project boosted splash as many pics as i can

Well guys I have been on here for a while now and well...I finally decided to start a build thread up (maybe it will help to keep the motivation lol) so I will post a small timeline as it got ro the point that it is today...



Basically as it sat with the lowering done at this point it was djm 3" dream beams and cut splash springs up front and lowering flipped leafs out back whick had it sitting about 4-5 up front and about 6 in the rear lower than stock I drove it like that for a few years before it went under the knife

Then came shaving some stuff sooo... there went the door handles, tail gate handle, frenched plate, and a roll pan

Also as u can see when I did the shaving I also did fogged tails and fogged front corners and a billet grille

Well after this way done I decided it was time for some more fun and well I found that in the form of a turbo so I built my 2.3 with 8.5:1 forged internals, new crank, 1035 hg, 42lbs ford racing injectors holley 255lph pump, ported and polished lower and upper intake manifold, e3 exhaust manifold, holset hx35w turbo,saturn sky redline inercooler, 2.5" intercooler tubing, arp head studs, arp rod bolts, sniper tuning for my ecu, and well I'm sure some other stuff I'm forgetting





















Ohh and I also put a 2.5" down pipe to a full 3" exhaust no muffler no cat leading back to nothing but a 4" tip

Well yet again I hit anoth road block to where I just really wanna do something to it and well I started bagging it the #1 goal is it must lay frame and sooooooooooooooon I'm thing a sfbd......well here is as far as I made it so far


Bed off and start getting everything to clear




Got the front to lay pretty nice


Starting to get low enough




The frame is....well pretty effin close


Its about as low as its gonna go till the bd while sitting on a set of 17" mustang gt wheels

Look'n good bro.. nice start.

Hell Yea, i didnt realize you had done all that to it, looking damn good bro!

Thanks a lot guys I have already started the rear bag set up, I have the lowers done and am now going to build a wishbone to finish that off, then on the setting up the front!!!

Nice

Thanks keith

bro yr doing good

Thanks a lot man I'm trying hopefully soon I will be able to get some more real good progress

I love a Ford Splash. I had a white 93 single cab slammed on 17s back in the late nineties. Keep up the hard work.

Thanks man yea I love my splash and I can't wait till I can cruise it around again its been down for way to long already!

So I finally got a little time to work on the splash again and didn't make it real far before I ran into some questions I was thinking about running a wishbone set up in the rear but after I pulld my fuel tank out I noticed that there is only like 2inches between the driveshaft and top of the frame so has anyone on here ran a wishbone set up on a ranger and if so how did u clear the driveshaft?

alright well i pretty much figured that issue out but i need an opinion now......i amdoing a 3link wishbone setup so should i
1. bag on bottom bars
2. bag behind the axle or
3. bag on the axle into the bridge

i cant seem to make my mind up

Well got some time to work on the ranger today and got a little bit done on the rear end. I figured out how I'm gonna run the bags and started on the wishbone gonna be 2 straight bars off the wishbone and connecting to the axle once I get my last couple tabs and then on to the front........
Remember guys this is the first truck I bagged so any thanks for any input

well looks like you are starting to figure it out how you want to do it! looking good!......PROGRESS!!!!

Thanks a lot man and yea I figured I already bought the brackets might as well used those lol

shit balls!! thats alot of rust on the frame rails but i understand because i live in the rust belt too (Indiana). good progress man!!

At least I'm lucking out and it is all just surface rust plus ima paint it when its all finished up

What wall thickness is the tubing you're using on the wishbone looks thin?

1/8" that to thin?

http://qualityairride.com/steel-tubing/36-inch-pieces/36-round-dom-15-od-x-18-wall

That is the exact round and the square (wishbone) is 1.5 x1.5 1/8 wall
The square for the lowers I used 2x2 1/4wall

I think it is I would never use anything other than 1/4" wall on anything suspension related.

Hmmm damn ....... its already built this sux....
