Dude that is a sick clean Ranger.. Looks like you removed the 60/40 eats for 2 buckets and added a middle console.. If so how hard was it ? Did you have to weld a new setup for the seats? I personally hate the 60/40 setup and IF an easy fix wouldn't mind updating my interior some..

well actually my ranger came with bucket seats but traded them for 60/40 seats a while back so my son and my wife could both ride with me. well ever since my wife got a new car, i wanted to get bucket seats back so i got new seats. it was alot of work to use the 60/40 sliders on the new bucket seats, there was alot of cutting to get the proper heighth and some welding involved.

so how do u like ur SAWs? i have 2.0 10" and im gonna get new 12" bodies and shafts to convert it to 12" travel from bryan. if im not mistaken, you got ur beard seats from him down in san diego.

Ya I love them..their hardware seems to be beefier than others..2 of my buddies are running kings and they don't seem to hold up as well.
Ya I think that is who I bought the seats from.

ya, well King bodies are aluminum unlike the SAW bodies. brian lets me in on all kinds of info about the manufacturers.

i will only buy SAW and Fox shocks.

You have no idea how incredible I think your truck is! Did you do a right up or have any info on your SAS? Any info would be appreciated.

this is pretty much all the info i have on it. i did the swap in 3 working days and had no time to take pics and all that crap since its my daily driver.

ill be glad to answer any questions that you have.

i had to get some protection since some jackass decided to destroy my factory bumper.








things dont line up after some jackass hit my truck last week!

thanks man. ive still got some reenforcement to add to it which will make it look a bit better. i also gotta reenforce the frame a bit more.

it is possible to get a lower profile with a dana 44 from a 79 ford. it doesnt have the upper control arm mount above the pumpin so that would give you atleast 2 more inches of clearance so you can drop it that much lower. or you can keep the 5 on 4.5 by using the same axle as i and just cut off the upper mounts and use the same radius arm setup as the ford axle instead of the 4 link like the jeeps. i hope this made some sense

Yup, total sense... and thanks.

FWIW D44 from the Rubi is a great idea and I think it is where I will be later on down the trail, time will tell.
Good job and it is good to see someone using something other than the D60.

ltr,

looks great man keep up the good work

You mentioned that you would be interested in making bumpers for anyone liking your work. What you charge for something similar to the one you have on your truck?
