Ford Ranger Homebrew Trophy Truck - One Take

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@FastPaull]

The suspension alone is worth more than 2 rangers.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@booth5578]

[@jacobwalls452]

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

[@OhighOSkater]

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

[@RussNicholls]

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

[@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

[@MattChristie]

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

[@TennesseeCheeZe]

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

[@TACTICSRUS]

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

[@ErronKebabb]

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

[@lvwrx]

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

[@philbertlovely7724]

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

[@jody024]

Both!

[@andrewpolhamus7078]

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

[@Zonda.691]

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

[@rvrx2004ify]

I tried to clean my screen twice

[@o2boutdoors]

This "Sandy Tire" direction works for me.

[@ernieromanmedina]

Bet, Matt's next toy.... A trophy truck.

[@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.

[@JoshPayneMusic]

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

[@LifewithJakeandDarcy]

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

[@baker967]

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

[@Darklighter43]

Had a smile the whole video.

[@grizzly9960]

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

[@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.

[@ItsMikeArre]

Cars the smoking tire Boats the floating pile Trucks the off-road flyer

[@Maneras03]

Mike Arredondo Grand Theft Matto

[@johnpro9866]

can you do birthday reviews? one cake..

[@McNasty43]

john pro I appreciate you.

[@johnpro9866]

Andre McGee thanks

[@joes.7536]

Nice, drop in a 302 H.O. out of a fox body with an E303 cam and a world class t5 and your ready to rock.

[@Mopardavid24v]

Jakes truck is beast asf he'll yeah

[@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

[@EdwardAlcala]

New off-road series, One whoop.

[@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.

[@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

[@dylanl9532]

Wow, awesome! That's a lot of fun.

[@augustbiernbaum4841]

I just watched Parker’s new video, with the same Vincero watches commercial

[@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

[@v_alexiadis]

Sweet! Now we want a video of you driving the Focus on that dirt road :D

[@notahacker2107]

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

[@MFV12]

There is a nice Giant MTB at the beginning, will we see a One Take of it :D

[@ViperVenom]

Those outside drive by shots look like they are in slow mo. Cool truck should do a second take after the V8 swap.

[@victorcoleman949]

Makes me miss my '05 FX4 Level II... loved that truck, even with the horrid highway manners, and piss poor MPG.

[@z-trip5457]

Thinking that 3.0L V6 is not big enough is the most american thing I've heard today.

[@The_Juan_An_Only]

Classic Pre-Runner owner lmao

[@aleoimpala]

Nice rig!

[@bgiunta2773]

That thing rattles like a miata

[@Yourlocalandy]

nightmanFPV i can vouch for that

[@michaelbonfield1052]

he was doing 55 off road lol of course it's gunna make some noise

[@bgiunta2773]

haha yeah yeah, I just had to make the connection.

[@jody024]

Self built Trophy truck what did you expect....

[@MitchellCamps]

Million dollar trophy trucks rattle like this, so.

[@krippkillaa]

Gotta do a video when it gets more power.

[@angst1974]

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

[@user-eo1hy6sk4x]

Sounds like the bed is full of beer cases.

[@tornut24]

Keksi the Labrador That would be the dream, wouldn't it?

[@mdevietro]

Sweet truck but the metal on metal rattle would drive me insane.

[@saadqureshi7127]

mdevietro u read my mind. I was thinking of the same thing... lol 😂

[@AWDfreak]

The metal on metal rattle reminds me of the HMMWV's I drove in the Army... It's not so bad if you're used to noisy trucks already.

[@ceasetruth]

it's all part of the deal. not much you can do about it. his shocks can use a little better tuning and that would also get rid of some of the clicks. the main noise you hear is from the bypass shocks opening their valves to bypass the shock oil.

[@jorcktheoutcast8007]

ear muffs

[@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.

[@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.

[@Mike_Costello]

Funniest Smoking Tyre I have seen yet.

[@eyeballengineering7007]

You can try to sell me watches all you want Matt, I'll still watch your videos. ;-)

[@91Wildcat700]

He needs to bring this back when he gets a V8 swapped into it.

[@r.dunlap4139]

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

[@djstrick100]

What's up Matt? I hope all is well. Is there any chance you can get with Larry Chen (Speed Hunters)? He owns a BBI tuned 996 twin turbo. It would be dope to see that car in action. Best, John AKA D.J. Strick.

[@SJulianYZ125]

3 or 4 link rear end will smooth that truck out tremendously. Also swapping to a ranger 4.0 could be a cheaper alternative to a V8 swap, and still give much better power than that 3.0.

[@LifewithJakeandDarcy]

Julian Sears next plans are 6.0 ls2 or lq9, back half 4 link and 37s👍

[@D_Cali_Life]

I have a 2010 Ranger 4.0 , manual transmission And always wanted to build a trophy truck lol

[@beagelbird1]

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

[@SforSytosis]

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

[@gunnarm5853]

Heatwave visual getting bigger

[@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.

[@christianstephens6050]

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

[@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.

[@erickh380]

I stopped noticing that rattling sound after about 7 minutes into the video. It's not really a bad thing I'm sure he owner is used to it just how we are used to having our loud exhaust

[@dansorrell4113]

yes leave it stock ... lets see what this girl will do...

[@chetmanly5331]

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

[@anajay78]

Awesome truck that vulcan v6 is hating life lol.

[@b78hewitt]

love the dirt toys

[@Frietpan]

i would use all the zip ties in the world to even just reduce the rattles a bit :p

[@CrossWindsPat]

He should wait a little longer on the motor swap and do w/e hes gotta do to get rid of those rattles and shit... Look at the dash... Just get rid of it!!! Still pretty sick man I always wanted a trophy truck!!!

[@FlyinGato]

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

[@562socallyfe]

this truck has been around for quite a while check out some vids this thing is epic

[@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!

[@dansouthwell256]

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

[@adampyper8046]

cool truck! had to kill the sound bye 7 mins lol. rattles drove me nuts.

[@caspforge]

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

[@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. :)

[@LimiterBanger]

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

[@catbutt4020]

Ricks dad is rich af

[@XCVi_MAC]

Hmmm I'd pick Hooker's up in that

[@GT-gt4bf]

I could see this thing with a 2.7 ecoboost

[@Balo657]

This gives the wrx a run for its money for rattles lol

[@trevorwray]

Love it! More prerunners!

[@friend_built]

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

[@zxibit3081]

gotta have this guy back after the power mods

[@joshfedoramoore5819]

whats the shirt matts wearing in the intro? its sick

[@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.

[@jimothyus]

this is one of the cooler ones i think

[@VicVoss]

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

[@justjoeable]

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

[@clubracer6]

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

[@bustermcslick8145]

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

[@cutthroat795]

Rangers make awesome trophy trucks
