Looks nice man. ^^ Double post...:lol:
Do you have plans to move the turn signal lights to a different spot? I didn't even notice them there the first time I looked. :) |
Your exhaust sticks out WAY too far.
The paint job looks pretty good, but you honestly should have replaced the windshield before it was painted. Have you decided on tires for it? If you're giving it a lift you're going to want some nice meaty tires. I also hope you do something about that front grille, looks weird with that nice fresh paint and then a dirty grille. |

Cool but why do your exhaust tips stick out so far?
|
I moved them from the lower valence to the grill because I'm going to fiberglass the spots where they used to be in smooth to give it a better looking stance. And I do have a front bumper... the valence is missing.
EDIT: The exhaust tips stick out that far because thats the closest i could get them to being in. The dual exhaust kit i have is from a 2000 S10 modified for my truck, and the way the pipes come to the back, they are angled at about a 30 degree slant from horizontal, so if i cut the pipes back any farther my tips would aim downwards as well.I can give you a link to my youtube video of the exhaust if you'd like.

Video of my exhaust. It is a lot deeper then that, but camera doesn't take the best of sound clips. I got a new one now, maybe i should try it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bi288zeifU4 |
Looks good so far, I assume given your explanation that your getting different tips later down the road, right?
|
are you going to smooth over the holes where the b3000 logo used to be?
other than that its looking good =P |
interesting truck, but i really have trouble "feeling it" with those tires on it.

imstock, no those tips are staying on, I welded them on. Skim4food, I didn't have 2 way tape at the time, but now they are back on and A new windshield is in, however they scratched my paint and i'm not impressed. Firebird, I mentioned i'm getting new tires and rims. I have 31's but they are winter tires. |
shoulda just dont a custom exhaust. woulda been way cheaper, and would look MUCh nicer. possibly even sound better.
least you got a solid front axle, will make lifting that thing SUPER easy. dont waste on money on buying a $2000 kit. you can make one your self, for prob 1/4 the money and get way more lift out of it if you wanted. |

btw those tips are Stainless Steel but they were covered in overspray in that picture, i shined them up |
exhaust like this would sound nice:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xo0eJ...eature=related but so far so good... a roush engine in that would be sick :-P but thats unrealistic |
I jus noiticed your running a Ranger Bed...Lol awsome!
|
lol OMFG he is

hack saw, saw zall, cutting wheel. NO FLAMAGE. welding is the very most flame you want when doing exhaust. lots of grease and oil under rigs that likes to catch fire. open flames are no bueno. are you going body lift or suspension lift? becarefull of cheap kits. you get what you pay for. sometimes they arnt worth it cuz they set you suspension so out of wack your travel sucks, you cant align it so your eating your exspensive mud tires like crazy, and they make it hell for people like me who work in a alignment/suspension shop to fix your **** truck when something goes out. cheap kits are not the way to go 99% of the time. needs to be done right. Number one reason id make my own lift kit for anything that was SFA. |
oh and if you need helping on that motor swap if you ever get that far let me know. i put a 289 into a 94 body dropped ranger. lot of fun and boy did that thing kick some *** and smoke some rubber
