the danger in action

[freeride]

here are a couple pics of our (half mine/ half his) home built budget ranger in action. i'd rather show pics in the whoops but i don't have any. there are some pics of some big air too but.... i don't have those either. i'll try to grab my buddies sd card so i can post some good pics and vids. anyway, this is the best i've got for now.

specs and travel numbas plz

well, it's all backyard built by my friend and i.
bent beams- home made
extended radius arms- home made
bds ranger 6" lift springs- front
2 bds ranger 6" lift shocks- front
2 red ryder stock ranger rear shocks- front
2 bds dodge ram 8" lift shocks- rear
deaver leafs- rear
flipped and extended shackles- home made
bed cage- home made
33x12.5 tires
15x10 rims
perrys fiberglass
home made prerunner bumper
3 liter (about 350hp (or 130hp))
5 speed
3:73 open diff
14" front and rear travel

this truck has been ran in various forms for 10 years, getting better every year. it has taken more abuse and handles better than i could've ever imagened. i've made bikes, quads and other prerunners look stupid. i've even made the longtravel buggy guys blush a few times. i can't wait til i build a real truck with real parts but i've learned that proper setup makes all the difference in the world. king coilovers don't mean jack unless they're valved and sprung correctly.

just bent, but extending is our next project. i think we're just going to start on another set of beams. we bent those 10 yrs ago and have some new ideas that we want to try. and yes, it's a long box
