just another static truck in the making

[slurpie822]

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

I'm talking about the crossmember that sits just below your oil pan, between your frame rails and front wheels. You're probably getting snagged on it with the smaller wheel and tire combo. Illusive only has a raised transmission crossmember.

Here's a view from the back of the frame looking forward. The engine crossmember I'm talking about is the U shaped one at the top of the image. There's a reason why bagged rangers lay out weird unless they are Z'd .



Just be thankful we don't have to deal with the silly I-beams! (No offense projecthoarder <3)

Yeeeeee! New wheels? Do you have a matching set for the back? Would look stellar

[Belvader]

That's what I'm gonna go with. Plus new wheels otw boys and girls

[projecthoarder]

Lovin the front wheels man, just drive it till it wears down, that's what I did, lol.

[Belvader]

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

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.

Thanks playa

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!

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

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.

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

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

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

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

[Belvader]

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