Thread: Our 95 Ranger 1450 build

Our Ranger build is a project that Lannyfresh and Dirtracer are building with the help of Clinton Pierce and a few local shops Like FiberWerx, Powder One and Lucas oil so thanks to them for the help.
Its our first build and it might not be perfect but we are having Fun trying to get it done

we have been working on it for a long time and are hoping to finish this year. here are a few pics

love the design, bump for some MOAR pics

here are a few more of the back

a few of the cage area

Def gonna be badass when you get it done! Keep on truckin.

wow. very nice work. i will definatley be watching this build

good lookin truck man.. commin along reeeeaaalllll nice

Didnt Lannyfresh have an entire build thread on this thing already!???

PS not saying i mind the new thread.. just wondering what might have happened to the old one.

think it was "lannyfresh ranger build" or something

The pics all got corrupted and we couldnt see anything so we had to start over

so we will keep it down to current progress

we pulled the trans tonight to start the mods and got the things to do the steering

looks good charlie!

Looks Great any pics of cab to cage gusset pics

Truck is coming along awesome!

Do you think you could post a picture of the links at bump? I'm trying to see how much clearance there is between the body and the trailing arms...

this what your looking for?

Ill try and bump the truck this weekend
but we made these gussets so the links would clear

Bingo! If you get a chance to get a side shot at bump, I would be very grateful.

Every time I look at this build it makes me want to start over with mine, You are doing a great job, way clean fab work. I wish mine was this nice.

for the props guys, we are trying to get it done. This is our first real build and got in a little over the top, but we make progress when we can . We just got all of our steering components and shifter a cooler and cnc brake pedal and the cream de coup a fixed yoke
so we gotta get that all coverted over and get the driveshaft modded before we can move forward

Dam a million things to do building a capable race truck

And Tex your racing and Im watching
Id rather be racing

didnt u have a black ranger u ran paddles on with a coilbucket kit and pulled bedsides? were u on GD.com?

wasnt me closest we came was a white explorer with coil buckets
but no paddes

hm i think the guy i was thinkin of was on here for a bit. my bad, carry on lol

keep the updates coming! it's coming out nice, just be patient and you'll enjoy it soon enough

finished assembling steering components and got it all mounted and fitted the dash. also started mounting our cnc brake pedal. more pics to come tomorrow

Noice!

Looking good.

Did you get the trans back?

He said he would probably get the chance to work on it this week so I hope its soon found a radiator that would be nice to have but cant spend any cash till I know whats up

check out the fun stuff you dont have to deal with! (from the 5 speed you got rid of) 3rd gear is completely gone, not just a few chipped teeth...GONE!

I said it needed rebuilding but dam didnt know it was that bad

well the price was right not even some beer

But I cant wait for and am excited about getting

a good race built C4

yup, you were right! I just wanted to show you the carnage of it. The C4 will treat you much better than the 5 speed

I can rebould that 5 speed for you and I can get the third gear and countershaft for about 145.00 for both let me know.

definitley going 2 a B.A. truck

truck is looking awesome keep it up. got any pics of the explorer your talking about?

Look what I picked up today reverse manual valve body fixed yoke 300 mm hardened input shaft and a little culhane magic, and a nice T/Q to go with it.

while I was up that way stopped by and picked up a Ron Davis radiator so guess we will get some more done

that thing is b-e-a utiful. culhane did a damn good job

well let me think drive shaft, fuel pumps and filters and lines trans lines
gauges, and about a million other little things and we should be running

oh yea GLASS

cant believe we are getting closer every day

got the transmission in got the drive shaft modified and in

got some more minor fabbing to do then on to the smaller things

should be running fairly soon

sounds like your having fun. where do plan on racing?

my dreams are to be a competitive 1450 racer in the MDR Superstition Series
and not be in the way when I get there

from there who knows we had a lot of fun in the MX world with my son racing and now its time for me and him to race together

is that the fwx oem dash... i like that and wanted to go that route since chad is not doing business but deznation convince me over to the race fwx dash

also is that a uniball in your steering sleeve?
