this is my official build thread for my 1995 Ford Ranger Splash nicknamed "LEMON LAID". i gave it that name because its yellow. anyways, on to pics and stuff!!
day 1:
well today i decided to start working on the rear end of my truck to make way for my 20inch Boss 308 wheels. heres 2 pics of it ready to get work done:
i put the tonneau cover over the top of my truck to keep sparks and any other flying objects from hitting the back glass.
next i tuck my finger (lol) and traced out where i wanna cut. i went back over it with a sharpie so i can see it easier when i cut. heres a pic of it before i cut (minus outline of sharpie...lol):
then i decided to do some cutting with my trusty sawzall and heres my end result:
i still gotta do some touch up cutting to make it look cleaner. i just gotta get some longer sawzall blades as i only had short ones. after the cutting, i decided to try a wheel on and see what it looks like on the truck (this isnt a photoshop pic!!):
after i got it on, i was satisified with the way it sat until i looked inside the bed and saw this:
i think to fix that, im going to have to upper and lower bag hat (i dunno what else to call them) off and then grind down on the bag mount so that the wheel will fit. this was only one side and it took me about 2hrs to do. so far im pretty satisfied with the way everything is turning out so far. look for more coming soon! comments welcome
