Oh man. That looks great. I love the forest. That front bar setup looks expensive. I need to look into one though. Looks a lot easier to maintain than the stock bumper. Was that front bar pricey? If you don't mind me asking?

 

Not too pricey. I bought a trail gear low profile front bumper for a Toyota pickup and made it fit. And then I made the stinger myself. All in all I have just over 400 into it. Then another 400 for the winch.

So many nice trucks here!

 

Super-mario

Nice truck. Black is so nice when perfectly clean. Love the wheels. Great job.

Happy New Year
Jim

 

Thanks man! Yeah it looks good for a couple hours then its all over hehe. In the sun all the scratches stand out xD

 

Those taillights look great on that truck!

@01RangerEdge: Are those concrete blocks I see at the rear? PLEASE tell me they are not... that is dangerous. However, I love those transparent wheels!

 

6x6's with tractor trailer flooring. The flooring is screwed to the 6x6's

 

Glad to hear that! Didn't want to see a memorial thread in your honor :)

 

 

Nice looking trucks guy's. The blue one in the air. Call me weird but that is art. Just floating there. Can't wait to see what you do to it.

 

Thanks. Have you checked out my build thread? This phase is a pretty big step for me. 1 ton axles and a 4BT Cummins.

 

01RangerEdge

Will make it to your build thread soon. Love the work you are doing.

Got to say the 5 speed makes a night and day difference for towing.

 

little bit of frame flex

 

=============================
Took me a few months to get my donor vehicles and it was finished middle of July 16.........

Used 00 Explorer AWD 5.0L engine & trans, the 4x4 chassis I used had 3.73's that I stayed with, as the Expo had 3.55's. Complete swap was a bolt-in.

Only mod I did was the exhaust, ran true duals from cats back into 40 series Flowmaster dual in - dual out and tailpipes out the back where the spare used to be that dump just before the rear bumper.

 

Love the V8 conversions you all do. The only way I will get a V8 is go to F-series.

 

If I ever engine swap, it'll be the SOHC. The V8 is awesome and I'd love to have one, but too many downsides for me to justify actually going through the work to do it.

 

There must be programing issues and such. My favorite engine for the Ranger would come from a Chevy. The trailblazer inline 6. 278HP. I'm pretty sure it would fit. The gas mileage might be better. Its programed to move a heavy trailblazer around. It does a great job of it and can tow 5k pounds as well. Its a 4.2L engine. I bet it would fit left to right perfectly. That one doesn't have limiters on it.

But that kind of stuff is out of my ability.
