Just thought I'd take a moment and introduce myself.
I've looked to this forum many times over the years and just joined.
I have two 1997 Ranger 4x4 trucks and a 1989 model 4x4.
I also recently lost my 1997 4x2 prerunner in a vehicle fire.
Additionally, I have a RBV and a 1995 F150 4x4.
I'm a fabricator and mechanic.
In general, I really like this era of Ford trucks and the whole TTB /beam setups.
I've cut and turned them and have relocated with brackets.
I've made and have lengthened stock radius arms.
After the forementioned loss of the 4x2 via fire, I decided to make one of my 1997 4x4 trucks into a low budget prerunner inspired rig that remains capable in snow country.
I suppose you could say it is more of a tribute to the trucks I've worked on or owned in NV during the whole 1990's prerunner craze.
Anyhow,.I could go on and on here, but I really wanted to say how much I have appreciated this forum over the years, even as a non-member.
Thanks to everyone for your generosity, especially Jim Oaks for setting up this whole community!
 
Welcome aboard, all are welcome!

Can I suggest you pay the $15 to actually become a supporting member? It’s worth it just to get rid of the ads that pop up.

And if you’re going to modify one or more of your trucks, why don’t you start a build thread? Having your own thread can be invaluable on getting suggestions and ideas, but still going in your own direction. You’ll also get a rash of crap you never expected from people and places you didn’t even know exist!

And regardless of how many years you followed the site, if you are truly a new member, you have to get one of these and wear it for the first year.

I’ll come aboard again…
 
Welcome from Helena!
Post some pics when you get a chance.
 
Welcome Robio, The Bitter roots, some the most beautiful country. I could only imagine wheeling around those parts. Sorry bout your toyota fire. Fabricator you say? Nevada? NDRA was plenty of fun. Yes we live on pictures around here, feed us! Don't worry about details, we simply like to see what others are up to. Inspiration comes along in many different packages. WFO!
