bad *** i will like this build... do you have any pics of other trucks... ones you got your ideas from... i just want to know what direction your going... you going to back half it and leave the fenders so it still looks like a ranger... or full cage the rear end and put a bench seat beck there...
good job, glad you decided to put your truck under the knife... i remember awhile ago reading you didn't know if you wanted to cut up this truck and was considering selling it...
truck looks good as always...

its mainly an image in my head, got a couple ideas from other trucks but nothing major
oh probably not, it would be a pain to cut off since i welded it on.

it will have the bedsides on it, and still look like a ranger from a distance.
its a ranger at heart! plus driving down the road if you took a quick glance you know its a ranger.
