That truck is retarded. It was at SEMA last year when I went. It has 1/2 ton axles with roughly 46"- 50" tires (dont remember the exact size want to say 46's), not to mention it is 2wd and doesnt even have a tcase under there, it only has a 2wd tranny connected to the rear end. The owner and builder of that abortion should be shot.

It's absolutely hilarious how much shit people talk about things and other people, even though they have no knowledge about what they are talking shit about. Let me explain. That big ass Ranger is mine. I happened to find this posting while messing around on the internet, so I joined this little forum so that I could respond to those faggots that have decided to talk shit about me and my truck.

Do you know me? Do you know my truck? Do you know why I built it the way I did?

I set out to build the biggest and baddest Ranger ever. As far as I know, I've done exactly that. I don't know of any other Rangers, anywhere, that are as big as mine, or as wild as mine. I built every bit of that truck myself. I built the entire chassis. I built the engine. I built the suspension. I even built the fuel tank. With the exception of some help with the bodywork, paint, and fiberglass (I did have a hand in all of that too) I built EVERY FUCKING THING on that truck! Not only did I build it, I built it from a stock Ranger to a running, driving truck with 39" of lift in only 3 months.

As far as the shit talking about it not being 4WD, not having a transfer case, and not being able to take it offroad....... You are correct. It is not 4WD, but I did not build it to be an offroad truck. How many trucks have you seen that big that do any good offroad? Yes, I used only 1/2 ton axles. I used them because I needed a wider footprint so that it was more stable. 1/2 ton axles with anything over a 35" tire don't do well offroad. THIS IS NOT AN OFFROAD TRUCK! I drove the crap out of it EVERYDAY with those 1/2 ton axles and it never once broke. Where have you seen me claim that my truck is the biggest, most badass offroad truck out there? Where have you ever seen me claim that it does so awesome offroad. When have you ever heard me say such things? I know it sucks for offroad, but who fucking cares?! I didn't build it to go offroad. The body has been completely shaved/painted, and it has a fully fiberglassed interior. Who in thier right mind would take that offroad? The picture you all see there was when I had 46's on it. It now has 52's. When it was featured, on the cover by the way, in Mini Truckin' Magazine in Feb. '08, and featured in Truck Trends (a Japanese truck magazine) in Feb. '08 also, it had the 52's on it. When it was at SEMA, it had the 52's on it.

To those shit talkers, what have you done? What have you built, with your own hands, that got worldwide recognition? What have you done that's worth a shit?! What have you built that was able to be entered into SEMA, which is by far the hardest car show to get your vehicle into? You don't know me. You don't know what was put into my truck. You don't have any fucking idea about my motivations for building that truck. I wanted a beyond crazy custom show truck, and that's what I built. I built EXACTLY what I wanted. I built something that all of America, and even Japan, have seen. What have you done?! The only exposure your truck probably has had is your slideshow pictures on your MySpace. I'll be the absolute first person to admit that my truck isn't an offroad truck and that all it's good for is driving on the road and going to shows. So what? That's what I wanted, so that's what I built. If you don't like it, that's fine. I don't expect everyone to like what I built. There are a shit ton of people that do like it though. If you don't, fine, but keep your faggot ass mouth closed!
