September 2012 Off-Road Truck Of The Month BrayD 1996 Ford Ranger 4X4 September 2012 Street Truck Of The Month I've been watching American Icon: The Hot Rod. They've been talking fmlog about influential hot rods that are now restored. It got me thinking about the Ranger's, Bronco II's, and Explorers. I've been into Rangers fmlog since 1992. I've seen a lot of these vehicles in magazines and online over the years. I can close my eyes and see these things running through my head. And some have inspired people in their builds. If we were to look back on these vehicles (Ranger, Bronco II, Explorer), do you think there will be any that will stand out as being influential to both the 4x4 and street crowd? There's been a lot of nice RBV's built, but what ones have been the most influential. Example: As an example, I don't think there has been a Ford Explorer that has been as influential as Lee & Gloria Zimmermans 1991 Ford Explorer: They really demonstrated how to flex a TTB suspension. __________________ Oaks / Doorgunner 2012 - The American Party "We know how to live within a budget" Five more years of payments, and these kids will be mine!!

I lifted my 99 Ranger in 2000 and added 33x12x5 KO tires. fmlog So many people who see my truck have been inspired to lift and modify thier rides over the years. They ask me to help with this ot that, or come up with an idea as to what they can do next. I love to help out on any vehicle my buddy's or my future buddy's. We all care about who we are and not what we drive. __________________ Straycat 99 Ranger XLT 4 door Supercab lifted 2wd 33x12.5x15 KO's on 15x8 AR polished fmlog rims Spare 33 KO mounted flat in bed/custom bed extender

Yours Jim (original) there have been a few articles

on it (if I remember correctly), plus you do get some media coverage because of TRS. Not to mention all the guys that put the V-8 in years ago (I did mine back in 2000). they kind of set up what works/what doesn't and set the markets. Just my thoughts.... __________________ 84 Ranger, 347 V-8,C-6, Dana 20 t-case, X axles W/ 4:56's, Locked F/R,6" total lift,35x14.5x15 BOGGERs// 94 XLT Explorer,4.0,4:88's, Locked F/R, 7" fmlog total lift, up on 35's/2000 F-350, SuperDuty Dually, V-10, my puller _______________ The Lost Boys' motto: We don't know where we're going, but we'll be there for a while.(founding member)

Might have to put Stray in the hospital with a torn rotator cuff after that post. I agree with Pyro. The Bigfoot show is as iconic to Ford trucks in general as anything else.

Your bolt on 2wd lift inspires me so much...... *Shakes head* Edit: Oh, and Railman's truck has always been influential. fmlog Mainly cause John is a stand up guy, and knows his stuff __________________ Built not bought 1 Ton, Caged Ranger build  
the rangers that have inspired me are the ones that are being used and abused. I enjoy reading all the build threads just to see what works and what doesn't. (THIS INCLUDES THE LIFTED AND SLAMMED fmlog TRUCKS)   fmlog
