gwaii, everytime i see something on here that you've built, i cant help but think of 'junkyard wars' and yes, i mean that in a good way, sweet truck btw

 

[gwaii]

'junkyard wars'

that's going back a bit-i used to watch that show religously,what-10,maybe 12 years ago.

too bad it's gone,the new copycats are no match.

i did too, loved it, still comes on the science channel sometimes during the day. i usually watch it on my days off....monster garage with jesse james was the only one that ever came close to being as good

 

[gwaii]

ya,that one wasn't bad...but good or not,i still watch them all-even motor city motors.

[gwaii]

Biggest Beast of a Ranger Ever!

Gwaii,

First, nice truck. It's ridiculous that you take something like a doubler build and make it look like that simple bead toy in a doctor's office.

I will let you know that I have been dreaming of a mid-engine street ranger for the last 7-8 years. I've thought of parts to use, calculated the center of gravity, and drew it in the margins of my homework when I was bored. I now see that I'm not the only crazy one.

You also just inspired me to run something bigger than a 351W.

What did you do in regards to the gas tank & fuel lines? Custom headers, obviously, but because you cannot run them below the vehicle? What motor mounts did you use to get the 460 to sit lower between the rails? I would also imagine shift linkage dilemmas, whether automatic or manual.

I just saw some of your other builds. Wow, man. Wow. You make some crazy shit. I don't even know...

V12 from an 89 Jag in a Triumph?
Manual rear wheel extreme steer in a shortened Explorer Sport?
Extended quad cab with original bed on a F250?
Chop top rangers?
The 4-linked TTB?
Your current setup with that articulation & 4 transfer cases + tranny?
And what is up with the Canadian maple leaf & the wheel standing BII?

What do you do for a living?

check the build thread-the answers you don't get there now will come in the near future.
