I drilled the center out and put a half inch bolt through it so it serves as a center limiting strap mount. This way the truck does not unload when going down ledges

to bad i blew the crap put of the front drag racing the White Rhone. I hit the 4wheel drive shifter when I was hammer down and ripped the front off. So he wins the battle of the rangers for now.

thanks i thought I would try something different the baja fenders work perfect for that because they are molded high enough to where the tires don't hit. The stock fenders needed to be trimmed to much.
twistedranger 12-22-2008, 12:29 AM I had the break on video but of course the tape was bad. The lower link broke and got shoved a foot into the ground. I wouldnt have been as bad if I had it on tape because then I would have something to show for.
twistedranger 12-22-2008, 12:52 AM how much did you take out of the front clip when you dove nosed it? Pics of the dove nose to please. I like the tube that you have put on that beast. Keep up the good work
I took 4 inches out of the windshield, i think 10 out of the grill, but then i had to take 4 out of the hood because I pulled the fenders back to fit the doors and the angle of the pinch.

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c110/MarioPortale/Krawler/100_4202.jpg
In the picture it looks like the shaft got messed up along with the rod ends. Is it salvagable?
twistedranger 01-07-2009, 12:53 AM ya the ends got flared so I cant screw the new ends in. I need to cut an 1/8 inch off both shocks to get to the clean threads and it will work fine.
twistedranger 01-10-2009, 12:24 AM got sum new parts like a 60

Revenant 03-02-2009, 01:25 PM This project is awesome. I like attention to detail and the blue that's being used. What color blue is it and where do you get it? It reminds me above a 'Viper Blue' I used on some RCs.
Thanks.

1TONZR2 04-23-2009, 06:35 AM nice man......I like the 205 mount, I am thinking about adding another one similar to that.
twistedranger 04-26-2009, 07:54 PM I would recomend adding another mount that thing ways 200lbs. It was easier to make a good strong mount suspending it from the top then tapping and mounting from the bottom. The lower skid plate also serves as a backup because it touching the bottom of the case
twistedranger 05-08-2009, 12:34 AM almost done with it finally

twistedranger 04-08-2010, 10:51 PM I finally finished my wheels I would not recommend building them. I should have sent them out to be re-centered

rstangboi 04-08-2010, 11:11 PM those wheels look badass
twistedranger 04-08-2010, 11:39 PM thanks took forever to clean up. I hope they work well i have never ran bead locks so now I can really push the limit of the tires

zainyD 04-23-2010, 05:45 AM Cool idea on the dash. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out!
twistedranger 04-23-2010, 11:46 PM I tried to follow the lines of the dash and roll them into the center , but it didnt work out that good

WHITE RHINO 05-24-2010, 09:05 AM weak hahahah you get the new tire yet? When i get my truck back together im running yours over
twistedranger 05-25-2010, 02:00 AM shoot you will need those bigO 44s just to hang with me. Im going to start running 35 again just to make things hard. That will be sic when you are done with your truck.
FbOmRxD 05-26-2010, 04:33 AM really like how the front end came out on this.
What size are your front airshocks 2.0 or 2.5's?
twistedranger 05-31-2010, 01:03 AM The fronts are 2.0s with 18 inches travel. I run about 400psi in them
