Looks great man! Great to see you managed to get it down to the rails even with the beams in place. Seems i may soon have a ranger project on the go too..picked up a '90 tonight.

Chances are I'm probably just gonna static drop it using springs from a newer ranger Splash. I do have other plans for it though. I'm mainly thinking unibody and walk through with the cap that comes with the truck.

hahah thanks bro. im glad theres alot of people who like it. i figured since i was keeping the beams alot of people would hate it

i think its just added attention! haha

bag that ranger dude, i would go and do a traditional body drop to mine, BUT im 6'1" and tehre isnt much headroom as it is, and my bench seat is already sitting on the floor damn near. so i can only do a SFBD

i cant modify the actual timing cover, so i have to do something to the hood, you shall soon see

and tuck, we would only have to sfbd the cab... i wonder how hard it would be and how long it would take us?

I dunno man, just to get the cab done maybe 2 weeks. put everything back together and drop the bed to match and hooking everything up i dunno.


You could see if u can drop your engine mounts as well... every inch counts.

Notch it like the guys do s10s when they put in a LS style V8. They just cut a notch out of the top and plate it back together.

LMAO! when i dont have to work 7 days a week to pay for this HOG!

trust me, i want it now, but when i get it i have to put shocks on the front and back, keep doing the body work in the bed alot of crap... but now i have enough money i can buy ALMOST anything i want for it. so its good

and hes only had it for like 2 - 3 weeks. hes in my club, so its cool

i mean he bagged the front for me for free, and gave me an inspection sticker! lol, took it to the last show for free and it placed... so im not worried (yet) lol
