Tuckin Eh Mar 28 2004, 01:31am brad, (droppedon18s) told me he can't make it that day.
2002BlkKhaos Mar 28 2004, 09:47am This is going to be a good meet, but we need to have one at a later time this year cause there are more than a few guys bustin ass to get their trucks back together for the show season (I would assume). I will be there for sure, but we need to have a meet later in the year for sure so everyone can sport their trucks they busted ass to build.
Well, luck to all and see you guys in Brighton.
Jeff
ChrisF Mar 28 2004, 12:25pm I probably won't be there now. Gotta finish shaving a guys taillights, molding roll pan, finishing leds. Things like that to his truck.

And Another guy was there and mentioned he had 3-4 buddies coming with trucks soo were looking good.. Something like 20ish truck!! Hope all of you Make it, If so i think we'll Have one of the biggest meets on RPS...

04lvl2 Mar 28 2004, 07:50pm Ok my truck is cleaned and detailed ready for the weekend. It will sitting in the garage all week away from the nasty weather and rain that is expected. Any forecast for the weekend yet??
turboplz Mar 28 2004, 09:25pm Supposedly it's supposed to be about 52 with mostly cloudy skies as of now....it'll probably change 10 times before saturday though, lol.

MXRacerCam Mar 28 2004, 11:43pm i'll be there in the svt.....
xxblackxx Mar 29 2004, 12:18am me and RedRanger4.0 should be there. My buddy with the yellow splash (was at the last one) sold his truck, so he wont be there.
As for the guy in standish, I havent seen him post since the pictures thread from the last meet.
Who knows. I am heading back from school on thursday night so I can detail the inside (it's a shade of flint mud, and reeks of smoke) of the truck and polish/wax the outside.
Rangeron17s Mar 29 2004, 08:29am Sounds Like were gonna have a really good showing.. Any one care to take pics and post???
CUSTOM99 Mar 29 2004, 11:14am man that sucks i have school at 1:00
Dan01XLT Mar 29 2004, 11:42am I'll try to remember to bring my camera. Then I'll have to figure out how to finally post some pics. I'm gonna try to get my truck cleaned on Friday and hopefully the rain is done by then. It won't be perfect but it will be alot cleaner then it is right now. I got overspray all over the cab when i painted the frame and don't have the time or the weather to wax it right now.
L0wRaNger Mar 29 2004, 02:01pm I got a nice camera and will charge my batteries and take pics..i'm sure a buncha people will bring cameras...I can post them too.
I will be there...but unfortunately my truck won't. :(
Rangeron17s Mar 29 2004, 02:29pm Rent a trialer and tow that BAD BOY!!! i think thats what scrapinframe is doing... i think u-haul is like 40-50 for the day... just an idea
BullitRAnger Mar 29 2004, 04:48pm Im in but i'll prob (80%) be sportin the stang cuz the rang is undergoing suspension modification (3/4 drop). I wanted to have it done in time but now i got bumped up to OT so..... its kinda been put on the back burner.
95Rangerxlt Mar 29 2004, 05:14pm Lowranger that sucks i was really looking forward to seeing your truck in person. uhaul is an idea. Whatever. see you all there. NATE
xxblackxx Mar 29 2004, 08:01pm Ill bring my digital camera and post/host pictures.
getkrunk313 Mar 29 2004, 10:27pm i Think i will be there fa sho
skruba Mar 29 2004, 10:34pm can't make it truck just got moved to the booth to be painted
04lvl2 Mar 30 2004, 07:06pm Ill bring the digital camera and camcorder if needed.
Rangeron17s Mar 31 2004, 11:08pm 2 1/2 more days... So theres a good 30 of us that post on the boards from michigan, Sure theres more. But we got a rough idea that 22ish Trucks will be showing up.. Thats Awesome.. HOPE you all make it, should be fun.. ill be there at 12 and scrapin was talking about coming out with me so look for my truck and scrapin's if we tow it out!!
Dan01XLT Mar 31 2004, 11:39pm Just wish the weather was nice this week. My truck looks like **** cause i couldn't get it waxed and it wasn't warm enough to finish painting my interior.:(
xxblackxx Apr 01 2004, 10:18am Im heading across the state tonight so I can start cleaning tommorow morning. Hopefully it wont rain saturday.
tribalsplash Apr 01 2004, 06:40pm I can't make it. I have to work on Saturday(just found out I'm being forced in). I work afternoons so there not enough time to go from Imlay City to Brighton and then back to Romeo. Besides the truck still in the barn anyway.
Maybe next meet we can have on a Sunday afternoon. They can't force me to work on a Sunday.
2002BlkKhaos Apr 01 2004, 07:06pm I don't know if I am going to be able to make it now. I got my suspension drop on my truck, BUT Belle Tire made me wait around for two god damn hours to tell me that it would be a two hour job, they can't use my parts, it's $80 a side to install the washers, and it's another $50 just for the alignment. I got a negative camber, and they were like it's huge, it's about 2 degrees.
The guy who put my drop on didn't put the bolts and washers on cause they would have had to basically been removed again just to get the right camber. So, I do not want to drive the truck too much or two far until I got my Alignment installed. I am looking around right now and I am going to call Dearborn Total Automotive and Rony's Body Shop tomorrow to see what they would charge me and how long it would take to do the install. I guess they gotta remove the control are and sh*t again so that they can install these damn bolts and washers, and they might not even be the right ones for the application.
I am just really frustrated and I really wunt to make it out to the meet, but I am not spending $200+ on an alignment from Belle Tire when they have no concept. If anyone else around here knows where I can get my front aligned for a DECENT price, that will use the Belltech Alignment kit that I have sitting here. Feel free to PM me or contact me on AIM, because I really want to make it out to the meet and have this all done right!!!!!!
Sorry for the long ass rant, but it's been a ****ty day. The drop does look tight as hell though, now it's just a matter of getting the front end aligned correctly for hopefully under like $200, if not then hell just let me know of a place that is actually good at what they do.
Jeff
BullitRAnger Apr 01 2004, 07:10pm stang for sure, can i get an address/mapquest plz
Rangeron17s Apr 01 2004, 10:02pm Yo Jeff man... you brought that on yourself.. they are stickin a BIG D*** in ur a$$... Scrapin could have had that hook, dropped, and rollin... (side Note) F*** Belle Tire.. Its an easy install why are you gonna drop 80 a side when its 15mins a side in the back and 30 in the front.. also YOU can drive on negative camber all of us that are bagged do it every day.. in my eyes you got no excuse man.. SO ROLL THAT THING!!!! not meaning to be an ass but your getting a load of **** from belle tire... HOPE you make it and
SAT is suppose to be 57 and SUNNY!!!!!!!!
2002BlkKhaos Apr 01 2004, 10:08pm Thanks for the help almost. I didn't want to have to be flamed or some sh*t, ya know, but ya had to do it. I'm not going to say sh*t man, that was honestly pretty uncalled for... how the hell did I bring that on myself? I didn't have scrapin install it, sorry that was a sin man. He has a crunch time now and I am gunna bother him with my sh*t? I have to have it aligned somewhere, so whatever man... thanks for the help, and have fun at the meet guys.
I'm outta this sh*t, I thought this was a group of coo ppl not ones that flame you for where you had your sh*t done or who did it.
Tuckin Eh Apr 01 2004, 10:59pm whoa dude, chill. I serioulsy think you took that the wrong way. Oh well i think he's basically saying never take your ride to a "generic" garage if you want it done properly and cheaply. they always rip you off. heck I learned my lesson. everythig's done in my garage from now on. I seriously hope you change your mind and decide to show up. one more ranger is always good. especially a fellow dropped 98+ i was looking forward to seeing another one or 3 or 4 or 5.
Rangeron17s Apr 02 2004, 01:15am Truckin Eh---- << exactly what i ment... B/c i've Done the same thing and PAID up the butt to get it fixed!!! if you go custom your 9 times out of 10 better off trying it yourself b/c odds are thats one of the first, if not the first they have done it... And they mess things up and later down the road your paying more then what was really needed at all...
Were all cool, its a sport a few of us are more competitive then others but when it comes down to it were all on the same level. Stock or Totally WILD!!! dont get me wrong i LOVE showing up s-10s but the rangers gotta REP!
Yeah you took it wrong no beef here or doggin... we all learn, better to learn from other mistakes then have to learn it on your own sh**. But Yeah Show up its gonna be worth the Drive...
And No ONES gonna "Flame" you unless you start REP'in a FIRST ASS AUTO logo.. atleast Livonia's. taylors Ok... lol
ScrapinFrame Apr 02 2004, 02:59am Ladies Ladies... Man can't we all just get along !!! You all are some funny Mo Fo's fo sho.
I just can't wait for the meet caus eI just got my new APC light up floor mats..and they're tight son.
So peace ...homies Live long and prosper.
Chad what time and where do I need to met ya so we can roll out there together....hell hit me up on the 2 way today ( Friday )
96blue Apr 02 2004, 12:58pm hey got a prob guys. my truck wont start. its got a new battery in it. need suggestion. thanks
pat
95Rangerxlt Apr 02 2004, 01:17pm 96 blue check your starter wire and starter solenoid. Or tow it to the meet and let some of us take a look at it. By the way I washed my truck today and i hope the weather stays nice for tomorrow. See you all there. NATE
96blue Apr 02 2004, 02:37pm thanks for tha help but i fixed it
ericcoon Apr 02 2004, 05:00pm I stayed up late last night and waxed the truck for tomorrow. I tried Zymoz wax and it is the best wax I've ever used. My truck looks brand new. See you guys tomorrow.
2002BlkKhaos Apr 02 2004, 05:25pm Yea sorry I flipped guys, I just had a really ****ty day yesterday. I called around and spent some cash getting my truck aligned properly at Downriver Alignment, they were really cool to me, and the Belltech Kit didn't work for my truck so they had to put different washers on it. Like someone on another thread said the kit is kinda hit or miss, since with the 02 they decided to change little things.
My alignment isn't perfect, but there is only a small negative camber. It's to be expected with 3" drop coils up front so ah well. Again sorry to ya Chad bout' flippin' I just had a really f*ckin' bad day yesterday. I never want to step foot in another Belle Tire, I was just looking for an estimate there I didn't want them to do it. Then they flipped at me there saying all this garbage and whatnot.
I'm gunna make it, I just gotta wash my truck. Actually I need to scrub the hell outta the truck. It is a filthy vehicle, outside atleast. By the way I would never goto the Livonia FCA. I went there once just to look at stuff and the guys were jerks to me.
Well, I am going to be there tomorrow prolly around 12 or so. I might be rolling up there with krunk and his friend if all plays well. Later guys and sorry again bout flippin out like a jackass.
Jeff
ScrapinFrame Apr 02 2004, 07:37pm it's all good in the hood.. Come out have fun and be merry !!!

here tha address
98FourCyl Apr 02 2004, 11:23pm I'm definately goin. BTW, I forget who was askin about my 98 2.5 engine that I have for sale, were you still interested in it? Or is anyone else?? I'd pack it up in my bed if ya were and you could get it tomorrow. I'm askin 400 for the engine, without all the A/C stuff, and 500 with (compressor, condenser, evaporator core, accumulator/dryer canister, and all lines.)
The engine does need a wiring harness, and I took the cam and followers out thinking i was going to use it in my turbo swap, but found out later that I couldn't, so they'd have to be put back in.
Engine had 80k on it when I took it out.
