Needs a little more trimming for bigger tires but I’m okay with it for now considering I have no idea what I’m doing.

It took me longer than I’d like to admit to just get one fender to not look like absolute shit, but it’s getting there.

Progress on the rear suspension, new coils and limit straps are in. Decided on fabricating lower links and an adjustable panhard bar once that’s done the rear should be finished.

Got bored waiting for some parts to come in for the ol ram 2500 while it was on the lift. Grabbed some tubes out of scrap pile and made some extra structure for the long arm brackets.

Rear shock mounts are finished, still need to get some limit straps back there.

Thanks, I’ll definitely look into that, I was getting H2 coils but didn’t know anyone made aftermarket links for these things.

Got the rear shock mounts cut off and started mocking up some taller mounts for the bypasses. Fenders showed up the other day as well. Haven’t really had time to fuck that project up yet though.

Had a skid plate cut for the front bumper, got the tabs squared away then got some paint on it. Now I’m waiting on fiberglass for the front, in the meantime I need make a decision on the rear suspension and get started back there.

A couple more thoughts I had going forward. I’ve never tried to mount my own fiberglass before so that’s bound to be a complete disaster. The inner fender structure I’m sure is still tweaked up, the core support took some massaging to get in. It’s sitting on 33” toyo m/t’s and some kind of...

Building something off such a retarded platform presents some issues. The Escalade ESV is full time AWD, I suspect this thing will eat up CVs like it’s fuckin cool. Probably will strap it an inch or two higher than what guys normally run on these kits and see where that gets me. If it turns...

Stab the engine back in, order some of the finest reproduction parts the internet has to offer. New core support, radiator, trans cooler, AC condenser and we have a gorgeous running and driving caddy again. Decided to put a chevy front clip on for a couple reasons. Well, mainly to run...

Hey guys, I wasn’t really sure which forum section to put this in but I have something a little different here with this one. Why is it different? Because it’s fucking dumb as shit. Anyway I picked up this hot rod a couple years ago with 188k miles and some minor Escalade to John Deere rubbing...

Hi guys, I’m from middle of nowhere north east Colorado but travel out west for desert trips as often as I can. I love buying project vehicles then never finishing them. Picked up this ranger a couple years ago and haven’t made much progress (none) but I do have most of the big items for it...
