i found a kit that converts a toyota to a flat bed

does anyone know if this would possibly work with a little fab work on a ranger, or if anyone has done it before

I don't see why it wouldn't work. Of course, for a little fab work, you could make your own and save a lot of money.

Yeah, I don't really see the cost justification with going with this kit. From the pictures, I looks like the 'yota frame comes up kinda high in the rear, but with a little fab work, I'm sure that you could adapt it to a ranger...

You said "flat bed" and I was thinking just a little more "industrial"
than that

"Does not include diamond plate, or spare tire mount. Kit requires welding and grinding to install, 'most' parts are cut to finish length. No instructions."

so you are paying $500 for a couple of pieces of bent tubing.
Seriously, build something custom, you can make something far more badass than that for a fraction of the cost.

well considering a good dom bender hand made at that and dies will be a minimum of 300 bux most of the time, the kit is rather cost effective for someone remotly located without access to a dom tube bender. also remotely located is tough to buy cost effective tubing too. tubing isnt cheap these days, and deliveries are way up.

but a hf bender and sch 40 would probably net similar results for 250 bux provided you already have the welder or a way to get it welded. :dunno:

I have a flatbed frame if anyone is interested. 7' long by 6' wide. Heavy solid tube bumper, taillights and a 2" receiver for a class 3 hitch. Includes a mesh headache rack. Needs modifications to fit my supercab and I just found another bed to replace my smashed one so either I sell the flatbed or the stock bed.
