Thats a clean lookin kit. Bet you're stoked!

Wow way bitchin

looks great! cant wait to see it finished

I've been wondering where Ross has been the past couple months, he doesn't seem to come on here much anymore. It looks good, i was becoming a fan of his work.

Looks good gary. What do you guys expect it to pull?

Great looking fab!

it will be bumped and strapped at 16.

Looks great

ross finished up the steering today

and yeahh i am reallly stoked about the kit i cant wait to have my truck back haha

ross posted!!!
where have you been! ranger is looking really good, enjoy it!

Shit Gary i'm jealous, looking good!

sweet any other mods planned

Looks bad ass Ross keep it up!

yeahh i have a couple other things planned.. i already have the rear set up pretty much i have the deaver f31 pack with kar tek hangers and camburg shackles with with a bolt in bed cage and saw 2.25x16 smooth bodies, but i need to re-valve the rear shocks bad

plans for the future are to add onto the bedcage and do a spare tire set up then re-valve the rear shocks.. i also wanna do some type of cage inside the truck but i was thinking maybe just a bolt in cage like the one in ross's old white truck, cause its still my DD so i dont want to rip out the whole interior but i still want some sort of cage for when i take the truck out..

what do you guys think about a bolt in cage like this??

that cage is bitchin! looks easy to build off of if you ever wanna fully cage it

I was thinking about that as a possibility in my truck too, at the B and C pillars.

yeahh i really like that cagee alot... no one rides in my back seats anyways cause i have 2 12's back there so im not worried about that and ill be able to keep my whole interior and then also feel a little more safe taking the truck out

updates?

That cage is full of dead tubes it will never work. Looks like its gunna be a fun little truck

yeahh im still debating on what i want to do cage wise, havent made up my mind yet.. but whatever i do it wont be done for a couple months so im in no rush to figure it out yet.. and yess the truck is sitting on its own now, ross has to align it in the morning and the front will be done then he is going to add onto the bedcage for a spare tire and do some other little things to the rear like new spring plates cause my old ones never got painted and rusted over and strap the rear and the truck will be done should be picking it up tomorrow before or after work

teaser pic for now

got to pick up the truck last night .. ross did an amazing job as always haha.. i love the way the truck came out, i cant wait to go out and test it
here are some pics that i took with my phone for now, ross has alot more pics that he took with his camera just waiting for him to send them to me, then i will post those ones up

fuck that came out way nice! not a fan of the tires but the truck as a whole is badass. Congrats

yeahh im not a fan of the tires either but my neighbor picked them up for his truck then ended up selling the truck and needed smaller tires for it when he sold it so i traded him my 4 31's for his 5 33's so i figured i would run them till they go bald haha i got them for free so no beating that

and thanks alot i love the way it turned out

dam this thing turned out real nice. make me wish i never sold mine. my truck was the exact same thing as this but i just updated the lights and grill.
its really clean! ross is always doing really good work. get the glass painted!
u keeping it green??

looks really cool man stoked for you.......remember to enjoy it take it out and have a blast..... but i have a question for a....... you upgraded your front hubs ....... is that the same bolt pattern as your rear or is it different now only reason i ask is i am debating of upgrading my hubs but wondering if i can get some nice hubs that are 5 on 4.5 didnt see anything in your thread bout this so just wondering

same bolt pattern which is saweeeeet haha makes an easy upgrade, BUT u need to figure your hub/snout configuration cuz i had to re-drill the snouts to fit the blocks...if u notice blitz' ranger kit, the holes on the face of their snout blocks are kinda crazy lookin but it makes for the d35 and d44 work with their spindles...i think, correct me if im wrong guys cuz i just remeber that crazy pattern from a whole back in the pics....but ya my blocks were for d44 but those have the same back lip diameter as the d35s... but not the d27s....huge difference. but the lug patterns are the same. hope that made sense im kinda tired from this week and now gettin ready to write a speech for my bros wedding tomorrow haha anywhooooo here r some pics. i had some issues with the brakes but luckily figured it out...truck still needs to be aligned but it needs to settle in a little to get the springs set a little then the good alignment will come in but its ok for now. i am so happy with the way this kit came out. honeslty u just have to see it in person. i love it. and most of all gary likes it and that is what matters.








just added to his bedcage...the spare tire setup cuz he needed some more weight back

next to come is new front bumper....makin it pretty nasty lol

sweet ill take some pics of my truck.........look kinda similar i have a edge though .......not to hijack the thread but i built a kit for myself using the camburg LT spindle only problem is that there spindle doesnt have a snout block persay.......is has that press in snout for the stock hubs...but there are no bolt holes like a flat machined block....just wondering if the only option i can do (reasonably) is to upgrade to camburgs hub assembly make sense? im super tired to lol but yeah man tomorrow ill post some pictured of what im talking about if thats cool like i said before i dont want to hijack the thread let me know if that cool or not

u keeping it green??

thanks man, yeahh i know they need to get painted haha but im going to have to hold off on that for a little so i can save up some money.. and yeah im gong to stay with that green i realy like the way the green looks and im thinking of getting black rims down the road i think the black and green will go good together, but thats all in the future once i get some money saved up again lol

and jackdeant i dont really know much about camburgs hub set up, does their upgraded hub assembly still use the stock snout seat up? and like ross said we are using the dana 35s snouts and hubs on this truck which are from older 4x4 rangers

so today was my first full day with the truck and the more i drive it the better everything is starting to feel now that the whole front end is starting to settle, and i was suprised how much that extra weight added onto the bedcage and the spare tire moved all the way to the back helped out the rear end, the rear end rides a whole lot smoother than it did before and i cant wait to see how it is going to ride once i get the other spare in there

plans for the future are to get another spare, re-do the front bumper (ross said he has something pretty cool planned out for that so i cant wait to see what he wants to do), re gear that rear end or just buy ones thats already has gears, get everything all dialed in how i want it, then worry about paint and all that other stuff haha, then possible a cage someday

u shouldnt say POSSIBLY a cage someday haha cuz u neeeed a cage for sure lol all in good time tho

how much are you going to sell that kit for?

Haha yeahh thats true ross there will be a cage one day but not for awhile

well here let me show you guys what im talking about.......just ripping this pic right off camburgs website since my spindles are identical to tho ones here


see what i mean about no flat snout block? i think the upgrad they offer is a weld on snout...........dont know for sure calling them on monday but see what im getting at ?

dana 35 snout...dana 44 snout....2" snout.....2.5" snout.......bolt on whatever the fuck you want.

yeahh i see what you are talkinga about with the cambug kit.. even in their upgraded kit it still looks like it runs the stock snouts, have you talked to camburg and figure it out?

so after driving around all day going to all the tire shops in the area no one carries these fucking tires haha i have no clue where my neighbor got them from but all shops said theywould have to try and order them so idk i dont feel like buying a new one just for a spare haha (anyone have one of these tires in a 33/12.50/15 let me know ill take it off your hands haha) but other than that i might just have to go with a different tire for a spare

yeah man talked to camburg today........their upgraded kit use a weld on snout.........the entire hub assembly(snout, seals, bearings, nut, caliper adapter, wilwood 4 pistons, 13'' rotor and pads) pretty much everything i need to go back and weld/install it on is 2k...... having trouble deciding what pattern to go with though 6 lug or 5 lug so im in between right now

Truck looks amazing! Ross did an awesome job on the truck!

i use to have those tires.. u can get them on ebay or susper swamper/interco dealers... i luv them for sand

got a little update painted the rest of the bedcage and got another spare, ended up picking up a bfg at, all the shops said it would be like $180 to order me a matching tire but i would of still had to buy another rim but i was able to pick up this brand new bfg and rim for 100, so i just went with that haha, im thinking about just picking up some more bfg's if i see anyone selling some for cheap and keeping at least 2 of these traxus tires for when i take the truck in the sand


and just some other pics cause i love my truck haha
