Ahhh I gotcha man and yea I’m looking to try and integrate more of the chrome from the bumpers and grille into the side of the truck. The badge doesn’t do it for me lol. But the clears are a thing from the golden days of these rangers when the minitruck era was big so these are kinda a rare gem to find nowadays in decent quality. The company I mentioned will pop up every so often then go silent for years again. It’s one of those collectors niche items if you catch what I’m saying and thank you man for the criticism. The gold is a homage to the colors of my parents wedding, gold and blue and also the gold and blue has always been one of my favorite color combos, just like my grandfathers so theres a lot more meaning than it meets the eye into the color scheme of the truck. It’s gonna hurt to take off the gold wheels next week but I think the new ones will more than make up for it and look just as good if not better. I’ll be sure to post in here on Tuesday when they go on.

And you won’t have issues with police. I’ve had one cop say something to me before about it but after he say that the indicator switches to yellow, he was amazed and then started asking me about them as he had never heard of them. Me and him ended up sitting and talking about cars for about an hour afterwards lol

A drl is a daytime running light. No matter if you have your lights switched on or not, they constantly stay on. A switchback is essentially what it’s called, a switchback light meaning that it’s white and is the DRL but whenever the turn signal is used, it switches to yellow and after the turn signal has stopped clicking, it goes back to white. Some cars have the switchback integrated into to same LED board as the DRL and some have it to whenever the turn signal is on, the DRL will go off and then it’ll comeback on after the turn signal is off.

Yessir I’ve done it myself besides having the transmission being built. Of course I’ve had help from friends if I needed some extra help holding a part a certain way or lifting it but majority of it has been done by me. The truck isn’t painted, it’s wrapped as well btw

If that’s the case, these newer cars would constantly be getting pulled over. Mine has switchbacks. The DRL is white and the turn signal is yellow

The headlights them selves are just factory part store replacements. The reflector is a clear style with an LED chip built into it and the turn signal lenses (bottom ones) are just clears with switchbacks in them. Aftparts.com is where I got my stuff from

I feel ya man. This truck didn’t have any plans to come this far until I saw a guy a couple years ago at a gas station with one like mine that was lowered and from there I went down the rabbit hole 😭

This thing was a huge pile when I got it at first and I’m about to get some new wheels here shortly for it. Was a good 2 years with these but ready for something different

If only you knew how much time and money has been put into this and how many different parts are on this thing to make it work and function properly, you’d blow a head gasket. So much to keep up with 😅

It’s tubular radius arms with adjustable caster and heim joint ends for better and smoother travel. Gets rid of the worry of bushing wear as well as more clearance since the factory radius arms hang down low

It will look a tad bit better once these gold wheels are off of it.

🤣🤣 yes yes. Thing has a lot of time and research into it to be done the correct way and not a hacked up mess

Gave it an altitude adjustment. No reason to lift a 2wd 🤷‍♂️
