i like...i'd go broke buying tires though

Looks kiler man. I dont know how you stand the 5% haha not knockin it but a few of my buddies trucks are done up with it and i dont like the lack of visibillity when driving. Aesthetically it looks killer tho. Any tire rub?

[TOPDOG2007]

Believe it or not the truck hooks up real good....But its hard not to power break it!!! Its only been on the road for about 3 weeks and I have put alittle over 500 miles on it so far. I actually stripped off the 5% and I laid 30% all the way around including the full windshield..its alot better! This has been a 1 1/2 project for me. I bought the truck as a shell and did everything to it...here is a link to my build page. http://www.ranger-forums.com/f34/199...-0-swap-93083/

I love everything about this truck.

You achieve an amazing wheel-tire-height ratio

[TOPDOG2007]

Thanks for all the comments guys..I still have alittle work to do to finish it all up. The ride height came out just as I had envisioned in my head...But I really got lucky. I used the complete Expo rear including the leaf springs which was factory flipped then I got a set of 3" DJM dream beams. This is a pic from last week..I ended up putting 1/2" coil jackers on it this week so the front would not scrub when you hit a bump at high speeds.

Turned out beautiful, mate.

[TOPDOG2007]

The exhaust is just the Factory manifolds (Torq Monsters are way too high) and two Flow master mufflers with turn downs. Here is a far off Video I got of it a few days ago.

sweet ride man!! reminds me of my old one just like it!!! one thing i did that made a huge difference was swap out the pedal assembly too.. it sucked after making it automatic and having that little brake pedal..

[TOPDOG2007]

I am running two of the Delta Force racing mufflers...I really don't notice the little pedal....I was gonna swap to the bigger ones when I swapped the dash but didnt.

Nice clean looking truck buddy!!! Great job in the explorer leather seats too! I like the look with the center consol!!! Did you loose any room with the explorer seats over the ranger seats?? I would love to swap some buckets into my ranger, but dont want to loose any room, and it seems like my ranger seats are tiny!

Also, what wheelse are thouse?? Never seen them before, and they looke really good!! Im guessing 18's???

[TOPDOG2007]

Width wise I did'nt lose any room but they sit up a little higher...I like the way they sit up..but if you are over 6' you may not like it. I would guess they sit about an 1" or 1 1/2" higher. The wheels are old actually and have been discontinued..they are 20" KMC Stealths. I found them after several months of looking on Craigslist.
