wow that looks awesome!:drool:
i would get it and keep it as a toy, not for towing, in fact i would tow it to shows lol
 
damn I thought it was a full size truck then i seen ranger on it lol I like it
 
The problem with those dually rangers is that they are usually either the JC Whitney kits or the crappy Toyota RV axles, both of which aren't true dually axles and actually make the rear axle weaker by putting more leverage on the outside, killing the seals and bearings.
 
Install a true dually axle. Problem solved. Who has the next problem?
 
the first one has a 5 lug, when diesel duallys have 8 or even 10 lug, and the tire sticks out double from the bed side...the inside wheel is flush so it looks like an adapter was put on for the extra wheel
 
I think it looks weird, too wide for a ranger
 
and definitely not used for towing, at least not anything big. theres no hitch
 
I noticed the same thing, the class 3 hitch is missing AND there are no eyelets for safety chains AND I do not see wiring hook up for the trailer.

Its there to look kewl Not tow anything.

not mine personally, a buddy had a truck identical to this one and came up to me one day and asked if i could convert it into a duelly...? i'm always up for an interesting project and the out come was actually quite nice, he got newer f250 lights installed and a friend of his did custom fiberglass and built a new front clip that looked like a miniature version of a mid 90's 250, only three weeks later to get t-boned and written off. found this pic on google just reminded me of his truck
 
I wonder how much these can tow now I'd say at leats as much as an f150 if it's geared right

Is that a for sale sign in the front window? How much was it?
