good build, i like to watch people customize their DD, it shows there are still some RBV owners who live in "reality". since he said they were duralast shoes im guessing he got the hardware at auto-zoo. i wish i would have POR15'd my drums when i did them. instead i used plastikote caliper paint and it doesnt like to be exposed to brake cleaner (kind seems studpid to market paint for brakes and then make brake cleaner its 'achiles heel'). keep up the good work, youll like having that center console in there im sure.

Yup, power seats :)

The brake hardware all came from autozone. I had a gift card there and used it to pay for some of the cost.

I got the buckets in and wired up, working on the console now.

Well, I've been traveling a ton lately so I haven't been able to put any time into the 'lil Ranger.

Currently at 178k miles and going strong

I spent last weekend doing a little work. I was going to replace the front shocks, but ended up twisting off the f'n lower mounting bolts. I ended up cutting up a 1/2" bolt and welding it in place.




I also sanded/painted the rest of the frame because it needed (as you can see above). I started the back half last fall but never got around to doing the rest before winter. I still need to do the rear axle and some of the front suspension parts. Rear shocks will be going on next.


I sold my cap and put back on the summer treads; here's where it sits now; :


I'll work on getting interior pictures with the seats, for some reason I've never taken any.

Until next time ~

Well, Ladies and Gents, I have sold the 'lil Ranger so this will be my last post in this thread. 33,864 miles, 2 years, and 7 months later I let her go.

Keep on Truckin'
