Finally got my ranger on the road after fighting to get the title straighten out for the last year and 8 months. Been done with the suspension for about 4 months now and i have changed a few things which are in my other thread. Since i had her out I took some flex shot today.













The last is pic is me and im 6' 1".
So far im pretty happy with it and have alot of future plan for it.

 

Wow, it's a nice truck. The wheels and the chrome grill are pulled together nicely. It would look sweet with some 06+ mirrors in chrome also.

 

Nice looking truck!

 

Holy hell! Nice work dude! That is great looking and one of the cleanest SAS trucks I have seen!

 

Nice truck!

 

Sick truck! Looks great!

 

Thanks guys.

 

truck looks absolutely amazing!!! nice job. whats the backspacing on those wheels? i think i want mine just a tad wider.

 

It reminds me of Matt's before he hacked the **** outta it.

 

Gorgeouse truck with a spot on stance. whats do you have for the drivetrain? you mentioned another thread but i didnt see it with a quick browse. whats the approx lift height and tire size?

 

Heres a link to my axle swap.
https://www.ranger-forums.com/solid-...-build-131913/
Its a dana 44 up front out of a 79 F250 and a Dana 60 Rear. Motor and transmission is stock and i just swaped transfer cases for a older 1354 so i could have a speed sensor and a front yoke.

I dont know offhand what the backspacing on the wheels are ,i got them used.
Thanks guys for the comments.

 

just gott ask, why thornbirds?

 

I got a really good deal on the them. Why not?

 

Awesome looking truck.

 

Very nice! Looks like the ranchos flex well.

Got any idea on how much uptravel/droop you have in the front?

 

Looks good!

 

heard they are as good in mud as a BFG AT. When is your first wheeling trip?

 

Thanks
Im also surprised at how they flex. Could of gone more, never lifted the tires off the ground.
I never measured the travel while i flexing the truck out.

 

Dont have 4 wheel drive yet, ordered my rear gears today and they will be here wednesday and hopeing my mechanic can install them next week, Then redo my crossbember and get a drive shaft for the front. I dont have a wheeling trip planed yet, just saving up to get it four wheel drive. I know the tires are not going to be the best in mud and that fine with me.

 

Got my gears for my rear axle last night. Wont be able to in intall them till next week or the week after.

 

Also got a pic of the truck nect to a stock ranger at work.

 

Whats gears are you going with? Looks like a beast in that last picture.

 

Going with 5.13 gears. Already got the front regeared to 5.13.

 

This showed up today! Will be installing it tomorrow!

 

Cant wait to see this pig done and back on the trails. Lookin good!
