Snapped some photos from doing the BL on 02 rangermayhems truck. I'ma make him chime in and throw his pics up too.







Ahah safe way to drink and drive! Pictured- Dave aka "02rangermayhem"









My beast.

 

LOL the kid on the right is in my music appreciation class




We need pic's of it all done!

 

thats funny haha

 

Looking good. Why did you take the seats off?

 

x2 lol

no need to do that...

 

did you change the fuel filter while your at it?

 

its a lot easier removing the rear cab bolts with the seats out.

 

Lol! Dave is gonna be throwing the completed pics up.

And about the seats. Made life much easier. Seats took 3 min to remove, no biggie.

No, didn't change the filter. Didn't even think about it.

 

wow lol you guys did a LOT of work you didn't have to...

you should have left the headlights, seats, bed, taillights, console, etc and just changed your fuel filter

just had to point out the obvious...hope everything went well, I pm'ed you about helping, I'm off sat/sun if you need to finish up loose ends, I've done QUITE A FEW body lifts in my day I lost count now...

 

It is not that hard. Did not take my seats out.

 

we removed the seats to make accessing the cab mount bolts easier. 4 bolts each seat and 7 for the jump seats..... took 5 minutes each seat. and with the 4dr, you have to remove the jump seats. the rear bolts are right under the seat mount.

 

i got your pm. sent one back as well. wish you kevin or korey could have been there. we had to figure everything out on our own. wasnt easy but we got her done.

i pulled the headlights cause i thought maybe the wires would pull during the cab lift. did it as a precaution. i didnt want to leave them and screw them up.

as for the bed.... i pulled it to make cutting the filler neck and adding the extension easier as well.

for my first time ever doing something this involved, i think dumpedmk3 and myself did quite well.

 

thats my friend danny. hes like my brother. known him for to long. haha...

the truck is done though. got it done in 17hrs. 9am to 2am.

 

you also dont have a supercab. or a 4dr for that matter. the rear cab mount bolts are under the rear jump seats.

 

we only removed my rear jump seats lol not the front ones

 

we removed the front ones to make accessing all of them easier.

much easier to work when there was nothing in the way. 4 bolts each front seat is nothing. no biggie.... plus got the carpet out of the way too.

 

Heh, real mechanics remove EVERYTHING that might/could/maybe is in the way to what you want to get at.

Nice job!

 

wow whats with guys lately removing WAY more then needed your not the first lately... seen grills off and everything dont understand it...

Glad everything went well recheck all the bolts in a week

 

haha sweet.

 

Because it takes 10 minutes to remove, and gives you tons more room to work with.

 

I'll completely disagree, but not saying that you did anything wrong. I think its easier to NOT remove things, i'd rather work around the seats than remove em. We can argue it all day, bottom line is you guys did what you needed to do

I just take off as little as possible, I know I already said it. Only thing I take off are the bumpers and inside trim pieces, I don't take anything else off.

 

10 min for what i said everything extra you removed hell you dont even need to fully remove the bed just lift up...easy as pie your trying to argue with a guy thats done over 10+ body lifts lol... i dont think so... I did mine in my driveway last July with help of 1 member here Justin in under 5 hours in the dark lol... i know body lifts like i know how to sleep lol...

 

Who cares how they did it, all I care about is pictures of it all done.

 

I'm right there with you, I can count 10+off the top of my head right now...most are members here, and thats not including taking mine off, then putting it back on....

 

Theres no right or wrong way to do it. They both got done in the end didn't they
