Well it has been a busy couple of months. I am almost finished with the SAS on my 99 ranger. It started out because of cheap wheel bearings, one came apart and f-ed up pretty much everything on the drivers side. It was going to cost around 2 grand to fix the IFS so I said screw it and started on the SAS. I used a D30 out of a 96 model XJ. I then started striping my 90 model Ranger, which had a 6 inch skyjacker lift on it. I used the upper coil mounts, coil springs, shocks, steering head and the rear blocks from it. then I started striping the 99, it was a long very educating experiance. Heres some pics, be easy on the critisizm. Some things like the Y-liinks will be re-done when people start drinking more milk, I work on my inlaws dairy farm and times are tough right now.
before
everything taken out
cleaning up the frame
a pile of parts
front end under truck
coil mounts welded to frame
sitting on its own weight with rear lift on
y-links done
hard to see but its the track bar
on 36 inch TSL radials, and painted
Don't worry about the 90 model, when I get some more time I have some
D60's amd a 351C 4V going in it.
