Love the Hy setup on your Ranger!I in fact got the lil fella finished on mock up.All but spindle swap and 8 inch skinny fronts.Got the 155-12 tires mounted and relocated rear fenders.hooked up choke and throttle and tore(wheelied like a mad man!)up the street! <3 I am IN love!Plus I found a great alternate use for the tool box as the pics will show!

Not THAT is a perfect-sized tool box!

I never thought to check the fit... :)

I like the rear tires, got the rat rod look. But the cans are empty! :ychain:

Looking good.

Are those 155-12 currently available? If so, what was the brand and your source?

Thanks

Those are Hankook Novaks winter tires ready to stud.They were in a local tire shop since 07 and the manager threw them in my truck for 40/both!

After a couple days,a couple hundred miles and weeks in the planning I got the Ranger I wanted.Its the look and the function of a great round hood.I am going to pick up an eight speed rear this weekend and pull it apart,clean and paint her.Then fit her up with the plow chassis and wheel weights.I cant believe how comfortable this peach is and how tight it spins around.

Looking great, and nice use of the tool box, :ROTF: although I don't think they would stay cold for long. If you drink them really fast, that wont be a problem! :ychain:
