So since ive last been on my truck got stripped down and painted all the body work done, got factory color plus a little shine, i also got it pin stripped to match new wheels. I just bought 06 mustang rims sitting on P-Zero's. And got new lights and blinkers and other boring shit... Got the motor freshened and ignition stuff, let me know whatcha think(dont worry if u dont like it its ok, thats why i call it mine) lol:icon_thumby:

Awesome! I bet it hauls ass.

Needs to be lowered some though...looks kinda silly!
 
i love it im 17 i hauls ass enough for me lol, and i thought about that but in person it looks good that height imo, its got a body lift of an inch to help fit the heart.
 
that SICKKK

i would lower the front 2" and raise the rear 1"..seen a ranger around here that had a 351 and front lowered 2" and rear was up 1" and 12"wide tires on the rear and she looked badass
 
i had 10-1/2 on back but the offset was so screwed up it would kick rocks over the paint and the pirrelies hold just as well only being 8in wide so, ya idk in time i may lower it for not its fine where it is
 
yea i love how she sits now, but if i would lower it thats what i would do, i like that shes a little bit high :D
 
Very sharp :) I really like the new wheels. The only thing I would change would be to replace as much of the rubber fuel line with hard line as you can and maybe wrap it with heat reflective tape where it goes from the wheel well to the carb. When I have used that tape in the past I used the smallest size zip/wire-ties at the ends so it doesn't come off. Just a thought,cooler fuel makes for more power :) Also if you use fuel injection fuel hose it will last longer and be safer,with the stuff they put in the gas these days it seems regular fuel hose doesn't last real long. Again....very nice Ranger!
 
i wish my valve covers were that easy to get out!

yours look so easy... mine were a complete PITMFA

if they are as easy as it looks to get out, maybe you could take those off, paint the raised parts red to match... would accent really nice! i really like colored engine compartments... they look so cool to me.
 
That there be one purtty truck! Almost makes me want a street truck, but I am in the process of building a car for playin with so . . . . . .

Click to expand...

dude mine was to..those 2.9s are crammed up little critters, espically cause i have a/c and all that shit, on my donor they can come off in a second
 
thank you and ya it is FI line from the pump to the engine bay, and ya suprisingly everything is rather easy to get to but the radiator....o the radiator what a nightmare lol
 
lol i helped my bro take one out of his stang {302} it was a pain

was everything a bolt in swap? hold hard was it?
 
ya street trucks sure are fun i love it specially since its been a father son project and i bought it, so its way better when its urs and when it brakes i know how 2 fix it unlike most of the kids around me getting handed there shit, beleive me i need help from mommy and daddy some times2 as far as money but not that bad lmfao
 
to be honest i bought the truck half done the mounts and shit were in it and so was the motor i just had to finish the cobbed up shit that was done, but ya it wasnt to bad, my older brother just bought one like mine and were are gunna build a 347 stroker to put in but well see how his project goes i see it as a nightmare, but little man knows nothing
