after this trip

When are you going to glamis man?
You should get some huck videos. :P

i went to glamis this weekend i just got back on sunday.. the truck ran great!! drove it there, drove it all weekend, and drove it back with no problems. took it to olds on saturday for the first time that was pretty cool, but i was stoked on how it rode, i also adjusted the bypass tubes and got the rear end riding pretty nice.. didnt get any huck videos but we did get a video through the whoops im just waiting for my friend to upload it
this is the only pic i took though

Sweet man. Can't wait to se. take anymore pics?

He said he only took one. Bummer! Nice truck man.
