Had a kid ask me if I wanted to go wheeling next weekend while at the gas station today. He was driving a 96ish ranger splash. Reg. Cab short bed. 14"+ of homemade lift and 40" boggers. Best part about it all is that its a stock 3.0 v6 auto and has zero axle work done. The lift consists of 8" lift coils with 3" spacers under and above the coils. I didn't get a look at the rear but I'm gonna assume its blocks. I'll snag a pic next weekend if he actually shows. Who thinks he will make it more than half a mile on the trail before he destroys something?

if he doesn't break something, he'll chicken out on alot of obstacles and go around.

Obstacles? With a truck like that it sounds like he belongs in Florida mud, no where else.

well if he's got anti wrap bars on the rear and a massive sway bar on the front and he creeps everywhere, he might complete the trail.

Replaced engine mounts. Now I need to find a new TRS or at least the piece that is broken.

My front clip was getting really beat up (faded and scuffed) so I repainted the front... I love the Rustoleum hammered finished stuff. It goes on real thick and easy and has lasted much longer on my sliders then the Ebay bed-liner-in-a-can did. Bad sunlight/camera but it looks great in real life!

Cleaned a lot of crap out of and washed it for once. Stuck a whole pack of tree air fresheners in it, Febreezed the **** out of the seats, and ran Frigi-fresh through the a/c system. It's had that 90s Cherokee musty smell going on and I haven't been able to get rid of it, hope this helps.

Also cancelled my steel order and ordered from someone else closer to me. Price cut in half excluding the shipping alone and these guys aren't making me take a full length of 21' pipe and 6"x20' 1/4" plate. The pipe I didn't mind, but I don't have anywhere to put an extra 16' of 1/4" plate or anything to do with it lol
