What’s up everyone! Miss the ol dr days so it’s cool to be on this. Just wanted too share my ranger build. I’m Maybe only 2 months into the whole build. Fb market place hates seeing me log on hahah. Besides the hard parts I’ve built everything and bought everything from market place, I didn’t wanna buy or build a whole brand new truck with all new parts. Something somewhat cheap and not to hard on the wallet.. I truly didn’t wanna build another ranger if we’re being honest But we as a family missed the desert outside of racing our dirt track cars! So here is Carli the ranger. It’s a 1995 ford ranger ext cab. Truck originally was supposed to be a DD build and I failed that horribly 
I’ve bought and traded so many shocks that I really never intended to use but now that I’ve got all 3.0’s and bigger it’s got its shock package now with the og blue fox’s!
88” DIY beam kit.
Full TE designs cab cage and back half
Prp podium seats
Full carbon dash and center console
Ls that will be built using Afr heads custom cam lifters and springs ect
4l80e trans with 3800 stall
BFAB 3.5” axle housing, trailing arms. Mounts ect.
3.0 co and 3.5” fox bypass all corners of the truck.
48” trailing arms
70gal fuel safe fuel cell.
Currently have desert specialties 2.5” hubs all the way around but switching to TT pattern.
Kmc wheels but being changed. Truck will have full ac heat as well and be a 3 seater with a matching youth podium seat for my youngest to enjoy the trips with us! The amount of time it took me to get here where im at currently, I’m hoping to have the truck done and ready mid summer at the latest. A couple hours a day after work and working on it during the weekends have really made this truck happen so fast! So here’s some photos of where I’m at from the start! Bought the truck last Christmas of 2024 drove it for a while and pulled it in the shop in nov ish. Since then it’s become a full build….. lol
