95 ford ranger “the hoopty”

[386.jace]

I was told I should start a thread for my truck before it gets to far along so here I am…

Here she is my 95 ford ranger single cab short bed or lack of no bed lol, we decided to call this truck the hoopty as it makes very questionable noises when you drive it and quite frankly looks very questionable too but it gets down for what it is.
Bought this truck id say about a year ago had some plated extended beams off an early ford van paired with a set of extended radius arms and some deavers in the rear .
I built a shock hoop in the rear and did some interior stuff here and there but now to present day here it is now present day( don’t mind the chase bar it’s now gone) currently building a rear bumper spare tire holder whatever you wanan call it thanks Isaac and others for helping with the design of it all, clearly not done yet but

in front of the bumper there is a cradle to hold a 10 gallon plastic jazz cell filled with sand and water (thanks again Issac for the idea) for weight so this thing can start to party harder in the rear and not be super light.


Also got this rad third brake light from @guermanproducts on instagram super sweet using three kc cyclones going to wire the middle red one up to my brake lights.and some cool stickers from the expo slapped on the back window for style points

Rear bumper is now complete little late on the post I’ve been slacking…




Got the tank all in filled to the brim with sand and water not sure how much it weighs but me and my buddie struggled putting it in, behind the axle of course where all the weight should be, drove the truck last night and the weight made a huge difference and this is just the start.

That’s all for now here’s some more pictures of it all completed next up is a front bumper.

Does anybody know who makes/used to make the front glass that Jace has? It Doesn't have a label on it.

Glassworks glass has their tag glassed inside the top of the fender.

Hanneman has their name molded into the inside of the fender where the hood lands. If you can’t find either of those, it really only leaves fiberwerx or McNeil.

Yeah but I don't think its either of those unless the fender was discontented from McNeil or Fiberwerx

Could throw some batteries, tools, and a winch back there for some good static weight.

But in the meantime...at least you will be able to make some cool sand castles if you ever break down!

Battery is defiantly going back there just need to get a mount and cables for it, I want to put a trailer tongue box or some sort of big box in the rear for tools fluids etc.
