97 Ford Ranger EXT cab
302 V8 5.0 w/new TH400 tranny
+9 over equal length Beams and x over steering up front strapped @ 22" travel
3 Linked strapped @ 28" travel everything new in the rear end w/spool
32 Gallon fuel cell
1 3/4 bumper-bumper cage
King 2.5 bumps and coils on each corner, Had bypasses at one point but looking to buy new ones in the near future.

Looking to re-paint entire truck either hot orange or nevada blue..haven't decided yet. Currently making it street-legalish
Putting back together entire interior with all the windows, door panels, head/tail lights, all smog equip and other misc. stuff I find laying around.

As is sits right now the front tires are donuts because it just came off a trailer and I havent put the regular ones back on yet.

Any suggestions for paint color/decals?? Sandhustlers logo and decals coming off in a couple days. Progress pics to come.

Sick truck man. Go blue and do the graphics in white, at least that's my opinion. If I could do my truck up I would go all black with bold white and blue graphics.

I vote for blue.

So lets see some naked pics of the tube work.
