StealthRanger's Build Thread!
Well, I guess I will go ahead and start one of these! I have not done a whole lot yet, but it is getting there!
 First day I bought the truck.   Bought a new primered front bumper and grill, and painted them black. Also bought all new headlights and blinkers to replace the old foggy ones.  Took it to Car Toys, and had them do the "Paint Rejuvenation" on the truck. (The person before me had never maintained that part of the truck.) Before:  After:   Installed Pro Comp ES-3000 shocks and a 2" block kit below my factory block.    Had a new Flowmaster Super-44 exhaust system with dual 3" black tips installed at the local custom shop...    Installed a Reese hitch.   New headunit!   New speakers!   New amp.    New sub box, with a Quinn 10" sub!    Installed a steel mesh grill over my sub. (I've seen too many subs accidentally get damaged!)  Random pics...   I did not like having that much lift with just blocks, so I pulled the bottom block out, and did the Pro Comp Add-A-Leaf's!     While I was under there, I also replaced the front shocks!   Also, I finally cranked my T-bars!  Before:  After:  Went and got it aligned, and the shop also gave me awesome deal on a camber kit! Had to replace my upper and lower ball joints during that whole process as well! Moog FTW! Well, I guess that is it for now! Hopefully I will be updating this thread often. I leave you with a couple random shots!   My truck in the victory lane at TMS during the "Laps For Charity" event.

Re: StealthRanger's Build Thread!
Man that truck looks good! Did u crank the t-bars all the way or just a few turns?I was scared to crank them to the max so I gave them both a few turns.The weird part was that I only turned the passenger side a few times but had to turn the drivers side several to get to match the passengers,then my cv boot started to make a annoying noise.Thats when I found out my hubs werent free wheeling so I bought some avm manual hubs and that was that after the alignment of course!

Thanks man! I appreciate that! Yes, I pretty much cranked them all the way. Because at this point, I rarely put the truck in 4x4, most of the time I can make it through whatever I'm doing in 2WD, so I was not to concerned about my CV's. I had to do the same thing on the drivers side that you did. Had to level out that Ranger lean! Lol!

Lol! I know! It's horrid. I'm still trying to find a JY that has one. So far I've not had any luck. The cheapest retail one I found was $400  I'm thinking about just getting one custom made...

The custom muffler/exhaust shop I went to was able to order them for me. I'm pretty sure Summit has some similer ones. And yes, they are totally heat resistant!
