Thread: David Munoz' 94 Ranger - Getting it race ready

I'm finishing this truck for David Munoz, Thugl1fe07 on here. He has a 94 Ranger supercab with a 4.0 5spd. Custom dana44 beams and national leafs. He plans to race 1450 and wants to get a race or two in this year, if the truck is ready in time. I'm going to be mounting the front clip, making a front bumper, adding door bars, mounting a light rack, cutting off the rear cage and redoing the spares TT style and rear bumper, mounting TT bedsides, and some other misc. stuff to get it ready to race.

Here's some pix of the truck:

Keeping it leaf or linking it?

So far I've mounted the clip and started the bumper. More pix to come later.

The original plan was to back half and go with Giant links. He changed his mind because this project has already taken like 2+ years to get where it's at. He wanted to get it in the desert and use it asap, so he went with the leafs.

Thank you!

Also, I don't remember who the truck was originally built by, but Solo Motorsports did some freshening up on it. David will have more info on that.

Good call on keeping the springs! Go out and have FUN with it....... too many people dont do this anymore ( they build the fuck outta there trucks and dont use em enough) ...... it doesnt have to be a GB TT to have a blast in. Glad to see that your anxious to use the truck man gl and looks great!!

did you have a guy named brian start building this thing? dash looks like ive seen it in person before

Thank you! I wanted to link it soo bad but like Greg said above I have been building this truck for almost 3 years and linking it would have put me back even further. I'm more then happy with the leafs, I couldn't believe how well it handled and how well it takes some of the bigger hits.

hey , my old front clip lol.

Take your springs to national or who ever, and have them add a lot of arch to that pack. I did the same thing with my national 10 pack and it makes a world of a difference. Trust me, you will want that up travel and pre-load when you start to mash on it.

Yep I bought it off of Nate, he said he traded you, My 9 inch also came from Nate.

Nice truck man, Love it!

im sure it'll turn out bitchin. good luck with build!

So this is the truck you were getting in. I always wondered what happened to it, I will keep popping in here to check updates. Sounds like it is going to come out pretty nice!

Havnt had much time to work on it lately, but I had a chance on Sunday...

looking good Greg

Damn you didnt tell me you already started laying tubes in the rear!

Looking good, I like the two bends on the rear section.

looks bitchin greg!! good meetin you when david and i dropped it off work looks great super excited to see the end result keep up the good work!!

and david i see the grin on ur face already haha

not to be a dick but that dash is legit.

i like how the beams were disgned with less wind resistance built in.

This weekends progress...spares done, bumper done, rear cage needs a few more tubes, then finish welding it all up.

Very nice, looks good!

Thanks! Would have had the bedsides mounted over the weekend too, but I forgot I didn't have any dzus buttons to mount it. DOH! lol

me likey good job Greg.

Damn Greg that came out Bad Ass!

Greg is that fluxcore?

hey greg, can you get me a pic with the spare tires on, im looking to do the same set up. but wondering if the hub dealo for the rim will over lay the frame rails. if it does, it will make getting my cell out tricky.

The center of the wheels are about 2" outside the frame rails...not sure what you're asking here lol

Na, like I said, the center of the wheel is about 2" from the outside edge of the frame. If you have to, you can push the wheels a tad further apart and/or cut the "hub"/mount flat to be even with the inside of the frame. This one has all 5 holes used, you only need 3, so there will be plenty of room to make it work.
Or get some tube clamps and make the tubes the "hub"/mount is on removable to get your cell out. C'mon man, do I have to think of everything for you. Just bring your truck over to me YOUR DOING IT WRONG! haha

thats the answer i was looking for. i was thinking the tube clamp idea yet didnt really want to but if it comes down to i will.. and ill build it wrong like everyone thinks i will, then ill bring it over... haha

***YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG
