whazzup guys, im Ransom Lockwood (RangeRansom) from RPS and FRF.

i recently sold tom stare a hood (hazmatRanger) and he told me i should join.

my truck is currently under construction, im dropping in a new/used motor, Z'ing the front clip 2-2,1/2 inches, welding in a step notch and doing a frankenstein front end (01-03 powerdome hood, 98-00 grille, 04 headerpanel & headlights and 07 bumper/valance)
and she's also getting a 98+ mazda bed swap, and a full exhaust set-up!

i will be rolling around on a static "Z" until i can afford to bag her out!

so here's some pics for yall to enjoy her in the current state...

and here's one as of last night, im getting the bed ready to sell...

well, hopefully ill be hanging around here more, cause im on RPS all day!!

hey RICO, a Z is basically cutting, raising and re-welding the front clip (frame & engine crossmember) before the firewall so when you have airbags it will lay out flat, otherwise i will have a cali-rake if i dont...
