New Guy With The Stock Ranger

[Timelord83]

o/ I've got a stock 2001 Ford Ranger XLT. 4.0L SOHC 5 speed 4x4 SuperCab.

Looking to build it into a rock/mud truck for weekend wheeling while keeping road use. OFN Guys Recommended I take a peak over here. So here i am

Goals for this truck:

1) Lifted with long travel suspension and 4link rear end..
2) increasing front end width to allow for larger wheels and further travel.
3) Rear wheel steering
4) Keep It Road Legal

I suppose you could always give it a new cab or build a super off road buggy out of it.

dont feel bad, when i pumped gas a truck came into the shop from someone who bought a dodge durango who rolled it ON THE WAY FROM THE DEALER they werent even off roading, they took a turn too fast and went off the road. funny thing was she was the gf of a very good friend of the shop owner, they did the truck back on the road, after replacing the radiator, and bending the bumper back...but the roof was all dented, and the grill always looked f'ed up hahaha

did i miss you at the scene??? cuz i am fairly sure the 7-10 people that watched it go over would argue with you..

i pulled out of a driveway onto a paved road litterly covered with small rocks and stones from a stone trucking company that dosn't cover there loads.. and the rear tires spun on the rocks as i accelerated and never made it back to the road was like driving on marbles it swung around and when it slid off the road (first picture) the right front tire got caught in the soft dirt and it rolled. i am fine was slow 20-25mph.. trucks toast insurance totaled it yesterday.. needs a cab and a frame according to them.
