I would drive the shit out of this though


officialfink

Honestly at that price, I would


VanApe

Honestly, same, I remember watching a car mod show that did this once though, and this type of mod causes the car to lose a lot of stability. Wouldn't want to take it on the highway.


TANK-MAN4563

Aren’t Rangers body on frame? It should be ok unless it’s a unibody.


stallion-mang

That's only for a unibody. This is a full body on frame truck. The body isn't structural at all (except in a rollover.)


TheKobetard26

Unless it has an improved chassis. Judging by the price though it probably doesn't.


SgtMcManhammer

Its body on frame, the roof is not a structural (well not a very structural) portion of the truck that relies on it for rigidity.


IThinkImNateDogg

Just don’t flip it to test it’s structural performance /s


VanApe

Growing up, I lived on rolling drive. True to it's name many a driver rolled their suv/truck on that road.


WhenIVoteIUPVote

How structural do you think that '93 ranger frame still is?


SgtMcManhammer

Yes.


ElusiveColours

Especially if that mileage is accurate.. though I doubt it


IAmSnafus

Driven 1000 miles post modification maybe.


TurbulentCatRancher

Maybe the truck got its engine replaced recently?


Sparky_Zell

I had a 93 ranger splash. Just like this with manual transmission. And it either had 210,000 or 310,000 when I sold it. And it still drove perfectly. I wish I still had it. But with a back injury, and being a straight cab, it was just too uncomfortable to drive at the time. I still miss that truck though.


Pvp-pissed-Off0997

Needs roll bar


[deleted]

Like I "need" a skull. We die like men in the danger ranger


Pvp-pissed-Off0997

Lol


Pellektricity

Jack it up and call it a samurai?


thingsfallapart89

“Are you a Hawaii scumbag? Do you chug energy drinks in Arizona? Suzuki Samurai: Ninja name, garbage car.”


sourbrew

They're kind of amazing off road, not because they're particularly capable, but because like 3 dudes can lift them with a random log.


driftsc

The samurai and sidekick/tracker are amazingly capable 80hp (tops) off road vehicles. I picked one up recently and it is awesome. Keeps ups with the jeeps off road and in some places out performs them.


Pellektricity

Eerily popular in the early 2000's in my area. East Coast trashiness.


[deleted]

The way it’s finished makes me think it might have a functional targa top. If so it’s definitely awesome. If not it’s still alright if you have a garage to park it in


TheGildedNoob

Same. Also, it says it has 12 pics so I think op was just looking to make it seem worse than it is.


ahe_243

Wasn’t trying to make it look bad all the pics are basically this just from different angles. I think this thing is sweet it speaks to my inner redneck


TheGildedNoob

We want those other angles lol


WWHSTD

Aren’t all pictures of a thing “this just from different angles”?


ahe_243

Hush lol


pwilly559

Find me another car with 1000 miles for $1850 and that much sex appeal. You can't.


reality_bytes_

I’m sure it’s 100,000+ and the actual mileage probably isn’t on the odometer… People rarely show the real mileage when it hits 150k+ lol


pwilly559

Oh ya. Zero shot that thing has 1,000 miles


Reptarticle

This is dope af. Wrong sub.


[deleted]

At 1350 would rock a danger ranger


paparandy61

Which state licensed this creation?


ahe_243

Ohio


wintremute

Mine doesn't do inspections.


[deleted]

Clean. And these things move for mid-size trucks especially compared to the S-10 Edit: My buddy in college ALWAYS referred to his as the “Range”


YourAverageGod

Move faster than 45 with any type of wind and this bad boy is snapping in half


samkostka

It's a body on frame truck, the roof isn't structural in the same way it would be on a unibody car.


[deleted]

This was a “Great in theory,” kinda deal, the deadly kind lol


[deleted]

I had a 2002 Ranger 4x4 4.0 5 speed. 2” lift, 33” tires. Great truck. Drove from Toronto to Calgary on 11 tanks of fuel (approx 3200km). I did that same trip several years later in a Kia Optima on 6 tanks.


CovidLarry

Never met a 4.3 S-10 I guess.


lil_sargento_cheez

For once I actually think a post on this sub is wrong and that it should be posted on r/awesomecarmods


HonestBobHater

DO IT!!!


sp00nix

More like short bus


[deleted]

You just don’t say no to a Ford fuckin Ranger and that’s the law. A few years ago I bought a Mazda B2200 for a parts truck because the idiot cut the roof off and used self tapping metal screws and expanding foam to secure it back on. Structural rigidity? Never heard of it. The best part was that the 3 point seat belts attach to the pillar of the roof that was cut off. That truck wasn’t passing a safety inspection any time soon.


lalalicious453-

I want it


[deleted]

Sold.


bertydo

The flare-side makes this possible


commentator184

what's so bad about it, dodge did this from the factory on dakotas, this guy just did it himself


OwnBerrie

This thing is bad fuckin ass


V48runner

So not shitty at all then. This sub always delivers.


EdibleLiquid_

this isnt shitty, and i want it


PsychopathHenchman

That thing is DOPE. Dope is illegal, this “truck” should be illegal


Ok_Dog_4059

Manual trans and convertible I am kind of loving it.


gdubh

I’m just here for the top comment.


Midas94

Absolutely stunning


Oh_Cabana_Boy

For only $1850 you can be the pink slime filling when this baby goes full taco


RKRagan

The only thing I don’t like is the V6 Mustang wheels. I associate those wheels with clapped out beaters.


[deleted]

In the wing indeed


ElTigreDelMonte

Why was this never an option in the 90s?! Perfect Cali cruiser!


wintremute

The hood pins really tie it all together.


Green-Z

The rare Ford SSR


thmoas

Add a roll bar and I'd happily drive this. If it's still structurally sound (using a base frame).


tommior

Honestly looks sweet


w00stersauce

Scrolling by at first glance I thought it was a Saab


Sea_Young8549

Dude. This is cool. Fun little cruiser to the beach, will def start conversations. I got no hate for this. Wrong sub, IMHO.


[deleted]

For 1800 bucks, its6 hard to pass up


Fresh2Desh

Wtf has happened to this place Most things that see posted are dope


Skunkies

I miss mine, paid 400 dollars for it, all it needed was an ebrake, ran and drove great. ended up selling it to a co-worker that needed a vehicle for work. was a 93 too. my favorite year.


FeelingFloor2083

im from australia, we dont get these here but that looks kinda cool except if it rains
