Not one for lowered trucks but...

I personally believe an S10 should be lowered before a ranger gets lowered but this ranger is actually pretty sick. It's a buddy of mine that skateboards professionally for a living... Anyway just thought I'd share these pics and see what you all think about this ford.

I like the skulls on the paint job.

















What do you guys think?

As a hard core minitrucker, I am not feeling that at all. Interior is hideous, the wheels look like they belong on a Hummer and the paint while well done, makes my eyes hurt.

And it also looks like it's on hydros with is another minus point.

go take that thing down the road and hit a bump with it, there will be no more paint I don't see why someone would lower a truck that much, can't even drive the damn thing around..

Nonetheless the paint job looks really well done, Just not my cup of tea. Those trucks only look good lowered so much as far as im concerned but thats just my opinion. Nice work though!

Yeah.. Lol Maybe its new to some people. They can air it out, lay rocker, door, etc, and drag down the road, or they can air up the bags, and drive a few inches higher lol

I like the over style, but I'm not at all a fan of his wheels, and while I respect the work and time that the paintjob took, those colors are ugly. To each his own..

Those are hydraulics, not bags. I don't like that truck at all, just like most mini trucks I see. The whole minitruck style is too gaudy for me. Most have ugly over the top paint jobs, and if they don't they are either flat black or some two tone that you'll see on 1000 other trucks. They always go over the top with the interior too, stupid fiberglassed dashes and gaudy upholstery. I've only seen one Ranger I liked a lot that was bagged, it's a 06+ blue one with a chrome OEM grill and really clean. I like bagged trucks, but not over the top ones like this thing.

As far as the comment about driving it, it's just a show truck. It's body dropped, you couldn't DD a mini truck thats body dropped unless you were a midget. Plus it's on hydraulics so that wouldn't be comfortable the slightest bit to DD either.

Yeah, I'm not exactly crazy about it being on hydraulics. I wish it was airbags. Then...well, it has the potential to be badass.

The truck looks cool but the paint scheme sucks and the interior sucks to.

I can't believe how some of these guys think you can actually drive a truck that low all the time, LOL
