So what are you building this truck to do? Crawling? Trails? Or everything because its awesome?

 

well it doesnt help that i sent a text to you 12 hours earlier than you were expecting it! haha

 

run trails, like at the badlands, and some other guys run wellsville, ohio and up in canada. mainly rocks / hills. But I am also building it so i can adjust the suspension some and run out in the sand.

 

Anything you do with this truck will be sweet, I can't wait to see it, I might have to start goin to these trips

 

day before i left i pulled this off the superduty... as you can tell i was having some issues before i left.



had to lift the cab...



crappy design and too much work!

 

thats sucks zach...up going to upgrade at all

 

What was wrong with it?

 

how did the new truck pull it? do you have a tunner or anything yet?

 

Rangers looking good Zach. Sucks bout the 250 though, looks like a nightmare.

 

holy crap that makes for a huge rig with that truck and trailer! looks so sick all together. so Hows it feel pulling the ranger with the new duty?

 

damn... o well

finally some progress we can look at again! how long u expect to take before giving it back to nick?

 

it was a very big rig -- he pulled in the parking lot and I was like damn..I looked for like 10 mins on it..no pics my hands where dirty from loading axles unloading axles, loading DOM and junk..never even thought about it..DOH...

 

no, trying to keep it somewhat stock.

plugged engine oil cooler, the coolant system on this engine is trash, next up is timing cover and probably water pump as well as a new radiator.

awesome. i ran the Spartan 210 Tow the whole way running 75mph and still got 12mpg pulling 11k pounds.


night and day difference from the f150. this thing has some serious power.

 

Glad you got the 250 fixed up. Looks good pulling that beast!

 

Sucks about all the problems with the F-250, but man, the Ranger is looking good and it's a sweet lookin rig hooked up to the SD.
