Truck has come a long way but please lose the lip. I love this truck but lip and meshies ruin it for me, but hey thats why its your truck. Do what you do brutha.

I **** to say it, but that lip does not look good. It's way too big. Other than I like what's going on here, although I think the OEM Ranger wheels look way better than the mesh wheels.

I know what mean dude, and the lip is gonna go. I just have some things I gotta do first

I understand, and their both to be gone... Perminatley. I just want to get that stock lip lower before I rid of that lip and. I need to finish what I'm working on now before I can get lower on the stock lip, do it's a domino effect I'm just trying to work on it one thing at a time.

I appreciate it dude, and like I said. It's a domino effect of things I have to do before I loose the lip and I'm currently just trying to work on it one thing at a time.

Why not just put a 93-97 front lower valence still you could add a 1 or two inch lip to this and it would be B/A. Im too lazy to put fog lights in the holes of mine but you could do it on yours.

That would be cool, but right now I have bigger fish to fry.....


Just picked up a snail

Well I've been contemplating whether I should post this or not but what the hell may aswell


I went ahead and put a wooden wheel in her



I put a hurst short shifter in



I painted the bottom half of the truck matte black because fuck it



Then I bought some tires for these old things that I've had sitting around for too long



But the catch is that I can't actually drive it with the wide wheels on it because it scrapes on flat ground I shit you not. I know I'm gonna get shit for taking the wheels off but I'm not that serious about the fitment look. This isn't worth it to me personally

[Randomofodication]

Those front wheels look awesome! Maybe just throw on slightly larger tires so you don't scrape on flat ground? Also I'm really digging the flat black section that lines up with the bumpers, looks good.

[dbales]

Those wheels would set this thing off! What is it scraping on?

[meech]

it will stop scraping once it grinds what ever is scrapping down

Thanks man, for right now I think I'm just gonna think on it idk what's to come

I can't fit a single finger below my front axle

it will stop scraping once it grinds what ever is scrapping down

I might just have to try letting it wear down then

[dbales]

Isn't this 2wd? Didnt think it would have a front axle.

[slurpie822]

Probably the front crossmember under the engine... Hangs pretty low even at 4/5 and is lower than the factory transmission crossmember that you can usually see hanging down from the side of the Rangers.

*cough cough* Body drop coming next?

Front wheels rock they fit nicely. I like these truck builds keep it up.

[rice4life]

I checked this thread like 5 times in the last week hoping that you updated it. This is awesome. Have you considered taller tire for those wheels?

The interior is coming along nicely too!

Yea its 2wd but its like an independant axle between A arms

I've replaced that one already dude I got the raised one from illusive fabrications

Thanks my dude, I was trying to find some 225/55/15 but they only had these 215/50/15 So I went with them. I think I'm just gonna drive it around till she grinds down
