Ford Ranger Homebrew Trophy Truck - One Take

[@ralphlongo1975]

People on the internet: Why do you only have the factory engine? That thing is slow as hell. People in real life: Holy crap, who wants to go over that road, that fast? Me: That's way more bad ass than anything I'll ever own.

[@djdeertz5450]

Everyone bitching about the rattles lol.. kid built a damn baja truck out of a ranger he got in highschool. Wtf you worrying about the squeaks and rattles for he just went 60mph over a whoop section of course there's rattles lol.

[@Tricknutting]

Dj Deertz Triggerd much?

[@djdeertz5450]

Michael Ellis not at all lol.

[@tjprovo24]

Dj Deertz I don't know about everyone else, but the reason why I'm bitching about this build is because the kid didn't even build it himself! It's his truck, yes, and he paid for it, but he gave it to a fabrication company, and that company built the roll cage. How should I be impressed with a pre-runner that sounds like shit when driving, while being built by a so called professional company? That's my gripe with it. Other than that, the truck looks legit. My friend built his pre-runner himself better than this truck, all fabricated by him. Took a Toyota Tundra, built w/as good of suspension if not better than this, full roll cage with seats in front and rear cab, headsets for each occupant, the whole works. Everything done except engine work. His truck would eat this dudes "professionally caged" truck any day, and sound quieter doing so.

[@TakuroSpirit77]

It should have rattles, yes. But for a One Take when you are trying to listen to Matt and the owner talk about the truck WHILE DRIVING, its hard with all those squeaks and rattles overpowering the audio. If any One Take deserved a voice over with some exterior shots/audio mixed in its this one.

[@fondajames]

WeekEnd133 maybe he has a full time job or school or anything that keeps him from doing this work himself, there's nothing wrong with having someone else do that work. you're watching someone who modifies most of his cars and never does that work himself. people have lives outside of their car even if they love them they can't be expected to fully build and do all the work themselves. If you have the money but not the time to build just to drive then do it. it only helps the industry

[@henrykincaid6821]

Even with a stock powertrain, this truck is pretty cool. Nice job!

[@nabilatouzani923]

MERCI

[@6565250ful]

the 4.0 ranger engine is a monster in 4x4

[@BRollOffroad]

truuuuu

[@rolexmd69]

Agreed! It’s badass. People can talk all the shit they want. Most will never leave the computer much less the highway

[@YeatzeeGuitar]

The clicking noise is actually the bypass shocks, all bypass shocks do that it's just part of them. Race truck parts make race truck noises 👍

[@CapablePimento]

yeatzee7786 Thank you. I was waiting for Jake to correct him. Then for someone to say that. More up votes please

[@manddy05554]

I replied to someone with this. Told them even Stewart raceworks luxury prerunners make noise in the cab.

[@dalandser562]

I could hear that dash too lol

[@aidanbanner5473]

That sound sucks but if your having fun who cares

[@sandy3629]

@@aidanbanner5473 i honestly think jts really cool. its like a typewriter lmao

[@Stuka87]

People bitching about the squeaks have obviously NEVER been in an actual race vehicle. Sound deadening is nothing but added weight. Awesome truck dude!!

[@TheFanatic340]

As someone who owns a race vehicle, felt tape doesn't weigh anything and quiets the cab to hear the important things more.

[@TheSmokingTire]

Whoops, seem to have a render error in the ad up front. Sloppy on my part. - MF

[@blazecarr]

No big deal sir, still a great video

[@willywillywillywillywilly]

TheSmokingTire The shakyness/lack of stabilization?

[@botdingo]

run the truck over the Whoops and it'll get smoother

[@tdolan500]

Willy Willy it's the Hert shake cam, it's all the rage.

[@robertper4102]

Lol, I was wondering about that.... It happens

[@maxxjettfilms6322]

nice to see a prerunner that actually is a legit Desert runner! Not a lifted in the front, stock suspension truck going for just the look.

[@MichaelRCarlson]

That and proper rims for off road also, not those 20 inch plus mall crawler wheels.

[@Ramon.Santiago]

that's me right now lol. I'm just piecing it together one at a time as the money and parts come in. 5.5 up front with shackles in the rear haha

[@timm5970]

Yeah cause the suspension is over 10k. Why would u expect any street truck to have that

[@firestorm734]

"tight budget" - Buys king shocks.

[@markriley141]

James Fish shocks are the cheap part.

[@dirtbagsinc.1689]

They cost as much as the original truck prolly lol

[@sbranham86]

That’s what I was thinking when I seen the kings

[@DeltaOps3]

Tight budget- also has supercharged 350z lol

[@SMBGarageChannel]

You know you're up late when you're still awake for the One Take upload...

[@damigoham3593]

SMB Garage my alarm is set for it

[@DJFiTRemixes]

[@booth5578]

SMB Garage my sleep schedule is fucked up

[@TheYummyBrand]

Opossum she don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie...

[@natehawesvideo]

Same man, dropping my suboxone dose from .5 to even lower is killing me. This vid is a welcome 'morning' pick me up. Now I wanna slide my fozzie in some gravel

[@FastPaull]

The suspension alone is worth more than 2 rangers.

[@philbertlovely7724]

Had a hard choice this morning between picking to watch this and Jay Leno's new Ford GT.

[@jody024]

Both!

[@notahacker2107]

This, by far has got to be the coolest thing you have filmed so far in your career. personal opinion of course!

[@dugweacr1]

glad to see you on pka. been fans of theirs for years now. It really seems like most of the viewers really liked having you on the show and i hope you go back on in the future.

[@matgee8892]

I wonder if Matt ever wonders to himself just how he convinced all these people to let him play with their awesome toys. I suppose being a nice guy and working your arse off might actually work

[@TheSmokingTire]

Mat Guest it does, along with showing respect for the owner and the vehicle.

[@jonotwist]

TheSmokingTire oh. so under desk handies aren't the way to get a gig like that. and here I thought I could skip all the hard work. Coolest video yet. thank you, TST.

[@2811JPR]

That Caselli logo on the steering wheel, I got to hang out with Kurt a few times at the Tecate Hare Scrambles and at the xgames and he was just such an awesome guy, may he ride in peace.

[@jeffsloane8628]

The joy on Matt's face is worth the thumbs up!

[@OhighOSkater]

Definitely my favorite vehicle that has been on One Take. Awesome! I would love to daily that thing

[@t.calhoun4911]

The one thing that makes me laugh every One Take is the awkward handshakes and fist bumps. Love your vids keep up the good work. Cheers from Seattle

[@TACTICSRUS]

That's freaken sweet.... Coyote SWAP!!!!!

[@santochow]

At first the rattles annoy me, but as soon as they went to the sandy area, i totally forgot about the rattles and smiles uncontrollably. So nice to be you, Matt. :D

[@EdwardAlcala]

New off-road series, One whoop.

[@andrewpolhamus7078]

The whoops @ 11:50 were the best part, never laughed so hard at a OneTake LOL Nice work Matt

[@2005blackpearl]

"Oh oh yeah oh yeah that's good for your back". Listen to that with your eyes closed 😄

[@RussNicholls]

Could go down as one of my favorite one takes, didn't expect that when I clicked on it!

[@ErronKebabb]

I caught myself smiling throughout this WHOLE video Matt! Sick!!!

[@TD94S]

This is the coolest car/owner combo I've ever watched on this show!

[@TennesseeCheeZe]

nice, I'm a truck guy so I really dig the offroad episode.. hope you can do more like this .

[@BippNdip]

Great to see a one take with an off-road vehicle. Would love to see more variety in the types of vehicles like this!

[@r.dunlap4139]

Cool owner. I enjoy watching Matt have a good time.

[@tickthegsx]

That thing is dope. Probably gets a lot of hate for doing it with under powered engine; but once that changes this thing could be a monster. Better then most of the half ass build ones i see around Az

[@TheRyanmluke]

ive never seen Matt so excited haha

[@bustermcslick8145]

I couldn't like this more. Good kid, good build and Matt I don't think I've seen you have more fun

[@Epson5000]

I'm not a quartz guy but I will give the Vincero credit, it does look a lot better in person and on your wrist than it does online

[@dirtlifemagazine]

Not a trophy truck...but glad to see a legit desert truck on your show.

[@blueman5924]

prerunnermaniac Did you watch his episode in Dubai with the big red Ford 4x2? That was cool as well.

[@practicalguy973]

Yeah. Its a nice truck but its actually just a prerunner. It couldn't be further from a trophy truck.

[@dansouthwell256]

I hope a kick ass company teams up and helps this kid out! Sweet truck!

[@kaymanclark]

Havent watched TST in a year. But you finally have a truck so i had to watch!

[@toastymahboi]

Here from PKA, always been a car guy and happy to add another channel to my must-watch list! Big Ranger fan myself, have had 4 and have 2 currently

[@luisbalderrama8145]

This has to be one of the coolest OneTakes you have done Matt. I really loved this truck, the owner, and the terrain. Keep up the great content dude!! Cheers!^^

[@christianstephens6050]

This was sick, thanks Matt. Some more offroad videos would be awesome. I'm thinking rock crawling and maybe some mud!

[@mrmidnight32]

That Dirt Alliance sticker says it all. They build some of the best customer truck in SoCal

[@FlyinGato]

That's a SWEET truck. I need to get myself a truck to add to my growing fleet of cars and motorcycles.

[@chrisdooley6468]

This will be awesome once there's a V8 in it

[@Tricknutting]

Chris Dooley Only if he LS swaps it. Fords garbage, you know that right?

[@brendan25]

Michael Ellis 351 will suffice. Wouldn't want a less powerful 350

[@DimiGem]

I wanna put 2jz in a off road tacoma idk if its a smart thing to do

[@nomadben]

@Cody Pettigrew rgggghhnnggggg I LOVE straight sixes

[@SforSytosis]

This thing is badass, to everyone bitching lets see YOU build something like this on your own on a realistic budget.

[@VicVoss]

Man that truck was nice. It was so nice I watched it twice

[@WestDesertShooter]

Trucks are good I'd love to see more and I know California has a shit ton of prerunners

[@headkiller109]

West Desert Shooter this guys from San Diego I think

[@beetfarmer8933]

This is one of the best episodes I've seen in a while.

[@norgepalm7315]

I love how happy Matt looks driving this.

[@CorradoVR6z]

That thing looks super badass!

[@abedanielspictures]

As a lifelong Ranger owner (5 of them) I would really like to see a 4 liter OHC V6 engine in this beast! Way cool truck!

[@theejoeylee]

FINALLY a RANGER!!

[@Altanabstick]

Hahahaha this is the first time I couldn't help myself but laugh. The last 3 minutes are fantastic! Great car, just kickass man. Lovely onetake.

[@mojojoji5493]

This car has been my dream ever since I played with car toys in the dirt

[@mojojoji5493]

Ferruzzicati troll

[@420inmysystem2]

I'm building my 2nd generation 4runner like this. so far I just did the manual to electric fan conversion for the 3. slow and next is my suspension. I'm just making everything oem for now while I save up for the long travel suspension with some kings and the Tacoma 4.0 engine swap, obviously I'm getting all the goodies. if you guys are interested I'll make videos of the build progress and stuff. 3" body lift and 2" suspension lift on 33" is how I have it now

[@JordanLedbetter]

Way too much of a body lift for high speed desert.

[@hyzaar99]

I really enjoyed this! It's refreshingly different than street cars.

[@TheBobes]

This is really impressive rebuild. Looks like a ton of fun.

[@LimiterBanger]

Props to the caselli sticker in the middle of the steering wheel

[@JoshPayneMusic]

Watch every video but this might be my favorite One-Take yet, awesome

[@LifewithJakeandDarcy]

Josh Payne hell yea! awesome to hear! thanks!👍

[@terrybroadway]

Super cool. Hopefully you get to drive it again after the engine swap, Matt. That whoops section about had me on the floor. Hilariously awesome.

[@lvwrx]

Absolutely love trophy trucks, marvels of engineering and some good wrenchin

[@chetmanly5331]

Definitely looking at purchasing one of dem watches. Real classy designs.

[@jm7-6]

This thing looks amazing! Awesome build even with stock powertrain. It's fun to drive slow cars fast especially when the rest of the car is built to handle and take more than what you can give it.

[@brycebelton290]

Those rattles are much better than the noises my prerunner makes haha

[@suavehouse5150]

2 great things just happen Matt! A much needed truck review and off-roading 👍🏽👍🏽

[@clubracer6]

Great owner, great video! I loved everything about it! Literally as laughing out load! Thanks guys!

[@beagelbird1]

DUDE! That first walk around reminded me of an old Popeye cartoon with the GOONS in it!

[@ThePedalDance]

love it! glad to see a variety of vehicles on the channel:)

[@TrashHeapCustodian]

This is the dopest Ranger I've ever even heard of, I love it! Hopefully you get to drive it again after he shoves a V8 in it so you and the audience can see the comparison. :)

[@zxibit3081]

gotta have this guy back after the power mods

[@raygotz1069]

Awesome to see these type of builds

[@angst1974]

I am 100% a road racing type guy , but this is neat !

[@mattleonard5268]

Hey matt! This is my kind of truck! I hope you find more prerunners to drive and have fun!

[@cutthroat795]

Rangers make awesome trophy trucks

[@Towert7]

That truck looks the business!

[@marcos9885]

Farah got funnier on the whoops! haha, great videos man

[@ModestNeophyte]

this looks just like the gta v map out west of sandy shores airfield hah

[@BurtSampson]

That place is fun to play with the in game trophy truck too.

[@thecartruthreport8451]

Suspension and tires FTW. Holds true on dirt too!

[@BrennanMcKissick]

I bet this thing is fun as hell.

[@grizzly9960]

More off-road stuff like this please!!!!

[@eliasmasud3368]

If this is hungry valley In Gorman that's my home town! Lived in that place for 14 years seen a lot of badass prerunners but this is the best prerunner that's been out there no doubt!

[@justjoeable]

baja is love, baja is life do a baja bug if you can!

[@user-hs2hd7wp9g]

That thing with AWD and a V8 tiptronic gearbox would be a weapon ! Anyway, it's still a very well built truck, props to the owner.

[@sunnyd26]

ending was awesome

[@Bronkey469]

Just a heads up the metal on metal is actually from the bypass valves in the shocks. Doesnt matter how much you spend or fab, you WILL get those clicks

[@Zonda.691]

Please do a follow up when the V8 comes in!! Dude's truck is insane

[@friend_built]

I'm not into trucks but this one is bad ass

[@b78hewitt]

love the dirt toys

[@caspforge]

I'm gonna go to work and drive my work ranger like this now...

[@TayAllen54]

Awsome build and cool owner!

[@jimothyus]

this is one of the cooler ones i think

[@trevorwray]

Love it! More prerunners!

[@johnbehneman1546]

Excellent video, excellent truck. Thanks for sharing. You made my day.

[@MattChristie]

My 1st vehicle was a 1990 Ford Ranger. It was nothing like this badass machine though!

[@jakeschreiner9398]

Good video, looks like y'all had a great time!

[@baker967]

i dont think most people realize how much money time and work goes into these, great vid great truck

[@Ry_Guy]

Cool! A little bit of foam here and there should help the rattles. Seems some of it is coming from pieces rubbing on the roll cage.

[@kyleminissale3318]

best review yet. I smiled the entire time

[@Darklighter43]

Had a smile the whole video.

[@thecocooreo]

That was awesome!!!

[@shorecyclist]

Glad to see the bike close to a door:) Looking like you've lost some #'s. Looking good!
