Project: Danger Ranger

My dd/wheeler

2005 ford ranger, 4x4, 4.0, v6!!! All stock but the skids!!

For wheeling I dont want to go so tall about 4inch lift and some tires and rock sliders.

First day it came home


First mod


First snow wheeling trip (All Stock) MT Rainier


First hard core wheeling trip (All Stock) Tillamook State Forest


First trucks boo boo

 

Just got my lift in and my cb and antenna!!!!! Lift is a super lift 4 inch, payed 900 for it but shipping was 250... But is brand new got it off a guy on ford ranger forum. Going to sell the rear blocks and lift the rear with 2in lift shackles and explorer springs.




CB: Cobra 29 wx nw st, Night watch, Fully illuminated display for night wheeling!
Antenna: Wilson http://www.rightchannelradios.com/wi...b-antenna.html

 

Good deal! What are the wheel/tire plans?

 

Awesome deal! I'm jealous. I have a big dent in that exact place from trying to navigate a super tight turn in between trees on a trail. Throw up some pics as you go man this is gonna be a sweet ranger

 

looks like its gonna be good.

you wheeled your ranger stock like that?? how'd she do?

 

Good start! When does the lift go in?

 

Thanks guys!!! Wheel and tires im thinking Mickey Thompson classic locks or just the classics. For the tires im think BFG all terrain.

My truck did pretty good!!

 

Nice truck. Looking forward to seeing the lift on it.

I don't know how anyone can take a nice clean truck like that and smash it up offroad.

 

Josh........I be trollin' ya thread!!!











Good deal on the lift!! Can't wait to see her on her(giggity). Just remember seeing what 10" rims do to our trucks with flares and a flexy rear end when you're making wheel choices! haha.

 

lol everybody hates on my 8in wide 4.65 BS wheels but they fit in the fenders and keep my flares on the truck!

 

Got a part for my rear lift!! All I need is explorer leaf springs and super lift drive shaft! O and tires and wheels.

 

Sub'd. The truck will look awesome lifted.

Are you going to stay with t-bars or are you going to swap to coil-overs?

 

t bars for right now.

 

Just got my leaf springs, they only got 122k on them, and i need to replace the bushings on them. Lift should be on soon!


I got a jarry can at a estate sale for 5 dollars and came with a new Jerry Can Nozzle Spout Flexible Metal!!! Had some rust on the out side so I sanded it all the way down to bare metal and repainted it. The inside was clean, no leaks. Well after letting it sit for a week, I put gas in it and some gas spilled on the out side and now the clear coat all messed up, I don't know what to do now....

 

Got my lift on! It went pretty good, I will be taking it to get a alignment done tomorrow.
Thanks Mike (mikerider ) for all your help!

 

Looks great Josh, glad we got it done! Get it aligned and it will be time for some tires!!!!

 

once you get wheels&tires it'll be set.

 

Looks awesome! Gonna be a beast with some new wheels and tires. Whats your plan for gearing?

 

how long did the lift take to put on?

 

took us about 10 hours to do, would have been closer to 8 but one of the lower ball joints was toast so we had to replace it.

 

Went out to Oregon - Elk Lake to do a snow run with gitout!

800's are gonna ride stiff, you plan on any extra front weight? I'm also considering those foxes for the rear. Please let me know how you like them when you install. Truck looks good but I'm partial to blue trucks. I also like yo video, it's nice you added music but its not overpowering like some I've seen others posted.
