that ranger has been posted on here quite a few times before

thats the 1st good shot i've seen though of those wide azz rear tires though

 

well they have one in my mall here in gainesville and it looks nothing like that, it is really fugly. Should have made it look like that.

 

thats just a thunderbolt ranger then its not this one with the lightning goodies

 

On the second page of that article the guy talks about running a 13.8 @ 102 in the Ranger and then climbing in a 2003 L and running a 14.1 @ 99??? Can this guy not drive? And I think he meant he climbed in a 01-02 L, those are not the new wheels.

 

i heard it was running a 13.2 on speed channel. thats w/420 hp

 

In the same article it says that they ran at Las Vegas DragStrip...

That track is at like 3 or 4 thousand feet altitude..

Pretty good if you ask me

How do I get my grubby hands on a set of those 12 inch wide rear wheels?

 

i would buy one of them in a second flat

too bad they will never make them

 

My thought exactly

 

HI!... I saw that RANGER at the last AUTORAMA in DETROIT. They are stock LIGHTNING wheels that were widened, most likely by WELDCRAFT near DETROIT. The box was also minorly tubbed to fit those tires under it.

 

Im with BlueL .. id have to buy one for the stable. The only thing i dont like about the ranger is getting in and out of it. I have a 4x4 ranger regular cab. Getting in and out is hell. In this case however, i would suffer through it for the "weee!" factor.

Im going to do some quick measuring on my L when i get it back from the shop (windows/foglights/seat etc..) I may have to widen the rears a little. Thats a nice stance.

Whether or not they will ever build "junior"? I would think not. This is a ontime custom. That is a LOT of manhours they have in that truck. The L didnt need as many mods, they just dropped in engine , tranny, rear end. Played with the suspension a little and started sellin them. This thing has no real "platform". A lot of framework, firewall, tubbed, suspension ..more. Putting a 302 (or larger) in a ranger is not that hard, but this is a whole different world from what i see.

As for the thunder bolt ranger (which you can actually buy) Well, I wouldnt want one of those , but to each his own.

 

I bet ya every R/T here in ATL would love to try and pick on one of those. Since they pee pee in the weeds with da big dawg Lightnings

 

start line is 2000 ft and the finish line is at 2010 ft.

 

Couldn't they get the 4.6 SC32v in there easier?
