Thread: "Desert Storm" 2004 blitzkrieg lt xlt ranger

Had been a long time coming and a lot of drooling over blitz's website of their lt kit for my ranger, and after a couple pain staking years i finally got enough chips saved up for it. For it being my daily driver i wanted something that can perform excellent in the dirt but the same time rolling in the streets look clean. Talked to a lot of people and looked for myself at a lot of shops ranger xlt lt kits and no one seemed even close to blitzkriegs work and kit, and if i was gonna spend the money for long travel i may as well do it right the first time and not regret so thats why i went with the blitz kit and coilovers and triples if ur gonna go big do it right... so far right now i have my front end done... within in a month or so ill move my way to the rear.

i know this is dezert rangers and theres a lotta internet fabricators on here that like to criticize and say what they want so be it say what u want... but for more then anything i just posted this thread of my truck cause i havent seen one myself of a xlt blitz long travel...

PICS..... and who welded up your shit aj or jesse or jake? IMO i would have jake weld it up or jesse there welding skills are AMAZING, AJ is also good to but i personally think jesse or jake are better.

im posting right now i fucked up and it signed me out

the essentials hubs, coilovers, and blitz kit

wish blitz could of put it on for me but i dont have that kinda bank roll to get their fab work, so baja shop it was known bout them for awhile and my buddy used to work there so felt comfortable with them putting the kit on first came the gutting of the buckets and stripping everything off

sent the kit to get powder coated at a shop across the street from the baja shop but in the mean time work was gettin done with the shock mounts and reinforcements and front bumper build

took bout a week to get my kit powder coated lil too long for my comforts but was more then satisfied when i got it back gloss black double coated

as far as i know of and im goin from what aj told me him and geo worked on my truck

at this point its been a couple weeks into the build and i was gettin worried how long it was gonna take and i was feeling like a bumb being without my truck being a daily driver and all. but with the kit being back from powder coat it kicked off... instead of platting into the frame, it got platted strait across just seems like it would be a lot stronger that way

is that clamp attached to your hub to hold the rotor ?

Just looks like a clamp

I was gonna put my acumulater sidways like that but someone told it wouldn't work right and the ac wont blow as cold, just something to look into.

thats true..... .and there is no hole to get to the motor mount bolt when it breaks in 5 months

It has been talked about before on many different threads. You can access that bolt by taking the lower control arm off.

bms LT.......for XLT

ill get some pic up of the finish product later today

They shouldnt have had to disconnect either of them, i built more than one engine cage for my ranger without having to disconnect my ac or heater and so have other people, id b upset too if that stuff didn't work.

jackdeant was saying that there was no way to get to the motor mount bolts with the way you plated the frame. But I was showing him a link where they discussed this issue and the bolt is accessible if you were to take the lower control arms off, thus nothing to worry about.

I didn't even give that a thought but I seemed it would be stronger plated accross oppose to notching into the frame
