This truck is the exact definition of “built, not bought”. Great work brother, makes me wanna do big things to my Ranger in the future!

[@lukeshaia]

Appreciate that!! Always fun building cars, hope yours turns out great!

[@randizzle99]

wow.. I can't believe you built a roof tent. SO MUCH RESPECT for this creativity!

[@lukeshaia]

Appreciate that, thank you!

Wow, really impressive. It's the little things that sometimes make the biggest difference.

[@lukeshaia]

Agreed! Thank you!!

[@janvalle8998]

NGL, I was a little bit skeptical at first, but it turned out amazing. I love this. I am looking to buy a ranger soon and this gave me some ideas. I especially liked how simple your tent design is. Simple but very practical.

Thank you! I’m glad it gave you some ideas, hope you enjoy your build!

This build is actually so amazing, I think that tent at the end was the cherry on the top. Great work. Was curious as to the ID on the shocks you bought? Tried using the ebay link but it says it isnt available. I was also wondering if the wheels you bought are compatible with the wheel size of an 02 ranger xlt? apologies if its a dumb question just making double sure lol

[@lukeshaia]

Thank you! They’re Bilstein B6 4600 shocks, try this link! www.ebay.com/itm/404904249967?fits=Model%3AB4000%7CMake%3AMazda&epid=530228020&itmmeta=01J420ZA4HN2JXS975XFMT8A6C&hash=item5e462c8a6f:g:-HUAAOSwVP5mEGB3 Wheels should fit just fine on your Ranger.

Black goes hood with the color of your truck. What color would recommend for mine it's blue so I'm not sure.

[@silasw3627]

Awesome build. I am considering building a Ranger myself. Just curious, how much did you spend on the truck and for this build?

[@lukeshaia]

Hard to say how much, I spent a good amount on maintenance too. I bought it for $4k and am probably over $10k in mods and maintenance if I had to guess. I think it all depends on how built you want to go. There’s easily $3k more I want to do to the truck 😂

[@jimmywilliams6428]

I got a 95 Ford explorer sport trac .it's hot a short all gages go out on it no nothing electrical works. It on off nit charging battery I wznt to fix it up for more iff road look but it's nit 4 wheel drive. Is yours 2 or 4 wheel drive. How do I find these parts I'd like to lift it an put those tires on it

Mine is 4WD, anything you see in my videos should have a link in the description to what I purchased. Or Amazon was my best friend when looking for parts!

[@Stretched97]

Love this truck bro! Quick question, do parts for rangers fit on the b series? (Grill, suspension, lights etc.) Thanks!

[@lukeshaia]

Thank you! Unfortunately they do not :/ at least for the newer years (01+) but I believe the 90’s do. I would always suggest checking the description of parts to verify the fitment.

What do you mean sides? The hydraulic struts? Those were from Amazon, but if you’re talking any part of the tent, it was hand made. I do have a full series of building the tent if that helps!

[@90babyjoe]

What type of paint did you use to black out the trimming

[@lukeshaia]

Rustoleum bed liner in a spray can. I have a quick video posted on everything I’ve done!

[@skylife7747]

Are the torsion bars able to be adjusted on the 1996 model?

[@lukeshaia]

If you have them, they can be adjusted. I’m not 100% sure if your specific truck has them. I know for sure the 1998+ 4WD has them, based off a google search for it.

[@kezdolbeck2881]

what did you restore the window trim with? bed liner?

What roof rack is that ?
