Project TUKN body droppin the ranger

It has been awhole since I have last postd over here but I figure I would post up the new project on the ranger. I am haveing Wesley Nelson (riddinlow99) on this site perform the work that you will be seeing, I would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting a any bag work done and for a fair price. Now mind you this started to be only a front clip swap but with some persuasion I was convinced that it was only alittle bit more steel and with the motor coming out. It only made sense to bite the bullet and go for it. Enough with the typing, on with the pics. JIMMY

The new plates:


The rims that I am going with Devino Flawless 22x8.5 and 245/35/22 tire



The day I dropped the truck off



All of this will be hidden under a made up bed floor until next year when I redo the bed with a stock floor look


The next day











When he sent me these pics I almost threw up alittle

What a mess but these will all be extended to hide as much in the dash as possible and under the wheel tubs




out with old 4 link


gonna be nice to see the bed lay on the ground


bye bye old friend

Wes filling in any holes and cleaning up the clip a little

Rear end nicely centered

are you using flux core?

I'm taking a shot in the dark but looks like wes did judging from the amount of slag splatter in a few of the pics.

good, that gives me some hope because thats all i have at my house

looking good Jimmy...keep the pics coming!

Yes it is flux that Wes is using. JIMMY
