'95 ranger prerunner project

[Brandon@BTF-fab]

Here's some pics of a truck we just finished.
started like this, leafsprings and an ugly bedcage:

then we decided cutting it all off and starting fresh was the best route:

and, away we go!

it worked pretty good, some more shock tuning and it will work real well

so you back halved it we must assume 4-5 link? the works? bumps, smoothies, and coilovers?

Yes, backhalf, BTF 3-link, coilover/bypass/bump at each corner. redid his old engine cage as well and swapped his old beam setup for some Threat Motorsports beams and radius arms.

more pics in a few minutes. I just wanted to get a thread started this morning and then realized I have pics in several places, haha

I hope his cab cage is up to par with all those performance upgrades! Nice truck and nice 3 link!!

Thanks a lot! yes, the rear wishbone is kinda ridiculous, all 1.75" x .120 wall, but they take tons of sideload force, so why not overkill it, right?
the steering was all built by me (BTF)
a couple action pics from the clean-dezert event:

Saw this truck in all of its various build stages, and it came out badass. The pics really dont do it justice at all.

[cybergasm]

So when is the back half on Seans Explorer gonna start?

 

[Tbars4]

...Sean's motor took a dump...

 

[cybergasm]

ummmm yeah that why i said that.^^^^ it would be a perfect time to do it while it is down for the motor issue

 

[carlover]

no back halfing for the explorer. There's no need for it. Its sitting till around March anyways.

 

[dkchrist]

That thing is sick!!! Great work!!!

Thanks for all the positive responses guys. I'll try and post up more of the projects I'm doing on this forum. I've been a member for a while, just don't post up much since most of you guys seem to be into the crawly stuff.
