Kyle M's Ranger Rebuild

[Kyle M.]

Fenders are gonna go back on, just need to clear for tube. Bed sides are gonna stay off till I get new sides for a better cut. So, just tube for now.

Looking good Kyle. It's too bad you couldnt get it done a week earlier and make it down to the Crawl Mag event in bowling green ky this weekend. We've been kicking it with Ian Johnson and the guys from essentially offroad. All the guys are great to hang and wheel with...

When you guys say stuff like this, it makes me wish I lived a few states over in the eastern direction. Not to many offroad events going on in Kansas.

Here are me and railman chatting with him about our trucks during the buggy shootout...

[Kyle M.]

Cool! One of these days I'll meet up with you guys. We do have a trip to harland planned late October....




More cage work...

With a bed side sitting in place...what do you guys think??? I kinda like it

Then the plan for more tube, kinda gonna resemble the tape

Thoughts, concerns, tips?

Second to last pic, the bars against the rear window, where the two come down on an angle, I would add one more on each side and meet at the top bar where the 3rd brake light is (to complete a triangle) for more lateral support incase of a flop/flip. Other than its going good

Sorry it's a lil squiggly but I would do this then possibly another one that goes from the top to rail down to the rail that goes across the shock hoops.

Do not tease me... If your plan trip becomes a "We are going" trip, let me know. I'll be there

Looks frickin awesome! I like it with full sides better, but these will do until you get those done!

I really like the design. What tube are you using? DOM or HREW?

How much does that stuff run a foot? Will it take a hard roll? Not flop, roll...
