Onewyr's extended cab Ranger

[onewyr]

I swear everything I touched went to crap today I started welding the driver side rock rail in and on the last weld I ran out of argon/co2 so I said screw it I'm done and going inside then later I got the urge to go and pull the leaf springs so I could remove one of the leafs to try and lower the rear end and I pulled the center pins to separate the leafs and stripped both center pins so now I have 2 leaf packs laying on the ground waiting for me to grab another set of pins from SPRING MENDERS and also gonna get my bottle refilled at ARCET tomorrow so maybe I can get this truck finished up this weekend, or at least get it to where I can drive the thing with out dodging the cops, maybe take a test run over to deepcreek

I picked up the center pins and refilled the bottle today and then went and watched Fast and furious it was a pretty good flick there will be another sequel. But anyways back on topic. I re-assembled the spring packs minus 1 leaf and now with the bed on the truck the bottom of the bumper is set at 30 inches so I figure by the time I get a full tank of fuel, the spare tire, and my air tanks it should be sitting right where it needs to be.


I decided I am just gonna frame around the gas tank so that I don't lose so much of the bed space

[onewyr]

thank you captain obvious. figure I will make a hitch mount for her car seat

[LILREDCJ6]

whats with the jeep in the yard? We finally convert you?

[jeeepxj]

Is that Jimmy's piece?

[onewyr]

yes that is jimmy's piece.

I got the bed mounts made and mounted the bed I also got the case shifter extended and floor plate cut and re installed now I just need to put the glass in and put all the floor plugs in so I don't suffocate. After dinner at Rancho Grande Me, Brandy,and Jaxon got the tail lights all working. Brandy was operating the pedals and switches while Jaxon handed me tools so I could splice the wires back together. Tomorrow I will get the fan hooked back up and hopefully get the passenger side rockrail mounted then I will start the long task of grinding the bed down and get it ready for paint.
