Crazy Ranger! AKA Tonka III

[Stic-o]

Ok first I must apologize...No pics:thumbdwn:


So I went to Ikea and on the way oper I notice a Solid Axle Yellow Ranger on abount 44" boggers with no front clip and a huge motor in the bed being towed by a F350. This was all parked in front of a little warehouse. :scratch: Hmmmm I said...

So on the way back I stopped and took a little looky and talked to the guys. Turns out the guy that owns the little hobby space works for ORU in the day time. He had a FJ40 they were working on, that they dubbed the bed and gave the front a lift-forward front clip. A late 70's Dodge pick up, a burban, and anothe chevy pick up. and then they hid a Hi-lux for playing with.

anyways back to the Ranger. it had a 60 on leafs under the front and a 14 bolt in the rear, and they were about to drop in a duramax in it Bit overkill for me...but what ever I guess it's spose to be shot for a magazine cover in the next 2 weeks. Truck has has Tonka III all over it, and a bunch other sponcers. He said he's built about 10 cover trucks.

Next time I see it, I'll snag a few pics

I've seen it at TDS last time if not the year before...I thought the Tonka thing went outta style in the 90's:

That's the last time I had the Tonka name on a truck:
