The mighty made it home last night after about a year of some much need TLC. Today its getting cleaned up and fluids changed and gonna go for a drive. The next few months are gonna be busy gotta redo the bumper mounts for a tighter fit and gonna be doing a five lug swap to update the wheels. After i get that done its going for a one off interior.

This project has been on the blocks for over 2 years, are you close to completion or has it been done and just not posting for that time?

The updated front looks good, nice to see some chrome on trucks since everything is going plastic nowadays. All clear light covers as well.

[dragginmits]

Thanks man Its getting real close. I got a little side tracked with other obligations. I bought a house and had to get it habitable, as well I went back to school to become a cnc programmer/machinist and consequently started a new job. The interior and stereo is my main focus right now. One of my close friends runs a trim shop and he is gonna do a one off interior in it. After that the only other major project is to convert to a 5 lug setup and get rid of the 80's wheels that were on it when it bought it. This truck is supposed to be my daily when its finished. Im trying really hard not to get too carried away since I'm in the middle of the build on my bodied Ranger also

[dragginmits]

Sorry about the bad pics it got dark before i could get them. I'll put up some better pics tomorrow. The seats are in and the floor is sound deadened I'm gonna get the power wired to them this week and hopefully drop them off to be covered.

Made some progress on the truck today finished putting sound deadner in. Did the roof, back wall, and inside the doors def gonna make a difference when i get my stereo in. Also got the power wired to the seats. The plan is to get the new carpet in tomorrow.

[geezer101]

What noise matting did you use? I don't see dynamat stamped all over it (I have heard some not so good things about dynamat in regards to it's solvent resistance...)

[dragginmits]

I used FatMat Mega Mat it is a butyl based mat. I am very pleased with it so far. It got very good marks on most of the audio forums I checked out. I do not recommend there lower end products. This stuff sticks very good and installed very easy.

[bobbyk]

The truck looks good man. How about some pictures of the bodied ranger?

[dragginmits]

Got the carpet in to day Ill trim it down a little closer after I get the plastics cleaned up and wrapped. I think it turned out awesome here are a couple of pics and one of the headliner and my ranger. you can see more of my ranger here (http://www.rangerpowersports.com/forum/projects-builds-and-restorations-/233135-project-ranger-resurection.html)

I like the interior and that ranger is really nice. Good work!

[dragginmits]

thanks, the ranger has def come along way from where it was a few yeas ago. As for the mighty it should be pretty sweet when i get it done. It was supposed to be a reliable and comfortable daily but the more i do to it the more it is turning into another full blown build. I don't want to bag it ,but it seems finding a decent set of aftermarket wheels is nearly impossible. The only solution is a five lug conversion, and if i swap an axle it will get linked and bagged. On a side note I dug out some of my stereo equipment that has been collecting dust for years and i think I'm going to make use of it in the mits. I've got some pretty cool ideas on how i can incorporate it into the interior probably going to start working on that this weekend if i have time.

[dragginmits]

ill just leave these here

[pennyman1]

Your pics are missing on your posts...

[geezer101]

Those awesome wheels look like a set of old school Neales. This is one very nice truck dragginmits you've built. Red and charcoal grey has always been a killer combo :thumbsup:

[DroppedMitsu]

Pic's aren't working for me either

[camoit]

That's because there Way to big.

The guy need to resize them to 700 X or under. We have a free picture resizing tool in the link section. He needs it bad..

[dragginmits]

How do I resize them? Didn't know I could do that.
