I don't think you can keep calling this thread a "Budget" build any more...

There's NO budget on R5G but he'll learn.

As long as it's not showing $0.00 in my bank account, it's under Budget.​

Wait What?

I thought if you had checks you could still buy stuff?

That's the way that Grandpa and Dad have always purchased what they wanted or needed. Wait until you have the money saved up for what you want or need to buy, then make the purchase. Country boy economics 101.

Whoa !!! Major Flashback !!!
That's how I modded out my 1st Ranger... a 1985 Ford Ranger XLT 4wd Supercab in Metallic Blue. 2" Body Lift. 3" Suspension Lift. 17" American Racing Wheels. 33" BFG All Terrain T/As. Sawzall Muffler Delete. Homemade CAI. Cargo Net Tailgate. That truck was fast !!! It spent 1/2 it's life with all 4 tires off the ground. I grew up on 30 acres of rolling Ohio pasture land. My dad made the mistake of going to Hawaii without me so I fired up the bulldozer and carved out a track through the hills and trees. Crandon had nothing on my back yard except scale... I even had a mud straight and a creek jump. It was fun with the trucks but it was insane with the dirt bikes. That Ranger owned the track. It could climb taller steeper hills than any of the big trucks. It towed a 1/2 dozen heavy Chevy's that were stuck on a frozen pasture hillside after it thawed. That truck had an evil streak because it deposited a lot of that muddy hillside ALL OVER the hoods, grills, and windshields of those Chevy's. I pulled them all uphill to the street. I even allowed them to pay me for repainting their trucks in mud. I made it bullet proof. All paid for by checks. That was a different realm altogether. It was so much better than Earth 2025...

Well, it's at Lone Star Conversions getting the Bilstein 5100 shocks and struts installed followed up with a front end alignment. Then I will add up the costs for all of this. Still is going to be Cheaper than buying a new truck.
