bent beam ranger

[blue88b2]

Hey all, i've got another ranger to replace my old blue ranger. here's what it looked like when i bought it if february with a blown motor. just after i got new tires on it.

well i've got some updated photos for yalls and some stats.

Put new motor and tranny in it, and the 3rd tranny is ready to go in soon stupid fm145's. cannot seam to make one last!!!

5" lift all suspension and all in the cut and turned beams, or bent beams.
trail master shocks steel braded lines, skyjacker coils. soon to have custom radius arms as soon as i get to building them.

Rear is miller locked and soon to have tracion bars when i do the front radius arms. getting different leafs to eliminate blocks and building shackles

did some cutting on the body just like my old blue ranger. got rid of the bumpers and am in the process of building tube a tube one for the front rear has a hitch and some tow points.

redid interior seatbelts, seat, and dash.
Bedliner on rockers and fenders.

Running 31"ssr swampers

Just got a tig machine of our own at work, so i'll be doing so aluminum stuff, like headache rack and lightbar maybe.

Also plan to do some water proffing and buiding a snorkle like my old b2 used to have

well hey guys, thanks for looking and welcoming me back!!! i'm stoked about this new rig if you cannot already tell.

I could tell it was you just by the way the front end is "configured". Glad to see you around!

So when are you gonna slap on a sick nasty bumper to compliment its new good looks?

What kind of plating did you do on the beams? No offense but they look improperly reinforced. Just my opinion though.

You can tell that just from these pics? It's 3/16 Plate on the front top and bottom along with 3/4" tubng on the backside. 100% weld. They are stout. before being on my rig these beams where on my buddy's for 3 years who ran 37's. before reinstalling them i did a though inspection and touch ups. if there was any question in my mind these where improperly braced i wouldn't risk running them. I'm a welder by trade so i know what a good weld looks like also. so no worrys bud. thanks for checking though, i've seen some crazy dumb stuff out there, and done some before, but i've been learning alot. and being happily married helps me be more causious.

thanks for all the feedback really appresiate it!

you should trim the rear to match the front... i think it looks odd that way...
