Kyle M's Ranger Rebuild

not the best picture but this was bobbed and dove tailed we just ran sheetmetal from the top of the bed rail down to the frame rails all the way down. basicly it makes the whole inner fender like a smooth triangle shape. hard to explain but it worked well and you can still use everything as a bed as long as its on top of the frame rails

Bed sides bring da ghey.

if you want to get all crazy you could get it on a 4 wheel scale and see where the truck is weight biased. Try and make up for it by using thicker plate. But i think 3/4 steel as a box is a bit OVERKILL. and anything short and its likely still gonna be pretty heavy upfront. so unless you really plan on airing it out then i'm just rambling on.

Ahh, not gonna get that crazy, just simple and functional.

Drive shaft installed and tested. Binds at about 1" before full droop. Need some shorter limit straps, I have 18" now, need some 16" ones.

Also pulled the air shocks to add a little more nitro, it was sitting a bit low.

I think I will skin out the inside of the bed, basically fenderwells, then we will go from there. Trying to keep this KISS (keep it stupid simple)

my tail gate is fully functional!

KISS on that truck man! always!

Looks sick! love the comp cut/dove tail very unique

Thanks fellers!

Help me decide, I am gonna paint a couple new renders to help clean up the truck, fix some dents ect. I am debating changing the color to satin black on the whole truck. Keep the green or go black?
