Nice work, as usual, Todd.

I don't even know if I want to come up and wheel with you. It won't be fair unless you stay in 2wd.

Nice work, as usual, Todd.

How can you even say that? There is nothing that consists as "nice work" on this thing. He's got ****ed up shackles, steering, front blocks, rear stacked blocks, etc etc etc

Anybody can make shit that "works" but having PRIDE in your work is something different. I feel like a total jackass when im missing a washer or have a bad weld, much less a complete death ride.....

Troll coughcough troll.

And Todd, truck looks bad ass. I remember jacking one of your old winter photos for a photoshop project I was doing in school last year.

The truck was a beast then, and is even better now. Any plans for a bed or cab cage?

There is a diffrence between a show truck and a trail truck, obviously hes not gonna take this to a car show and expect it to look good next to a high dollar over lifted truck like we see on TV. The truck was clearly built to beat the hell out of and WORK!!! Yeah, some things need sorted out and tweaked a little, but he said he was working on figuring some of that out. and i dont recall him ever saying he was "DONE".

 

[kris97ranger]

as far as im concerned no trail truck is ever finished of course when he changes gears other things will come up that he will address and then im sure there will be slight changes he does due to those modifications its just kinda the way it works. its a nice truck and i think it looks better then any show truck actually looks like it gets used

Have you ever seen Ned (dirtraider)'s truck? It's nothing you should be writing off such as you are....

 

[Todd]

Damn, **** this.

 

[Chazman]

I dig it Todd. Let me know next time your downstate. Maybe 'wheel Rocks and valleys?

A few people here, yourself included, don't seem to get the fact that this truck is built for the trail only. Therefore it's ok to stack rear blocks, weld shackles, etc etc etc. Because it is trail only, it is NOT a death ride...lol.

I would also disagree that anyone can make a rig that works. I think there are many people who are not capable of building a doubler, swapping one tons onto a Bronco II, swapping on a Ranger cab, etc etc etc and having it perform well on the shakedown run.

I'm delighted that good welds and washers make you happy inside, and can assure you that Todd's rig also has good welds and no missing washers. He must feel good as well.

So I stand by my statement. The truck has proven to be very capable and works well offroad, and that fact supports my opinion. If we were talking about a show truck or family DD, I would not have said "nice work".

Rocks and Valleys Labor Day weekend (sunday)?

 

[Tony Raine]

i think some people have forgotten (or never knew to begin with) what a proper weld does to 2 pieces of metal

I've been following this build since it actually had a b2 body on it. I'd ride in it without hesitation.

forget the haters Todd. you know your stuff works. those that matter know it works. keyboard "know-it-all's" will keep thinking they are just that.

 

[86XLT]

seriously....r u guys newbs to the site??? Todd wheels in shit most of you would never dream of going through. I have also followed this build since it had a bII body, and actually go to Todd for advice when i need it. I mean damn, take a look in the tech library and see how much Todd has contributed to this site. All you guys are hating on him but I know for a fact that the BII typeR is one of the most capable trail rigs on this site just from the pics and vids he has posted over the last 4 years. His rig hasnt seen pavement in the last 2 yrs atleast that I know of, so how you gonna call it a "death ride"? I would love to be a spotter in his rig..(as long as he isnt driving through 3 ft deep creeks in january again, god those pics made me so cold when i seen them). If any of you really paid attention to this build, you would never doubt his fab skills...period.


Todd....as usuall your new upgrades are sik!! I love your rig, forget the haters...we know who's rig will hold up...let them doubt you...shit..let'em come up to the U.P. and show them what's up.

toll, haha, i've been around longer than you even know

I built my truck to beat the hell out of and WORK!!! and none of it is as sketchy as that stuff.

Damn, **** this.

I'm not trying to hate man, you've put out other nice stuff, its just surprising to see somebody who at one point did nice stuff, to put out a complete mess of a truck is disappointing.

.

you said it yourself, he's capable of building a doubler, etc etc etc, why isn't he capable of at least making his steering, suspension, body mounts, etc nice? That seems stupid to me...

and its NEVER ok to stack blocks, weld shackles, etc, you stand down trail from him one one of those things breaks and he comes rolling down at you...i have a truck that will go anywhere his will, but i'll drive it there first.

you have no idea what you are talking about.
