[PaleBlue90]

just ordered my rokmen bumper and winch plate. gonna probley order a blue torch fab diff cover. i did all that sunday. yesterday i went and got my new shocks,and my add a leaf putting them on 2day

[PaleBlue90]

so i added the 2 inch daystar coil spacers, and 2 inch procomp addaleaf. i need to add a leaf or 2 in the rear, beacuse its sagging. im wishing i wouldve grabbed the coils that were on the ranger when i junked it. these spacers are a temp deal. taller coils would be better. i got my winch plate last week, still waiting on my bumper,and diff cover....

i went snow bashing last weekend with my friends and my buddys cousion in his yj. we were up on mt hermen

You better hurry up and splash some mud on that thing, or you'll find yourself dropping the axle to degrease and paint the whole assembly. :D

It does look nice!

[PaleBlue90]

thanks a bunch, i washed the truck today.....when i bought it the rust was bad but that crap they put on the roads has rotted my rockers away....i need to go play at CORE's mud pits

[Hypoid]

I don't know much about the sploders. Can you replace the rockers with square tube? ;)

[PaleBlue90]

im not shure if i could, ill have to look into that. that would make a sweet hidden rocker armor

[Starkman]

If the rockers are like Rangers they are only for show covering the frame. I always thought it would be easy to do and not reduce side clearance.

Try it!:thumbsup:

If the rockers are anything like what is done on my ranger it can be done and that is a damn good idea, man you guys keep giving me more upgrade ideas all the time, at this rate the ranger will never be finished LOL.
Only problem I can see with doing this is there is no structural areas to mount to like you would normally do to the frame mounted style but after some looking at it Im sure something can be figured out.
