Thanks guys, the picture hides a few things lol.

Coolhand my ranger does pull pretty dang well, even with a 7" lift and 35"s believe it or not. That truck is bulletproof thats why I still have it.

We can help you on the interior, just bring it to Ohio? Check out this 22 Scarab redo:

XT you guys do awesome work, but I don't think a trip to Ohio would work out anytime soon for me. Plus i'm in the dealership biz, so I have a couple of contacts here around town that I would keep my business with, on a professional level of course.

More cubes is the plan in the long run, not this summer but probably by next year. I want to get everything else running right and get the paint/interior updated first, because the 302 runs decent now. Volts drop below 12 when more than 2 acc. are running, both batts are load test just fine. I think I may just rewire the entire thing.

if you go under the post a pic of your scarab thread mine is on page 10. i contacted upd today and they said that a 86 and 87 windshields are different!!! wtf they look the same to me except mines 3 pieces i like yours better it looks newer. but if i did the one you have did u reuse your frame and brackets or did u get one from them?
