Started getting my body painted and put on. Also stated on the new tube work, the doors aren't going back on. The fender is just sitting there for pictures.







You can see the tube started

Well, if anyone cares, here goes


Finished tube doors and front body for now. Working on bed sides soon.



Then drove up my tree for good measure



It'll drive on trees, I'm hardKorez

Wheeled the piss out of it at Flat Nasty in Missouri and at Drummond Island, Turtle ridge offroad park. Great time, the ranger can take a beating, the cage holds up to full roll overs even

Couple crappy pics

Re used bed sides. The next/new ones will maybe keep the factory tail lights and a wheel well arch.... Maybe





Little bent, new one is a little straighter



Passenger oh shit bar, they will thank me later!



Made inner an fender for the passenger side to keep water off my air filter, drivers side up next

Wheeled it lots, beat the living hell out of it, no real issues. Gearing up for another Canada run, called the looney run. A few pictures and videos of the fun

Little update,

I kept bending my tierod, and how it was bending it was hitting my ram, and already once, I bent a cylinder from the leverage the tierod and mount had. The new one I made the tierod mount higher and rotated it back further to help reduce the contact for when it bends again. The new tierod is 1/4 wall, 1.75 od.



And I finally took the step of removing the glass, all of it. I can see so much better and it stays cooler now. Rain and winter will suck, but I'll deal.
