Beautiful work man.

Whats the purpose of the residual valve on the brake system?

 

[exp24]

Just to keep enough pressure in the system to have minimal drag do you don't have to pump the pedal, we run a 3 psi and the brakes work great first push.

I wonder if that would help me some with mine.... (i seem to lose a ton of pedal getting pressure to build because of the inline hoon handle to the rear)

Must be a 4 psi, old CNC set up we have.

Front brake lines are done. Need to weld in line tabs

This worked out well. Still need to notch the motherfuck out of cab for the upper links to clear in the highest chassis side setting. This is the mid setting

Just cut the whole floor out, it's a fun time LOL

I love how you did the rear C-Pillar tubes coming out the back of the top of the cab...where they land is rad! Killer work

Thanks dude!

Rigid 377

I have a couple benders but the one I always seem to reach for is This

I got the sway bar mounted, toying around the idea of bending the arms a few degrees to get the linkage more squared up with the trailing arms since they are so long.

Also started framing in the back window, idea is to only make one cut on the bottom of factory ranger glass and reseal so If I need to make a replacement it’s easy.

Rear shock pockets started aswell

are you finding glass that glues in? Like from std cab? All the extended cab glass I have seen is bolt in on the bottom... at least on 93-97

Love the way you retained most of the rear firewall. Glad you’ve stuck with this project!

So much tedious work right there. Keep it up
