Galen's Ranger Prerunner

Galen · 01-22-2009, 08:10 PM

Out with the old and in with the new so to speak! Today I traded my RS for a 1999 Ford Ranger Prerunner. This is because it just makes more sense right now (with my dog among other things). I bet you all were thinking "ahhh, we finally got rid of this guy" when you saw my car for sale. Whelp, I like it here so much that im stayin!

Suspension:
- Fabtech spindals.
- Fabtech upper control arms.
- Fabtech 5.5in kit.

Body:

- Tinted taillights (looks better than altezzas!).

Round Rubber Things:
- 33in BFG's.
- Fabtech full size spare mount in the bed with spare.

Engine:
- New spark plugs.
- New wires.

Transmission:
- 5 Speed built with taller gears.
- Rear end to match.
- New clutch.
- Expedition rear end with 456 gears.
- Posi

Stopping:
- 4 disk brakes.

Protection:
- Fabtech "prerunner style" front bumper and skid guard.

Misc:

Anddddddd, on with the PICS!

Well at least you didn't trade it in for a honda!

That thing is sweet! I was looking at some rangers before I bought my GM2 and as much as I would have loved one the suby is more practical for me.

Now get out there and get some air borne pics!!!

MyNikonLens · 01-22-2009, 10:12 PM

Yes you do. I am going there this Saturday. Bring your truck and I will take a few shots for it. I think we are scheduled to be there at 10am.

Galen · 01-22-2009, 10:13 PM

Ugg, I wish I could. I have class allllll day. When are you going to be there next?

MyNikonLens · 01-22-2009, 10:15 PM

Just hold on here a sec...I though you need to sell your RS because you had no $$$, now you have this!?!?!?

Galen · 01-23-2009, 12:15 AM

Yeah, it was too good to pass up

And it gets 2/3 of my problems solved. I figure ill just walk the streets at night in neon spandex to make the $$.

RanchoRat · 01-23-2009, 12:25 AM

Rally OBXT · 01-23-2009, 09:50 AM

Well Galen, maybe you can prove to all the Rally 2 guys that a truck can be fast. I look forward to seeing you rock that thing silly at the next race!

Galen · 01-23-2009, 10:00 AM
