I never knew this existed...

I never knew this video even existed... My friend Jason (Northwest Outlaw) had it on his Youtube page, and it's a pretty detailed video of my truck build...
I hope you guys find it as cool as I did... Brings back a few memories...

I remember seeing that vid is Jason still living out your way Doug do you remember how much wieght you lost with the frontend swap.

Yeah, as far as I know he's still living out here in northern Idaho... His number doesn't work anymore, so I'm not too sure...

Throughout the build as a whole, the final weight ended up at 2840 with the Pro Stock style scoop, 2 poly seats, 5 gals of fuel, and no driver... It's all steel, with exception of the scoop... Now, with the teardrop scoop on the steel hood, it's around 2800 even... Less driver...

I going to do a frontend change on my ranger about the same way you did yours but I will be using a 5 lug mazda rx7 frontend.I am going to cut the frame about the same place you did.Yours is where what go me thinking about doing the strut frontend and my buddy and me picked up a rx7 cheap for parts .He got the body parts he needed and I got the frontend parts and disc brake system off of it.From the way you have yours setup and the way he has his setup I got a good idea how I want to do mine.

Sounds like a fun project Jim. It took me a weekend to do the Foxbody swap itsself... Then another 3-4 days to get the suspension set right...
