I will take pics of the angle when I get the truck back its sitting at dealership waiting on the axle to come in. I never take anything to have work done to it but I have a awesome 3year warranty that covers everything Im sure my bank already regrets giving me it.


Now to drive my ranger to work for the next few days

I run mine in 4HI every time it sees the strip. I bet it was bad CV angles. How is the front of the truck lifted/leveled?

Its a fabtech lift with a 5in block in the rear and drop brackets the front is just a new cross member with torsion drop brackets. Its a pretty awful design coming from the 4x4 world I could never put such an un-functional lift on one of my trucks. I am currently trying to figure out what I will need to go back to stock.

Got to do a little bit of painting after work today. Painted the grille and Gas tank door. Also got the ugly door trim removed with the help of a 3M magic eraser wheel! This weekend will be painting the bumpers and installing new ISS.

Got the front bumper painted and the 4X4 decals removed. Now I am wondering if I should paint all the plastic bumper valences and fender flares gloss black to match. And also if I should remove both colors of the pin stripe gold/silver or just the silver because I will be soon rolling on bronze/gold wheels.

Excuse the pictures its been to cold to give it a good bath.

Also spent some time on my roommates 84 300D. I kinda want one for a daily.

The 300D rolls coal and does wicked burnouts all while being a gentlemans saloon. Needs hood stack tho.

Rained all weekend and went house hunting lease is up soon. But I did install my Borgeuson ISS and painted My exhaust from the y pipe back. Since my LLP heads and ORY are polished stainless they should not rust to terrible but after them its just cheap galvanized steal with a Magnaflow muffler and Chrome tip. So I used high temp paint gave them multiple coats of primer color and clear to defend against the SD winters. Came out better then I expected and smelled wonderful first time I let it heat up!

Also need suggestions on what to do to the rear.
-Dont want any chrome
-Probably gonna remove those decals
OPEN TO ANY SUGGESTIONS!

This weekend I got my G2 diff cover installed I am very pleased with its quality! but....... I am sad after seeing the condition of my ring and pinion
The magnet on my stock diff had more then just a fro it had so many shavings and chunks and almost full teeth in it. Also got to paint my entire axle with chassis saver it looks like new I love that stuff. Except when it gets on my hands and does not come off for days.

Also got my new JVC head unit installed today after installing about 30 of them it only takes 30 mins and i love the simplicity of a simple single din.

Over the weekend i also got to work a little on my ranger got the bed bobbed about 1 1/2 - 2 ft and installed a set of drop hangers to gain about an inch of lift or so. still needs a long list of things done to it.
