I picked up this Ranger 2 years ago bone stock and once in a while I get out to make it dirty. Sand hills, bush trails, mud pits... this Ranger has attitude. (I guess the driver might too)

After the first picture, I put on bigger tires, & now it really chews up the terrain that much better!

I wish I could suspension lift a few inches without costing so much!

This pit has a drop off when getting in/out. I crawled in & even so you can see the splash!

Here's more:

You need to take 1 or 2 of your pics down though. Max is 2-3.

Not being a #####, just letting you know before Tbar says the same thing.

Thanks. My bad. I forgot about that. I was thinking about the size and I downsized them before I posted!!!!

TheMediaGuy · 07-22-2011, 03:22 PM

That's a sharp looking truck SurferCat.

What kind of lift is on there? How much it cost?
That looks like about what I'd like to do to mine.

**Tbars4** · 07-22-2011, 03:40 PM

...Now, if we could get all these Rangers/Mazda B Series owners starting to fill out their own free "Ranger/Mazda Registry" here...

.. I bet we would have the best collection of trucks to read about and discuss on any Forum on the net..

josh40601 · 07-22-2011, 04:08 PM

only thing is that a lot of the pics are out dated.

..If I'm not mistaken, if you become an "Elite" member here and use the "Elite Photo's" to host/post your pics, your pics will be saved and live on for future readers of the site..

...I wish I would have posted all my pics as an "Elite" member instead of also using another service..

*vroomzoomboom* · 07-23-2011, 12:37 AM

my 07 fx4 level II, or as i call it, 007

second day of owning it

third week of owning it

three inch body lift, 33x12.5x15 goodyear duratracs, heated seat kit, explorer full console, explorer overhead console, stereo, amp, sub, and customized lower front valance thanks to banging snowdrifts at -27C >:[
no mud pics yet, haven't had time to play with it in the mud

almost a whoops. i even heard the hitch hit the ground

TheMediaGuy · 07-23-2011, 10:53 AM

Looks nice!
It sure is nice to have different seasons to enjoy isn't it?

I busted up my lower front bumper/valance the same way... do you have a more durable replacement or is it still plastic? I'd love to find something that doesn't break when hitting snow drifts, sand drifts or deep mud.

still the smashed up plastic, and i doubt i am going to replace it with another plastic one that the same fate will happen to. when time, and cash allow, i will get a tube one made.

Can you post a closer picture of how you mounted the steering stabilizer? I know it won't really work on my truck with my frame, but I'm just curious.

Thanks, Bro. I bought the truck new in July 99 and then lifted it in 2001. I added a Fabtech 3 inch spindle lift and 2 inch taller coil springs. I added 4 1/2 inch add-a-leaf and I added taller shocks. A year later a added a 3 inch body lift. I bought the entire suspension lift on Ebay for $600 with free shipping. A friend came over and helped me install everything in about 5 hours. Then I went right to the alignment shop and that was another $80 for parts and labor. My buddy helped with the PA bl the next year. That was fun. It was about 6 hours to do that!!!

*corkey* · 07-23-2011, 06:21 PM

my work in progress, 6 inch James Duff lift kit, and a 3 inch body lift,and gonna roll on 35's,
it's going a bit slow right now, but it will get done soon enough,
