    • Love this, well done as usual, let the haters hate, ignore them.
      There's always something new to learn.

      • Haters are in every segment of our hobby/sport!
        A true gearhead cannot hate this rig and still call him/herself a gearhead
        I know there are folks who hate what I do.. I'm fine with that
        There are those who say our style of builds are killing the sport.. But when the classes are split, guess which class always has more cars show..
        I'm sure the 1950-1960 guys who used old army jeeps will say this is a piece of.... But there are smart ones who think it i a jewel..
        It comes with the territory!
        I remember being told adding mags and wide tires was the stupidest thing ever done..

        Again Aaron, you done did outdid yourself!
        While I liked the vette, I just love this rig..
        I'm sure the Buick will be just as or more awesome! And there WILL BE those who say you "ruined" it!

              believe it or not, a lifted vehicle tends to handle better because the lift takes the mush out of the suspension.

                • I had a 91? Ranger stx 4x4 far as i know it was stock except for the 3" body lift and 30" tires and it handled very well almost no body roll. The stone stock 89 2wd ranger I had was a roller-coaster (had more roll than a bakery ).

                    • forgive me if you've covered this already - did you end up using lizard skin or equivalent on your floors then painting over with the same paint you used on the body?

                      • lizard skin, then a bed liner on top, undercoat then bedliner under neath... paint over everything,

                        • Once I got home, I had a few minutes to mess with my '40....
                          cell phone holder plus charge port


                          finish roll bar wrap


                          started mapping out how these are going to install


                          and these


                          so the next project will be deconstructing this


                          and putting it on this


                          so I can tow it behind the '40 or whatever
