Default M0RRIS' build thread

I think it's time to start one.

I've had the truck 2 years now and it's really taken form in the last few months.




First day I got it.



First off-roading trip a week after. Long travel showdown at silver lake in Michigan.



I traded the ranger in for it. Ranger had a coilover conversion at +2" over stock, a set of AAL's, 265/75R16's, was a manual with the 4.0L and 3.73's. I miss it but love this replacement.

This is a t-shirt, I found it on amazon. It's fitting.



I painted my chrome tip black.

You can barely see it but I bought some black lug nuts for it. They have rusted a bit since but still look better than those chrome/silver ones.




I removed the bug guard in preparation for....





An EAG/paramount grill. I don't have the cross bar installed as I don't like it. The previous picture shows how it's mounted. A couple screws on each backing plate. I lucked out, a member on here made a post about wanting a factory 6 bar one that came on the FX trucks. I offered mine in exchange for her to purchase the EAG one for me. She bit, PayPal'd me the amount which was a lot cheaper 2-3 months ago. I haven't hooked up the lights yet but I plan to.



A different angle

I received a set of vent visors for my birthday. They are the slimline ones.

A package came in a couple weeks ago. I finally was able to pick it up. 1/4" spacers, when there's a break in this craptastic weather I'm going to rotate tires and install them. Pics to follow.
