we did.... but funds grew weak and it was cheaper to sell the whole cab and frame and go buy a nice DD

Thanks PCI I will definitely give you guys a call!!

**bmxking454** · 11-09-2011, 06:46 PM

Nice work, Clean and simple. Keep the pics coming.

**slcpunk74** · 11-10-2011, 12:13 AM

Ahh the beamed rangers like the chocolate chip cookies of the off-road world. You forget how great they can be after you have a few not so great ones but when you get one that's just right it's like the first time hearing the Beatles.

I actually hate the Beatles but this is a very clean start to a build I'm sure I will be very jealous of.

**JohnnyG** · 11-10-2011, 08:48 AM

Thanks it should be very fun when it is done

**JohnnyG** · 11-11-2011, 02:08 AM

good news the glass got mounted today and picked up new 17in kmc beadlocks from 93range. bad new the glass doesn't clear /: buttt i think the new glass we are getting is alot better then the 4.5 raptor bedsides(: the new glass has new designed louvers and is 7in buldge so going down to fiberwerx on tuesday gotta love spending money. for sell is a set of 4.5in flare raptor conversion bedsides with the lights cut out and ready to be mounted pm me for price.

**Dirt E Dreamer** · 11-11-2011, 07:55 AM

yah whats up with their rear glass not clearing... i have the same problem

**JohnnyG** · 11-11-2011, 09:33 AM

its not that its fiberwerx fualt.. at the time when we purchased the glass their was only one option of the conversion glass which we new we might have a problem but we still bought it so its not fiberwerx's fault its mine.

**JohnnyG** · 11-11-2011, 09:54 AM

**$RONNY$** · 11-11-2011, 07:57 PM

**JohnnyG** · 11-11-2011, 11:57 PM

**xx02EDGExx** · 11-16-2011, 10:45 PM

how wide is that 9" wms to wms if you dont mind? but truck looks sweet! its comin along nicely

**JohnnyG** · 11-16-2011, 11:37 PM

i will measure it when i go look at the truck again, but im pretty sure with 35s it is around 84wide out side of tire on each side. The glass is also a 7in flare

**JohnnyG** · 11-17-2011, 08:57 PM

**Live...Ride...** · 11-20-2011, 12:48 PM

**JohnnyG** · 11-20-2011, 02:48 PM
