    Local Legend Vital Designs Regular Cab Ranger

    Yea Christian tried this when it was out almost two years ago. He got the start of a hole drilled and then it just wouldn’t go anymore. Chewed up a cobalt hand tap we bought really quick.

    Driving it around in February for a couple days, the rear seal on the trans was non existent. Leaked a ton of ATF everywhere I drove it. Plus my drive shaft was pulling out after entering drive ways /turning at lights because we hadn’t tapped the tail shaft of the trans to hold the driveshaft...

    2025 OFFROAD EXPO OCT 4-5, NOW MOVING TO OC FAIR GROUNDS..

    didn’t they do it here once during Covid? I might have it mixed up with something else. But If so, it’s gotta be because there’s more and more empty space at Pomona each year. After last year the future of the event didn’t seem all that promising unfortunately

    RPG issues

    The poor fitting on the fiberglass made me chuckle. Swear 90% of fiberglass just fits like shit now a days especially if it’s going on a bougie raptor, think the average raptor guy learns that the hard way haha. Bought a McNeill fiberglass hood for my ranger and the thing wasn’t even usable...

    Ranger I Beam Questions

    Yea I’d keep an eye on marketplaces with cash ready and buy an older set of used beams. Not some junk extended stock beams, I’d go camburg if possible. I sold my whole entire old front beam kit down to the autofab mounts. Just all depends how much you want to spend really

    Got my brake lights figured out today, the brake light wiring is tied into the BD RTL bar so I used that for time being. Really happy with the RTL bar having the ambers, running lights, brake lights and a center white cargo light 🤘🏽 Super close to a street drive in this thing, just making...
