duelly ranger
heres a idea i think it would be awsome
a duelly ranger with the fiber glass flares for the bed 5 lights on top the cab(like u see on duellys) and wide come trailer mirrors theres a company that makes kits i found the flares for the older rangers but not the new here is the site www.arrowcraft.com |
Doing that to a Ranger would be the equivalent to putting a big wing spoiler on the back of a front wheel drive single gear tricycle.
|
I have seen a few older ranger and s-10 that were converted to duellies and had cargo boxes instead of regular beds. It different but I dont know if I would do that to my truck
|
worthelss because rangers dont have enough power to acutally need dual wheels to support a load....
|
i was kinda thinking it would be cool to get an older ranger, reinforce the frame, make it a dually and put a diesel in there with stacks
|
they acully had a deisel dually back in the 80's neet truck and there is one around town its like a 89 ranger lifted 9" with dually and 36's i think. its pretty deferent for sure
|
ghey
|
ok well scrap that idea
|
100% Ghey! Thats the first time I have seen that!
|
There was An exact replica of this thread a few months ago. It was discussed. The ranger does not have enough power to need the dually axle. Hell 1/2 ton trucks don't even have a dually option!

To make use of the power/towing capacity you would have to extend the wheelbase at 3 -4 feet to be able to haul the kind of trailers that would hold that much weight with any kind of stability.

Evan (HighRollerII) Thinks its cool idea! Way to be diffrent!
|
Could be all right if you put a bigger engine in and beef up the suspension...
|
what if the dually idea was for mud bogging?
|
Theres no point. With a dually axle with big tires, the tires have to be skinny (10-11" wide MAX). And if you get 40+" tires they come as wide as 18"+. It would be a waste of money (2 extra tires and wheels) for not a whole lot more tire. Also the skinny tires have alot smaller tread lugs.

i have an old thread kinda like this, i thought itd be cool to see a newer ranger dually. but if they actually started making duall rangers, ghey....
|
i seen it done on a ranger where the guy put the fenders from the bed of a flair side and put them on a regular bed ....looked really cool...but he had just 18" wide wheels in the back and not dual.

I thought about doing this to an older ranger and putting a really small dump box on it and reinforcing the fram and suspension. I have a landscaping & maintenance business, so I am always thinking of different things to do. --BOB-- I have also seen this done to older tacomas and datsuns.
|
I've been wanting to do this for years.
|
There is a old like 88 ranger duelly that drives around where i live. Its different but i would never do it.
