Hey guys, new to the forum
I posted this in the rangers forum but it’s kinda dead so I’d like to archive here now
I’m building a 95 Ranger/Mazda
Located in norcal/ oakdale area
So to start this story my brother has been in the scene for a while now and has had a few trucks and I bought his first truck from him after he decided to upgrade
The truck was an 88 single cab ranger he got for $400 sold it to me for $700, I threw some 10” kings on it and scored some f150 beams for it as well.

Took it to a few tough trucks and rolled it on my second run out. Pretty much wasted the truck. Cage was crap as it was just bolted to the cab. Parted it out mostly and waited to find another deal to actually build a legit truck.
That was in 2018 so fast forward to last year in august we moved from the Bay Area to the valley. My neighbor had an extended cab ranger on a trailer with a flat bed and he was trying to get rid of it for a friend, offered the guy 400$ and we drove it over to our yard. Pulled the flat bed off and sold that for parts fund.

Then started the disassembly stage
Pulling the front off and engine

Found some d44 ends I needed for some giant WIY beams we were gonna run
And started chopping those up to weld to the new beams

Me and the gf went to Disneyland and I figured it would be a good time to grab the beam kit , ended up getting hangers from Geoff as well since I was gonna need them anyway
