Blackeagle’s Build Thread

[Blackeagle]

I removed the hook and thimble from my winch line and spliced in a plain eye. With a soft shackle this means no metal on the winch line.

Wow!! Those are beefy and certainly won't be a failure point. Nice welding, too.

Week before last I got my Long Range America tank installed down at Rogue Offroad in Vegas.

I did a road trip out to Texas for the eclipse and the range with the new gas tank is just tremendous.

I installed a set of Redline hood struts (aka front dampers).

I am curious what your empty weight is with a full tank. Someone else brought up the payload hit. You might be over loaded with a friend in the truck with you. Always had 1 tons in the past so I never cared to add stuff. But his comment got me thinking.

always had a thing for green trucks too since that green they had on 2004 super dutys. Sure is a sharp color. Like the font end as well, like it can go through walls.

Awesome build and awesome color too! I love the green!

New 33" tires on new 17" rims (posting this a bit late, I actually got these last summer).

Tire brand, size?

And offset? I love the stance and shape on that thing.

Tire brand, size?

Nitto Recon Grappler (compromise between off-road capability and good on-road manners) 33x12.5.

And offset? I love the stance and shape on that thing.

According to the invoice, they're Method MR70178560500, which I think are 0 offset? Sorry, like I said it's been a bit since I had these installed.

I finally got a lighting setup installed on my ranger.

Some bumper lights:

And some ditch lights:

They're obnoxiously bright, which is kind of the idea.

That said, this is probably the light that I'll end up getting the most use out of:

It's installed on the inside of the capper's back window so it can illuminate the tailgate when I've got it opened up.
