yea, the ranger should be sweet, full width, low and big tires and a cage.

The f350 is getting pulled apart, the axles go to this, the engine trans and tcase are being sold and the body and frame should hopefully make me some scrap metal money

Update: Worked on it today, got the main hoop bent, and notched. The sub-frame bars got welded up. The hoop got tacked in and so did the a pillars. I gusseted the frame to cage mounts. I got seat mounts in the mail that I ordered from trail gear. On Saturday we plan to be about 70% done. Pics are self explanatory, and always if you have any questions ask away!

We made a bunch of progress today and of course I took tons of pics and forgot my camera at the shop. I will have pics on Monday. We got the seats mounted and the mounts burned in, it should be driving out of the garage next week. Also we may be doing a 3 way trade/tire buying, so I will be getting a good deal on some 37's most likely

If I didn't have to come up with $9000 cash next year for school I would be all over that but I have to start saving as soon as my truck is wheelable or else I can't afford school. As soon as I am done though I am going for 40s or bigger

I will probably bedline just where your feet go, the rest will just be painted at some point...
