I wanna see pics of that extended CV. Why did you need to do that? The lift?

 

[Black mamba]

Glad your hear buddy !!

I wanna see pics of that extended CV. Why did you need to do that? The lift?

you can't tell a difference. But yes it is for the lift. RCD comes with spacers to help but I got some custom ones that were extended from RazorsEdge. They were from the first RCD lift. I guess they were deciding if they wanted to include extended cv's or not.

 

[Redneck_ranger]

I guess you need em because of the amount they need to drop down?

 

[camodown]

Yeah, I didn't have them or limit straps at first and the first time I flexed I over-extended one. Then I learned about the spacers that were supposed to go on stock CV's

 

[Hurley]

One of my favorite trucks. How bad is it if you don't have the spacers? I just bought an rcd and I don't know if I have em or not.

 

[camodown]

It will be fine until you try and flex it out. You can call RCD and get them. That is what I did, they are like 10 or 15 bucks a piece I think. I would get limit straps as well to keep from overextending your coilovers.

They look like huge washers that are about 1/4" thick or so

Love the truck man!

 

[Redneck_ranger]

Ouch dude. Bet that went well trying to get back out of there.

 

[Hooligan]

Great garage dude!! Friggin killer Ranger!!!!!

Ouch dude. Bet that went well trying to get back out of there.

Cv wasn't that big of a deal. Not knowing I had any inner bearing go out kind of put a kink in it since I couldn't get a new axle seal and bearing where I was until a few days later.

 

[camodown]

Thanks Clinton. Liking the new front end you put on

 

[Hooligan]

Thanks! I really like it too!

Everyone else is askin questions, so I will too! It says hidden snorkel on your list of mods. Where did you put it?
And also, do you have pics of your rifle carrier?

 

[camodown]

I have a valve that I run open and it is just like normal or I close that & just run thru the snorkel that goes into the cowl. Gives me about 14 inches of height.

and no I don't but it just goes across the back of the seats. Attaches at the headrest & then underneath the seat.

[timbits588]

awesome truck! you have some really cool mods done to it too

 

[El Camino Man]

That has gotta be the coolest thing Iv ever seen! Is that valve a kit you bought or made it yourself?

 

[camodown]

It is called a gate valve. I think it is for fish tanks or something. You have to cut it down to make it flat as possible so it fits and cut a new hole in the air box

I hate you and your damn black/gray '03 buckets. I hate the look of my black/blue '03 LII buckets.
