It is just a Ranger body. It isn't like someone did this to a DD. Some people build fast cars for toys and some build big mud trucks. Idk about y'all, but I would beat the hell out of it and have a blast.

Ahh the lovely sound of a big block with open headers.

Those are duece and a half axles, they have disc brakes on them to slow the driveshaft. They get those off military trucks

When you put the engine in the bed like that, where do you put the air intake? If you could keep it in the bed, that'd be an awesome way to protect against hydro-locking.
