Thread: Back in the game!

hello everyone. well im back. ending up buying my moms truck as a DD. its a 2000 ranger xlt with 3.0. i have a 70 chevy im building right now and dont get my license back till december so ive just been riding a bike and working. for now i plan on some 32" tires, lift spindles and some fagtech springs. probably wont get going on it for a bit but thought this would be a way to reintroduce myself and once i start building the truck this thread will be here. here are some pics of it

well thanks to BTF holiday special ill have some LT sooner then i thought.

all i have to say is at least you have the mindset to do your truck right lol...yucca valley trucks are some of the biggest piles of shit ever. lots of square tubing used up there lol just dont make yourself mudbogger headers that go through your hood and are only on one side because your a 4 banger lol...good luck with the build man, just had to bust your balls cuz im from " down the hill" and you from yucca lol

thanks for the kind words, ill do my best not to let you down 92yota. im not a product of my environment and have good head on my shoulders. ill hopefully be out of this little pooper of a town soon enough.

lol dont get offended man im was just kidding..hope to see what your truck becomes

I wasn't lol. Just an honest reply and know what u mean.

next pieces of the puzzle. dumb ebay sent me the wrong spindles. time will tell if i can exchange them or if ill just get larger rotors. also put a deposit down on these kings and have some upper arms lined up hopfully. also ordered 5100 for the front and tomorrow in getting 33" tires and fiberglass

dam sounds nice! you must be excited to build this lol

Yeh I am. Going for a clean DD. Other truck doesn't have ac, that's a must on this one. Lol. Really want to run the cantilever from btf when I get to the rear so I still have a full bed.

yea you sound alot like me, im going for the same build just keepin it simple as mine will be a DD too. but im going to run a bolt on bed cage that will retain most of my bed.

lol their are only a few trucks up here that are shit piles haha anyways gonna be a nice little truck. Where in town do you live?

imo you lucked out with those spindles. the larger rotors will be better with bigger tires.

i agree, just didnt have the cost of rotors factored into my project.

yeah true. for what it's worth, get the duralast ones from autozone with the warranty. i had mine on my truck, wheel bearing seized and the race in the rotor came loose, and they replaced the whole rotor no questions asked. kind of cool that one rotor is now 2 years newer than the other... but better than spending $70 on it rofl

thanks for the heads up mac. also sucks because the rotors were replaced a year or so ago :/

it's only money, right?

yeh seriously, i got enough to build a clean caged truck but i like the idea of having money saved for when its truly needed.

lol o believe me I have seen some buckets. I live over on alta mesa next to the elementary school . Youve probably seen my yota its white with a tundra one piece and two side by side lay down spares. I know i have seen your other ranger you had around town.

Taylor right? I went to sky with u. I'm Sean. Well just got some glass and 33"s. Thanks speedking.

so i'm curious, is he like... mentally handicapped?

no, seemed like a regular kid but im special myself so wtf would i know

so we can't officially rule out him not being mental... gotcha lol. too bad he didnt show up to the clean up, that would have been hilarious.

lol o ok I have been trying to figure out who you were I was like their is no way I dont know you. Not that many seans up here. Yea yota just got torn completely down getting a full inch and three quarter cage with some 62's and bypasses in the rear and a one off front kit.

scotts new yota is pretty nice he got that thing fully caged and all from ross. And I actually have his front one piece and my buddy has the truck he rolled lol.

Yeh, he just got rear shocks for it. Does good for what it is.


Sent from my iPhone using Jesus.

what kind of shocks did he get. bypasses finally?

those procomps?

I know he had pro comps on the rear but they were smoothies. unless that was the upgrade lol?

He got some king resis. Valved for a Toyota with deavers so they were perfect. Didn't buck in the whoops on the pole line road behind acoma
