What's up? I do not own a ranger right now. Right now my project is an 89 Mazda B2200. But I am starting to look for a ranger to build for my oldest daughter. I have 3 daughters and I plan on building mini trucks for each one of them.

Welcome to the site. Alot of great people on here.

welcome! enjoy your stay and post often!





you better start saving up if you're gonna build a Ranger..they're expensive to work on! hahahaha

haha yeah man i know. my dad works for ford and i use too. i know all about how expensive ford parts are. i have 3 daughters and 3 different trucks to build. lickly they are still little but i need to get started.

yoooooooooo man. thats sweet u want to build a truck for each of ur daughters. how old are all of them?

aj do you get happy in trailer parks ???

rangers :TUP:

the way ford designed there frames and front suspenion :TDOWN:

they should stuck w/ the mazda suspension....

yeah i have a 5 yr old, 3 yr old and a 1 yr old. i am thinking about a ranger, yota, and a nissan hardbody. but seeing as how long it is taking on my mazda i kinda figure i should start on theirs as soon as possible. if i can find some really good deals i can pick them up and get started on buying parts for them and then all at once build it. i love this hobby, i just wish i had a few friends locally that loved it too.

^^^i dont get it


so they are still pretty young so you will have plenty of time to build them. actually it will bei nteresting to see how much the MT scene will change in the next 10 years. by the time you finish one of the trucks we might be seeing trucks that are nothing that we can even imagine now.

very true. can't wait to see what happens. hell, i may buy a new truck now and in 10 yrs that badboy may be considered old school as hell. haha.

a Yota? what year? a buddy of mine has one already bagged with a nasty 4 link (race car 4 link) that he's selling...it needs some work, but it sounds like that's right up your alley! the body is completely straight and it's pretty clean (still has a functional tailgate, still has door handles, etc.)



I personally would re-bag the front. whoever bagged it before he got it put ball joint spacers on it (NOT very safe...that's olllllllld school)

it's like a '92 body style. all it needs to run is a wiring harness and probably a fuse or two. he's asking around 1000 for it.

your name is thetornado. as larry the cable guy said in cars"im happier than a tornaodo in a trailer park...

where is he located and can you get me some pics and a price? may be interested.

he's here in Rockwell. I go by his house every day and talk to him all the time


when he first decided to sell it, he told me he'd take 1200 for it the way it sits or he would take 900 if he got to keep the compressor that's on it


I'll stop by tomorrow on my way to the shop and snap some pictures and whatnot

cool man. how far is rockwell from jacksonville? i was stationed there for 5 yrs.
