Hello 👋🏼
For those of yall who don't know me . My name is Rylee Walker. Figure this may be a good place to organize some pictures of this little refresh project on our new family rig . Originally built by Jack Olsen (bent tube Motorsports) I tried to purchase this truck just after he built it in 2023, finally got my hands on it November of 2024. I spent the last 11-12 years with my old 95 F150 from pre running to racing 1450 then back to a Mexico runner. Our family grew and we now have 2 beautiful daughters, hence the reason for the crew cab!

The quick bullet points on this thing are:

Crew Cab Ranger (Mexico truck)
4.0 Sohc v6 swap and 5r55e out of 2011 Ranger
Blitzkrieg LT kit with 3.0 coilovers with fins and adjusters
2.0x2 king bumps
Short Course style 4 link with 3.0 coilovers with fins and adjusters
2.0x4 king bumps
Currie 9" with ford performance 3rd member (pinion driven oil pump and cooler )
37" tensors and aluminum wheels
Full 1.75 Dom cage
22 gal cell
Trans cooler
Baja designs onyx6 , xl80's ,s1's
Cutless Designs dome lights and rear brake light with Baja designs s2's
Rear trunk area with actuator , Jack, pelican case, fluid crate , spare hub and rotor holding spare tire ,

Here's the truck when we picked it up.

Ditched the PRP Rzr seats for more room in the rear seat area IMG_2195.jpeg
And ended up replacing all the headlights, header panel, replaced grill and valence IMG_2298.jpeg

Drove it around for a little like this, tried to get some miles on her to find some gremlins. IMG_2594.jpegIMG_2604.jpegIMG_2603.jpegIMG_2922.jpeg
Did a quick rattle can job on the rear fiberglass

Decided to ditch the rear bench as it was too narrow for 2 car seats. Ended up mounting up 2 more matching composite NRG buckets , and redoing the harness bars for a less invasive and more leg /car seat room option. IMG_5477.jpegIMG_5478.jpeg
Also made a quick mount for the shifter which I'll add a cup holder section to soon.IMG_5479.jpeg
We plan to use the truck mainly at our place in havasu this winter , Untill the kids are just a hair older for point to point trips. IMG_5482.jpeg

I'll update this thread as I change and tweak things on this truck . It's a perfect platform for us 🇺🇸IMG_2150.jpeg
