NOTICE Where are the serious off-road Ford Ranger builds!!?? Show me....

I mean, I’m not sure what value I would put on labor when working on my own vehicle, But I do own a shop and we are $110 an hour to customers. If you took a stock Ford Ranger to any decent shop in California and ask them to duplicate my build it would cost $100k +.

Well, that puts a number on what your time is worth then. Not that it matters much to the general public. Lord knows we hear enough people complain about how much a garage charges with little consideration to experience and knowledge, cost of equipment, cost to run the business, and so on. Tools, equipment, rent/mortgage, taxes, and much, much more ain't free.

I don't consider mine a serious offroader but I have fun and it works great with the tweaks over the years... one of these years I'll get to building up my Explorer, it'll be more multi terrain capable, still don't plan on it being a rock crawler but it'll do better than the Ranger...
