Welcome to the site. But the pictures don't show up on the other site.
Be sure to let them guys over on the other forum know we now have new custom built herders for the spread port and duel port engines available again for the D50 and Mighty Max trucks. It took some doing but now we have the try Y headers again.

Welcome, was wondering if you would ever sign up over here. I logged into dsmtalk and still can't see the pics.
welcome to the forum.
welcome. nice ride..and work.
Thanks everyone, I actually did not know this site existed, hence why I never signed up. I dont have the truck anymore sadly, but have plans to find another one day, or a montero sport/radier, either way would like to help out folks if possible. Terrribly sorry about the pics, I dont know why they dont show up, ill pull some from my home computer and post some up so everyone can see it. Not that its super great, but it was fun!
Welcome to the site. Did you ever get that 4g63 swap done? I know that thread was a few years old.
well now u know and u are here. good luck w/ finding ur nxt project.. and yes, pix are always great! im curious now. lolOriginally Posted by sleeps
A few teasers... near to how I bought it, then half way through... ect.
Well the links are not small enough, Ill have to adjust and try again. Sorry.
Cant find an edit button, that pics was just for size reference, has nothing to do with the thread or the truck, but I cant find how to remove it now. Ignore it if you will.
This is just what we like to see. A new guy finds the site, and jumps in with both feet. It's like facebook for mechanics.

Ill post more later, here are just a few of the "in proccess"...
looks good sleeps. is that new carpet there? if so, where from?
There is new carpet all over ebay for around $120, can custom choose colors too.
1987 2WD Mitsubishi Mighty (R.I.P)
1984 4WD Toyota Pickup (Sold 10/12)(Rolled and Totaled 3/24/13)
1987 4WD Power Ram 50 Custom (Scrapped)
1991 2WD Ram 50 (Scrapped)
1992 Ford F250 7.3 (sold)
1999 GMC Yukon (DD)
1988 Ram 50(project)
Yes it was new carpet from oreilly's, had to cut and se more than one piece to fit. But it was cheap and worked well. Here are more pics....
and a few more.... hope its enough. lol
thats it, then i sold it, motor went bad and then swapped it for a junk yard one and its still going strong.
Paint used was duplicolor ready to spray red from Oreilly's, with cadillac pearl for flames, and a universal 2 part clear all sprayed inside my garage one panel at a time. Front end lower lip was from a junk yard 1st gen s10. Had to cut and extened to fit the bumper. Enjoy!
Oh ya, and cut front springs and removed middle rear leaf along with a 1" lowering block. Hood was a custom mix of jet black and duplicolor silver flake base coat for candy colors. Headlight conversion with nokya stage 2 artic purple bulbs, and a custom painted fake carbon fiber fuel door.
good job man! it looks awesome in that last pic in post #15.. black wheels w/ the chrome center. curious, how many coils did u cut off the front springs? and was it hella bumpy after?
I think it was one full coil. And no it was not bumpy after, not any more than it was already. I did cut the bump stops and installed new shocks at the same time.
Damn it turned out really nicegood job ! keep us posted if you do more, and welcome to the forum
it looks like quite a significant drop from stock, but only one coil? I think its that s10 lip that gives it a lower looking stance too. My suspension is completely stock now, but the rear end is pretty stiff.. I think thats common on our trucks huh?
I thought you looked familiar. you went buggy at DSMTalk when I posted a pix of my Turbo setup...
Remember this?
@ ikeepz: I "think" it wa one full coil, its been a couple years since I did it, so I am not 100% sure, but I do have them sitting in my garage so if someone knows the stock coil number I can compare, or for sale if anyone intrested.
@ LSR: Remember it, I got that mofo'n pic saved foo! Along with alot of info we talked about regurading your build and what I was planning to do. Including the 1g dsm turbo electronics swap and such.

What kind of herder? Sheep-herders? Goat-herders? Cat-herders?
thnx for the info sleeps.. I'll see if i can look into it and find out. how many coils does that garage pair have left?
