New ideas

[jjpp250]

I want to do something different to this truck, something g to make it stand out, I have a matched top, toolbar, toolboxes, something that not usually on a truck. Any ideas?

Something simple or something serious? How about a tandem axle in the back? Don't see them very often. You could also take the bed off and put a 5th wheel on it and make a mini tractor-trailer.

A wrecker with a A-frame and a winch?

Take the fenders and bed off, weld up some tubing and make a rock buggy out of it?

Cut the top off, make a carson style top with a chop. You can pull the top off and it would be a convertible truck.

Whoa! Hold up!

Is that a Superlift lift kit? What's the front bumper? I like that it has a 70's-80's retro look.

What do you do with it? Do you haul stuff? Go camping? Work truck? Farm truck?

I mean I was drooling a little after seeing as is haha. I love it. Maybe a roll bar to match h the vibe but dag gum. That's a sweet looking Ranger now.

Roll bar 4sure!

I like it. Reminds me of my 1988 F150 that was that color. More pictures. Show us that front bumper. I also like those wheels. Similar to the bullet hole wheels, but much bigger caliber. My only issue is that the back looks squatted which I personally don't like.

To complete that 80's look, a double tube roll bar with KC lights on top would be awesome.

I was thinking a chase rack because they sit up on the bed rail and don't take up any bed space.

To other people in this thread; You can't achieve the above by buying stuff from the store and off the internet.

We don't know what his fabrication skills are.

This would definitely make it stand out:

You are absolutely correct. However, the ideas we're throwing out can be used for inspiration. Ways to get ideas flowing. Many of these things can be custom fabbed and modified to suit his individual taste.

Plus, some of us like his truck just the way it is and wanted to compliment it by letting him know that.

Engine swap, 4 rotor Dorito motor with a compound turbo setup.

 

[Jim Oaks]

Ooohhh. Dorito. Nacho average Ranger.

Roll bar and then it will look like the chevy from the fall guy, the show back in the 80s

Lund Windshield visor with cab lights. I have one off my truck in that same Walnut metallic color that I don't intend to reinstall on my build

Compared to the average Ranger out there, it stands out already. Maybe not to the average person but someone who knows something about Rangers, it definitely stands out.
