Pretty sweet, did you mod it yourself or buy it like that from someone?

[RaceRanger97]

yeah i know...all my passengers seem to do it even after I tell them not to while offroading. I plan to build an interior cage soon and that will hopefully end the problem.

How much cash have you put into it so far?

[RaceRanger97]

How much cash have you put into it so far?

Looks like a nice kit, should go with heims on the rear of the radius arms though, to maximize your travel. That kit should give you about 15'' to 16'' with some good heims.

Yeah, Im gunna put this kit on and see how it feels then maybe go with the heims. Right now im workin on making space for an engine cage whill keeping its driveability considering it is my DD. Awesome lookin truck by the way, If thats yours in your avatar. Hardly ever see any other standard cab prerunners out there.

[prerunnerrunner]

Be careful with how you mount those coilovers, because having the mount that close to the spindle may cause your tires to rub the spring when you bump out. Spend a little cash and get some good bumps, you can find them used on www.dezertrangers.com for about 200$. I would go with a 2'' by 4''. Also for the engine cage you could pick one up from giant motorsports that will bolt in and allow you to keep your a/c, all you have to do is mount the battery in the bed. This web site is awesome but if you are more into the prerunners you should become a member of dezertrangers also. There is tons of builds on single cab shortbed rangers on there.

[bmonee5]

lol.

[RUTH]

that pic...is just awesome...:icon_hornsup::headbang:

[RaceRanger97]

Oh wow this is old lol .. Thanks koda!

To answere the question, I bought the truck with the front bumper and that old tire carrier was part of a bedcage that I had bought. Therefore I have no clue who made them.

[straycat]

One really killer Ranger, Bro!!!!!!!!! I really like it!!!

[BroKiller]

yea it is too bad its a single cab. how many ins over r your beams? your racerunners look like mine!!

[koda6966]

Personally I'd rather have the single cab.. seems like it would be lighter to me. Less frame and body to weigh down the truck. For a daily driver though I'm a supercab or bigger kind of guy.
