BBR's '88 Ranger. A semi-serious race truck build.

Hard to take a pic. Had to take this one thru the windshield.

I was happy that I had extra tubing on hand because like the genius that I am, I bent the end of the harness bar the wrong direction. Haha. I'm stupid.

Next step is to fit a seat. I'd like to do that before putting the door bars in. Just so I don't have to crawl over them.

Harness bar and lateral support bars. Only screwed up one bar. Haha.

You didn't do the bed installation properly. How do I know? No cussing.

All teasin' aside - nice job!

Perfect stance!

Turned the truck around and took a sec to snap a few pics.

Added a couple of pieces under the shock mount to tie the bed floor back together. I'm going to add a couple of bed bolts to the front half and call the back end done for now.

Is it pretty? No.
Do I care? No.

I've heard that the Phoenix brand is a good tire. I guess we'll see. I bought a couple of 28/10.5-15 slicks. Pretty much got 2 for the price of 1 MT or Hoosier.

Great Finds ......
I'm not a Fan of Coker Tire.
Give us a "Review" of the tires later.
I've had "Quality Issues" in the past.

Scored an Edelbrock Victor 460 intake locally for cheap off Marketplace! Right place, right time!

Also I saw that Coker Tire has some great deals on Phoenix brand (formerly Firestone) drag tires right now if you need a new set.
