well have not done anything to the ranger yet been working on other things here at the house. I also have been building a set of gin poles for my old diesel so I can pick stuff up. But today I did get a chance to pull the tarp off and fire it up and run it a bit so I took some pics of it.

ya its not much to look at right now I plan on cutting the cage behind the cab and changing the cab out with a full enclosed hopefully if I can find one an extended cab and taking out the back seat and putting a tool box there its just the wife and me so I dont need the back seat which I wouldnt put anyone back there anyways.

I havent measured it but I would assume the same as a stock reg cab, Im not sure if they rolled it and that is why the cab was cut and cage was done like it is but I will be changing it as soon as I can find a donor. I joke around with my wife and tell her Im gonna pull the cab off my 2000 but the only way I would do that is if the engine or tranny went out before I found a donor.:D

not really, my wife used to work for a company based out of phoenix so we would make that trip once or twice a year but I would like to check out flagstaff some more it looks like there might be some nice trails out there.
