When you say "I lost a beside" did you not see where it fell off? Sorry to hear about the damage on your truck, but a prerunner is really fun to have. At least now you have a true prerunner off roader just like in the baja 500, 1000, etc. When your 2.3 over heated did it blow up on you to where the engine is toast?


I love that first picture of the Ranger jumping. That is some very good travel you have there.
lol no I found the bedside, still gotta put it back on. Engine survived just runs goofy, im just gunna hope it keeps gettin me around till i do the 4.0 swap.

Wut tires are those?
its the new cooper discover or somethin like that. It's a cheaper tire ($140 a tire) but they have a good warranty and i think they will hook up better than the other A/Ts when aired down.

Man this thing is looking GREAT!

You wouldn't happen to have any pictures of behind the front skid plate with the front of the frame would you?

So I see you went with the 4.0 instead of the V8. Should be easier to put in and better on gas. Is the Ranger still your daily driver or did you puck up something else?

And those corners look good.

What year 4L is that your putting in??? When the 4L is put in that 97 should really move in the dunes.

Perfect! so do you basically just cut the end of the frame rails off then box them in and add the tube work for the skid and bumper?
