Honda Ridgeline "prerunner"

LoganB said:
And prior to it ever going to the west coast it was the CLEANEST 93-97 ranger. Giant motor sports parts, gloss black paint job, app thunder wheels. I personally think it’s ugly and total waste of a truck, but to each their own. This ridgeline tho, this is something unique and can’t wait to see finished up

Haha, that's right. I built it for the Anderson brothers and cool to see Luke fix it up and give it a new life!

What is the wheelbase? Looks like clearance is close between tire and rear of cab. Will shocks be in the cab space?

The wheelbase was originally 122” and I’ve stretched it to 132”. There is no “back of the cab as it’s all been cut out but there is about 6” of clearance on a 40” tire to the back of the cab area. The coil and bypass are in the back door area so they are pretty far up in the body

132” is where I’m at with my crew cab GMC Sonoma. I like it. I didn’t realize they have a 122” wheelbase stock. Shorter than I thought!

Yeah. The ridgeline already has a small tire that is close to the back of the rear door and its only a 30" tire. i cut a lot out and so with a big tire it defilately needed some stretching backward. and the front was even worse still

Correct! I did that, it’s made by fiberwerx. I’m not sure if they’re allowed to sell it to consumers or not as it was specifically done for HRC. Can always call and ask though!

PS this thing is badass dude nice work!

im not sure if it would even work as the body width and height from the bottom of the fender to the hood are surely a bit different than a standard 1st gen ridgeline
 
Finally got her out and made a lap around the block. The power steering was kicking my butt until now but I got it sorted out. Looks like my pump was sucking air from bad connection at the reservoir so I built/modified this remote reservoir to fit. Now I need to do some engine tuning as it's currently falling on its face a bit under acceleration.

Thanks buddy. It is. But it uncovered a new issue which is that it didn't want to accelerate. Not sure it's that's a sensor or tuning issue

it’s on all 4s and it moves under it’s own power. The falling on its face shouldn’t be too bad, like you said sounds like a sensor or tuning. Hopefully you’re ripping soon

thanks. Im fighting the urge to buy a new EFI setup. its currently running on a CBM Mefi 4B and I was looking at one of the Aces efi modules as it comes with a touch screen and I can do my own diagnostics and tuning.

If you’re going to change it, go with Holley. It’s so well known and flexible
