My 1997 Ford Ranger project

[84projectFORD]

if your gunna put the original stickers back on id keep them the same and then paint it blue, then people will know its yours now and not come up lookin for chad when they see your truck lol. now that i see the orange is grown on me!

When I first read orange or blue, I was thinking General Lee orange (just was not likeing the idea). But a burnt orange or a copper like some of the newer Fords would be pretty sick, but hey, your thing, do as you want.

And I would love to see some nekkid pictures of it!

daaaaaammmmnnnn cant wait to see that thing rollin around vegas.

what do you have to do to make it street legal other than window, lights, and exhaust? ive heard that 4-links are illegal but im not sure if i believe that.

 

[shaun_kite]

windows/ lights,/ windshield wipers w/wiper motor/horn/turn signal switch/exhaust with cat and o2 sensors/rear license plate holder w/lights/thats ABOUT it. Truck will never really be "street legal" but it will be able to be registered in Nevada..even if I do get a fix it ticket or two
Links are legal.

I say stay away from orange and decals that look like what's on there now. You want people to see it as your truck, not the previous owners truck, or the previous owners old truck. It would be like marrying a woman that was always reffered to as some other guys wife or ex-wife. It would start getting old real quick.

what was there to fix? if your talking about coils rubbing on frame rails when it was first built, that has been fixed yeah

 

[Jim Oaks]

What's with the black? What happened to the orange that was on it?

 

[shaun_kite]

Sand Hustlers bought it from Chad and said the orange was, I quote "gay" They painted it black with the gold vinyl decals.

LOL funny. I think those guys have serious attitude problems. I remember reading the ad for this truck a few times on whiteboystoys.com and they had a similar tone except everything was WRITTEN IN CAPS lol.

I'm surprised they didn't throw on a bunch of iron cross decals too.

 

[shaun_kite]

I'm not sure how it was done but they said it was fixed like a year ago. We checked the front and rear and it cycles clean now- Even when Chad had it the only time it rubbed wasn't at droop or bump it was when he 3 wheeled and it articulated all to one side. The trucks stance will also be lowered about 6"

If you have a leaf setup like the Giant Link Killer is there any way you could 3 wheel with leaves?

 

[shaun_kite]

They had a thread on DR about 3 wheeling with leaves..there was like one truck that could kinda do it but the simple answer is not really
