thats really all i have for pic. still uses the stock box and stock pitman arm (if i can ever find one). it basiclly uses swingers to push/pull the other swinger and steer the tires. really simple but is awesome off road as your bumpsteer will be virtually non-exsistant

 

[ford rules]

Okay thats what i thought was going on there lol thanks.

How did you set your ride height? i thought i saw it somewhere something like 8" from the beam to the frame? im wondering because i am building my own beam set up.

its really where ever you wanna set it. Dave at threat built these beams to be set at 9" from the beam to the frame (which is where ill set it when the shocks are in) but really its how you want the truck to sit or if you want a 2/3 drop and 1/3 up for wheel travel or 50/50 or so forth

well bad news guys...........due to things turnin down hill again and wanting to get out of debt, the ranger will probably be goin up forsale. im gunna absolutly hate having to do it as ive been bustin my ass to not have to do this but its lookin like its gunna have to happen.........

Dave, im sorry i have to do this and i really really appreciate all you have done for me. I wont be out of it forever and actually am preparing for when the day comes and i get another ranger to turn into a race truck (5 or so years down the road).

Im going to try to sell the truck as a whole at first and then if i cant get what i like for it ill part it out so for anyone out there lookin for a perfectly set up truck jsut needing to be finished up, its right here for ya. Ill let you guys know how things turn out but for anyone interested, please send me a PM and ill get back to ya ASAP

Damn, sorry you have to get rid of her. But I know how it can be when times get rough, ill let people know around here what you got for sale.

 

[84projectFORD]

Thanks race. Shes is gunna be sold in parts (partin it out). Ill put a list up in the forsale section and id really rather not ship anything but if the price is right, ill figure it out. everything is forsale on her

 

[odie1969]

O shitty. Wish I could help.

 

[84projectFORD]

yeah i know alden. Have not had much interest in it, so if things dont start movin, she may not be goin anywhere. May have to find a second job or do side work on cars

 

[odie1969]

Well let me know, Sorry I cant offer to buy it. that takes money witch I have non of. If I can do anything else for you let me know.

thanks bud. i appreciate it. Im already startin a list for the next truck to build when the time comes. gunna do a few things different so it goes together quicker and a little cheaper. nice thing is i still have all the template for plating the frame and know alot now as to what works with what

 

[Boggin]

sucks to hear man. what will the next build truck be?

 

[84projectFORD]

92 and up ford ranger with a 4.0 and m5od in it already, same front end i have now and possibly same rear end setup with 9", boxed frame again, ill be converting the frontend back to the 88-older style front end though (jsut love that old school look lol), Ill probably try to find a truck thats caged already or got a cage thats worth building off to fully cage it but we shall see. lots can change i 5 years. For all i know, desert racing could get shut down by then though i really really hope not
