SAS Ranger that I am looking at getting.

[camodown]

He just can't do any type of offroading with those tires, so if you put some like 37's or somewhere in that range you would be set. As far as I know it is built well

Here is a build thread that I found for the truck: http://www.ranger-forums.com/forum2/showthread.php?t=29849

Cute Truck.

What is booty fab?

Means you fabbed it out of your ass.
a.k.a. Ghetto-rigged
def. to fix something with duct tape or other cheap materials in a way that is also cheap, yet oddly clever

I like the "oddly clever" part.
In the spirit of equality, I note that "cracker-rigged" is on the same page. And I've seen some cracker-rigging down at Wellsville.

it is a 2wd!! the kid has a post on there now saying you need to swap the output shaft, and a t-case, and get a driveshaft made! it could be a cool truck but i hope you dont hang around any real men with trucks they actually wheel because they will laugh you right outta the group.... that truck couldent keep up with a stock 4x4! what a huge waste of money! i smell big truck little ---- syndrome.

walk away

 

[projectnitemare]

I agree. Walk away from it. It is and or will be just a list of problems for you. Unless you know the person who did the work, plan on redoing the truck, or don't mind fixing someone elses short cuts, don't buy a modified vehicle. No matter how cool it may seem; he's selling it for a reason. I have a love hate relationship with my truck; I hate it sometimes but I built it and built it right so I don't want to sell it.

It doesn't look like he reinforced the frame at all from what I have seen.

Large levers in the form of springs and axle on a stock C channel frame = scrap metal, when the frame twists and bends and finally breaks. It's a okay street beater but it'll never be a off roading truck.

 

[silveranger93]

Here's his post over on Ranger-Forums. Seems like he wants it gone pretty bad.

Sorry for the late response. I was in NJ all week for business.

Thanks for the advice guys. I think that the truck is super sweet looking, but its coolness is probably sheet metal deep.

I had seen it, and then I saw that it is within driving range of my home, and I was like "gotta have it".

Thanks though for talking me out of it as it would just be another project of which I already have too many.

But........

If I did want to buy it still, even with what we know about the truck, what would it need to be a solid driver and decent off road? parts, money?
With what we know about it, what would it be worth?

 

[Hahnsb2]

Um well first it would need 5.13s in the front axle to match the rear and then it needs a t-case and driveshafts and a couple lockers... You'd be much better off investing your money elsewhere...
