Ryan you're getting a killer truck.... sick
Channel is way under subscribed... Keep it up guys!
Sheeesh!
Truck gets better and better keep arc'n and grinind'n
The windshield bar setup is brilliant! Such a clean looking build, thanks for the inspiration!
Asahh duhh. Looking sick.
Great work, hope you don't ever need to replace the rear window.
The eyecrometer was definitely on point
Hahahaha
Glad to see the ranger back on the channel. I have a 97 single cab same color
Earning those new shoes
Killer work! The glass guy is going to love pulling that rear windshield lol!
Nice progress.
Might wanna add these to the ranger Playlist!
Added! Thank you for the reminder
You guys are killin it. The progress on the truck is incredible and the fab work is top notch. Super impressed and am looking forward to progress and updates.
Glad Yall are back!!!
this thing is coming along awesome.
I am curious why you started with a complete already built truck when all you are using from it is half the cab and a short section of chassis rail instead of just starting with a cab and half a chassis from the wreckers?
This is my very first truck I have ever owned at 15 years old and ryan bought it from me and we have had the intentions of doing this for years. Outside of the sentimental reasons , there really is no point to start with a complete truck if youre going to build something out to this extent.
so much thinking and preparation, keep up the awesome work 🏁🏁🏁
Great job guys!! As a welder for 35 years your welds look great!
Nice built can wait for the next part good ideas I got my ranger getting built as well
I finally had an Açaí bowl from Blenders so now I know what you guys were saying years ago. Sick ranger!
haha! We didnt say acai, look up suh dude on youtube!
I’m just being funny. You bros are killing it keep it up
Awesome, I'm watching and waiting for these vids, I've just started the interior cage work on my build for a race truck here in Australia using a local GM body they are almost identical in size to the ranger but we have to keep the oe frame rails. Keep up the great work guys, my fab skills are very basic but this chanel gives me a lot of inspiration!
Thank You.👍
Hauling A$$ on the build, looks amazing guys keep up the great work can't wait for the next upload
Truck looks great, nice job! 👍
Insane work dudes!
Glad to see this truck finally being built from the start! You guys are killing it
Sick !!!
Clean work man looks great!
“Cabron Fibrey” 😂😂😂
Killing it! Can’t wait to rip with you guys 🤘🤘
I wish I could see what you guy do cut and what you don’t cut under the cab like the whole process I’ve never built something like that but would love to
Enjoy watching your videos, comming from a drag race/Road race background. Wondering what kind of anti squat numbers you target on offroad race trucks, I imagine close to 100% maybe slightly less. Interested to find out 🤘
Guessing closer to 30% AS for a desert truck but would be interest in the numbers too.
Loving this content!! He is straight killing it on this build🔥 with great explanations for every thing he’s doing👌🏻
Great to see a little mini truck being built !!!!! I was wondering if the bulk of the back cage is external to allow for internal seat and leg room how or where will the back or cross brace be located for the race belts ? Great build looking to see what you guys have in store coming up.
We will go over this in one of the next videos!
Unless I missed it, how do you plan on welding the tops of the tubes in the cab since you can not drop the cage? Cut the roof off?
And the backside of the b-pillar tubes against the cab?
cut the roof off
The only joints that will bring up an issue will be at the top corners of the windshield. And even then I will be able to get 90-95% of the joint. Everything else in the cab i will be able to weld 100%! That being said, im not cutting the roof off to get less than a 1/2" of weld on each side of the truck
@@ShowMeThePony The entire B pillar I tacked onto the truck and then pulled off to weld the backsides, reinstalled and burned the rest of it in that you can see
@@ChristianEwingVD That’s what I figured. I may have missed that part in the video? It’s looking killer man. 👍🏻
Nice work C!
If you have time could you reply the length of the upper links and the distance between the center of each pivot box?
So just curious, what’s the typical anti-squat values look like on a truck like this? I feel like it’d be low (50 or so)
Where will the shoulder belts mount too with the b piller outside the cab?
Looking good, guys. Taking the time to tuck those tubes in that small cab is going to make a big difference. The penetration at the top corners of the cab looks so clean.
Why silicon bronze to the sheet metal? Just less chance of burning through? Obviously less heat input for brazing than welding. Also how do you judge CoG height for figuring out your anti #'s? With the extensive structural mods I imagine it would be a fair bit different than stock, but maybe I'm wrong. For a more stock rig there are numbers available from SAE and NHTSA that are used for crash reconstruction.
Silicon bronze helps with keeping the heat down like you said, minimizes warping and also has a little bit of flex too it. So if the cab is shaking a bit off-road around the chassis for whatever reason it’s not cracking welds 👍🏼 As far as CoG I just use the centerline of the crank on the engine as a reference point. It maaay be slightly off but it’s a good rule of thumb to use since so much stuff gets changed on these trucks
Awesome job guys, the quality of work you guys are doing out of a garage are Killer! With the Ranger being a regular cab & not getting to personal lol, how tall is Ryan? I absolutely dig smaller trucks but being 6' 3" tall it's hard to be comfortable in a smaller regular cab truck (even my 1938 Dodge pickup with a manual shift was a snug fit). Christian you are absolutely right on welding, the best way to improve is to weld weld weld. Thank you for sharing one crazy cool build.
I believe Ryan is around 6', I know Christian is going to do all he can to make it comfortable for him. Having the B pillar outside of the cab and making a dash from scratch will give Christian a great pallete to make things roomy!
I’m 5’10!
the update videos are great but what happens to the videos of you doing it
I dont see those type of videos coming back for the foreseeable future. Just from a time management standpoint its not worth the effort put in to those videos for the return we get from them. I cant say I wont ever do those kind of videos again but I have no desire currently to do that
I really enjoyed filming videos in that manner, however, I dont currently live in San Diego so it is difficult to be there often enough film that type of content. Perhaps this will come back in future projects! For now, this is the most convenient way of doing things for Christian and I.
Why do you use silicone bronze?
I like the c pillar outside the cab on single cabs. Curious how much room it adds inside the cab.
If you consider the tube size (2") and clearances between the tubes and the firewall/seats, could add an extra 3-5" in the cab, which is a lot for these trucks!
where ir the baja bug!!!
it's going to be a really nice build
