Slammed Ranger

[beluga420]

Sick truck man. Assuming it's a Duratec? What's the turbo setup?

Oh hell yes.

If you don't post engine bay shots, I'll cry.

Firstly, thanks for all your comments.

This truck isn't finished yet, still have a lot things to do. Almost everything you guys said are things that I plan on doing, but been busy tuning the truck and doing other things. Lowering the back 1.5-2 inch more are also in my plans. I've also tought about removing the spot lights in the grill, they were there when I bought the truck..

For whats about the color matching of the lip, I am not really sure I want to do it, I think it looks nice like that, but putting lights in there for sure someday.

It is not a Duratec Svenska, it's the stock ranger 97 2.3 lima engine at first and was swapped from auto to 5sp manual, but I've played with it a bit.. HY35 turbo with Bo-Port 1.9 cam, P&P'ed head, custom intake, 80lbs injectors, water/meth inj, KB forged pistons with crower rods, GM LS6 valve springs, Spec stage 3+ clutch, 8.8 explorer rear with disc brakes with front swapped Sporttrac 12'' rotors and a big smile when I floor it..

Wheels are 16x10 -38 offset with 225/50 tires.

Heres a shot under the hood, not really clean but thats about it.



I will try getting the pics from my friend of the last photoshoot soon.

Exactly what I'm planning on doing with my truck. What suspension parts are you on? Were you stuck doing a notch to the frame? Truck looks great! For sure motivation to get mine done.

Djm dream beams 3'' inch drop on front + Cut belltech 2 inch drop coils for about 3.5 final with 4* camber/eccentrics adjuster with some pinto shocks. On rear the explorer diff gives 5 inch drop plus belltech leaf hangers for 4 inch more with nitro drop2 shocks.

I do have a c-notch even with it I have about 2-3 inch of travel on rear I may have to get a bigger notch if I drop it 2 inches more.

The rear bedsides look amazing. Details on the fender work?

id take the bug guard, the walmart fog lights and the step bars off, but other than that, this thing is awesome, got any more details on the motor?

[Pagani]

nice truck

The rear bedsides look amazing. Details on the fender work?

Front fenders are pulled by about 1, 1.5 inches and rolled. Bed were pulled about 2.5 inches by grinding the inner fender and pushed with a bottle jack and rewelded into place. This is redneck but it works and looks great.

Step bars are already removed you can see there not there anymore in the video.. Cheapo fog lights will go when I have time to, and bug guard I may try to see what it looks like without it.
What other details you want on the engine?

that's awesome but shiiit. I had a hardbody and wanted to do the same exact thing with my rear fenders. I could flex and pull the fenders way out so I wanted to weld it into place somehow to achieve the look you got but my friends called me a redneck. So I went to do it anyway but there ended up being way too much bondo Seriously love the way the rear quarters look man

[Spatakula]

Keep the nerf bars! Funny seeing those things hovering off the pavement only by a few inches. haha

Nice truck!
