Thread: 2000 Ranger build

First things first...it started life with a first generation camburg 5.5 kit, and i had nothing but problems with it. Got an alighment done and would go ridding 2 weeks later and the cam bolts would loosen. thought it was the place i took it to so i went back and made them re-do it and i tighted the cambolts. Went ridding not shitting you the next day and it was pulling like a 2 dollar whore. i took it somewhere else and had it done and didnt go ridding or take it in the dirt and over a period of 4 months i had shit wear on my tires and had to replace all the bearings and went ahead and did the rotors to. In the mean time my buddy Van had desiging a full coustom Long travel kit for A-arm rangers(but not for torshinbars) and i was thinking, and asked him about a coil-bucket kit and he gave me a number and it was 400 bucks less then the LT kit. SO like anything else i just said fuck it and took it all off sold it and hacked the coil buckets off.

and since september my truck has sat with the frame cut and no work on it due to lack of time cuz of school and work. And yesturday my friend had a few weeks off and we went to town and plated the hole driver side of the frame, work will continue today with finshing some small things on the driver side and the other side should be done today.

and as today ended didnt get much done

looks good man. have any pics of the kit?

picked up a front clip this weekend needs lots of love.....its a McNeil 6" flare clip that i got for 250

the kit is still beging desiging but the original one that had the spindle extend an inch a half is pulling 21" metal to metal keep in mind no steering and shocks!!! the kit is being cut out monday the 26th and will take till friday to be fully TIGed up. the kit is running 1" upper uni-ball and 1 1/2" lower uni-ball, and the upper arm is using 3/4 heims. and for steering we went with the BMS clevises. and are mechinning are own snout blocks for the dana 35 snouts out a 5"x1" puck.


THE REST IS A SECRET

No we extended the spindle a half inch...get it right BOB.

Here are some pictures of the kit. The fist link is the latest version with a vertical outer steering hiem that was put together over at SMP here in burbank. Its 4.5" over arms, the spindle adds a little more then that. I think the track width is in the 85" area. The first truck that got the kit was meanmachines ranger and was designed by him and I.

got some goodies today....snout blocks clevises aswell as there special heims, and got extended brake line and studs to go into the snout blocks

i hate my pice of shit end of story

went to bend my uppers after working all day... was a sad sight to see

keep at it Bob it will all be worth it in the end! That kit looked awesome when I saw it. Any by the way I love the burg kit, no problems with it at all.

glad to here its working for someone. i have a felling my frame is a bit tweaked and thats what was causing my problems. i did a little measuring for the engine cage and one sides like an inch the wrong way then the other side....like all the commercials say GET THE CARFAX lol

Just keep at it ha I'm in the process of redoing my uppers too, fuunnn stuff ha

i got some good work done today...

the one of the wheel on the truck is actually bolted onto the truck. 5.5 over per-side

trucks on its own 4 feet as of tonight!

the truck is straped at 15.5 inches with 10" 2.5 dulrate sway-aways. it made the droop numbers smaller and up travel smaller numbers smaller because sway-aways shocks bodies are so small compared to fox or king. MEANMachines kit is straped at 17 but he also has kings with a bigger shock body.

Nice Buddy.... About time!

Time to throw on some g50s and see what she does.

Take it off any sweet jumps?

Coming out good. What's next?

Looks good!

after i get my sweet 10" glass. then putting to G-50s on and doing some cantilever action that V8Z is desiging and then ripping past MEANMachine and his cute giant 64 kit.

Nice build Bob. haha

The day you pass me is the day I no longer have my truck... You need to go out and learn how to drive your truck again this isn't a 5.5 kit you have some new learning to do beyotch.

^^^^^^^^ rofl

lets hope the eco frendly ranger makes it out aging soon

Looks good man! What's your final track width? I'm jealous, hopefully mine will be on the ground next week! Then gotta put that clip I got from you on ha

my final track width is 85 tire to tire and looking at it from the back with my baby 7.5 it looks like training wheels hahahaa

got a new set of tires for the dirty bitch General grabbers
