1989 FX4 BII, resto-mod project

moral of the story: it doesnt matter as long as it's cheap

 

[4.0B2]

def color match IMO

 

[Boggin]

yeah im thinking it will look less cheap and tacky rather than if it was black.
but the black would match nicely with the rims, bumpers, tint, grill, mirrors, skidplates, chassis, etc

 

[kris97ranger]

i think painted would look best

i say green. hey, where did you get the black lug nuts and how much? i want some. (they are the only thing on my truck that's shiny)

 

[--weezl--]

I was thinking about getting a set or mine also, black steelies, black headlights, black tail lights.... But I've got silver centercaps, and silver ranger badges... Personaly I'm not a fan if the fully blacked out wheels, which is why I decided not to get them...

 

[4.0B2]

which is why i like my rims.. black, chrome lip and accents. procomp 8089's. and i got them less than $100 a rim.

Nice! My 4 steelies were like 390 with tax

Got a shit load done today. removeable doors done, put the front axle back together and new black lug nuts on 1 wheel so far. got her mostly hand sanded all over. Pics uploading, also got pics of all the lights on at night.
Im on my iphone so just give me a minute lol

 

[Boggin]

pics speak for themselves.

Yeah I got a REALLY good deal on my procomps thru 4wps. Even got my lugs and valve steams for free. It was actually a little over $100 a rim... I think mine were $406 after taxes and all.

And boggin'-- that thing is looking good!

 

[88_Eddie]

did you bedline the wheels? did i miss something? i've been drinking....

 

[Boggin]

nope RockerGuard
thanks men

 

[Boggin]

And im gonna put on the sunvisor i had on the ol b2. its more of a centimental value than the looks of it

 

[88_Eddie]

sun visors can look good on older vehicle IMO

 

[Boggin]

yeah. on newer rigs they suck ass

 

[rockin86ranger]

Idk there was a 1998 ranger here that had a visor on it that looked really good. So when is this thing gonna get sprayed?????

 

[Boggin]

A dude i know sent me a message asking if i wanted a '92 4.0 with m5od 4x4 trans. gonna see what kind of deal i can get on the full sploder if he still got the whole rig

also took the bumper off the b2 to do some work on the valance and some finishing touches on the bumper so ill leave it off now till i get her sprayed again. i might end up making a different bumper yet idk.

 

[--weezl--]

leave it off, it looks aggressive without it, just clean up the wiring a little and robert is your mother's brother!
