ABQ actually. Louisiana sucks. But I've gotten to wheel Clayton oklahoma since being here, so thats a good thing.
I was at ft polk in 96 right before deploying with the pathetic red bull. It wasnt so much that it sucked, it was just stupid. And I only did JRTC.
A little update. This is what Ive done so far, pulled the engine transmission and transfercase and front diff out of half ton.
wow there is metal under all that grime and oil
Just need to pull rearend and a few other items I may want
Engine and tranny
Engine and tranny and some other parts (Please excuse the trailer I need to replace some boards and do some work to it just no time.)

ya the grey ford hooked to the trailer is my 73 half ton with 4 lift and 35s 390 with 4spd it is a beast I love driving it.
well have not done anything to the ranger yet been working on other things here at the house. I also have been building a set of gin poles for my old diesel so I can pick stuff up. But today I did get a chance to pull the tarp off and fire it up and run it a bit so I took some pics of it.
she's ugly

the cage is a little different but not terrible looking, id hate to be in that back seat with no rear fenders!
ya its not much to look at right now I plan on cutting the cage behind the cab and changing the cab out with a full enclosed hopefully if I can find one an extended cab and taking out the back seat and putting a tool box there its just the wife and me so I dont need the back seat which I wouldnt put anyone back there anyways.
thats exactly what i would do...i think the thing that makes it look different is the short cab with the longgg frame behind it...
whats the wheelbase?

I havent measured it but I would assume the same as a stock reg cab, Im not sure if they rolled it and that is why the cab was cut and cage was done like it is but I will be changing it as soon as I can find a donor. I joke around with my wife and tell her Im gonna pull the cab off my 2000 but the only way I would do that is if the engine or tranny went out before I found a donor.

not really, my wife used to work for a company based out of phoenix so we would make that trip once or twice a year but I would like to check out flagstaff some more it looks like there might be some nice trails out there.
