Austin Berens FORD Ranger | BUILT TO DESTROY

[@sandvitrafilms5270]

Love these new "Built To Destroy" episodes! You should give us an update video on your truck James!!

[@collinhales6356]

Solid “sound densening”

[@backyardbuggies939]

I'm a buggy guy, but I love this channel 👍

[@TheJdog1006]

Always looking forward to watching the latest terracrew video!

[@justinm.791]

What a kickass build, it works so well in the rough!!!

[@rodfatherschopshop6004]

I think you guys should open a shop in Michigan!😎🇺🇸

[@kelevra558]

Such a well sorted build. Respect.

[@dobermanracing]

You should come to the east coast (NJ/PA) and do videos on the crazy buggies and bouncers we have.

[@zimmzttocs]

I'm running a spider Trax fabbed full floater rear.. solid!!

[@dayrock1948]

I know nothing about trucks or prerunners but hope to build one some day I’m guessing when they ask how much travel it’s the amount of space the tires can go up and down??

[@noahrutherford64]

Yeah that’s exactly what it is, it’s the total distance the tires can move

[@damienmasterson311]

you guys should work on getting some partnerships with companies that make long travel kits, fenders, and King shocks to get a giveaway going for anyone with truck looking to start their build. Sell some stuff on the website for entries and change some kids' lives

[@BushkillRider]

Fabrication usually cost more than the parts you want to install. Most "kids" that get free parts will never end up getting them installed on a truck anyway.

[@danieldavis7215]

Why'd you say even i dont have 4.5's like you are the don of big shocks lol

[@davidb7699]

Killer Video and RANGER,,,great Job

[@RicardoRodriguez-br2kg]

You should do the griffenfabworks built jeep (red 2 door) bad ass video!!

[@christopherdaly7965]

No comment about cutting the cab to fully weld the cage?

[@prospectorsoils1240]

I was wondering what was going on there. Great truck that's not quit finished. Looks like the stuff I run!

[@shaunshaunk9297]

I've seen Spider Traxx axles all over . If they are a cheaper option that's a plus !!👍👍

[@greym6436]

Simply a Nice build

[@YellowRanger2619]

TERRACREW the best ⚜💯🏁

[@jeremymachado2773]

Hey man y’all got my inspired what kinda books on suspension geometry can I read to get more knowledge?

[@halfshaftmotorsportsracete7766]

Looks sick dude👊👊

[@theboyc]

What year Ranger did this start as?

[@EdBlack-]

What was the total build cost on this? Planning to do this to my old Ford ranger. Had it for 15yrs broke as a young kid, never got rid of it because I planned to turn it into a prerunner truck like this some day.

[@travisavery4471]

TEAM GFW!

[@CaidanCarroll]

Maybe some can answer this question for me. Why always rangers and not tacomas? The taco is more reliable and they have a very similar size and shape but whats the main difference? Price?

[@sandypineman]

Beams mostly. Originally they were great for cheap travel with the stock mounts and unequal length beams. As more parts are available they become more commonly used. Once you get into this stage of build you're not really using any off the shelf parts for the suspension anymore, but it's more expected to use a ranger and there's more selection on glass for them.

[@CaidanCarroll]

@@sandypineman that makes a lot of sense, thanks for the reply.

[@brookbrent9229]

Because Ranger has a very strong beam frame built to last not like the Tayota will fall apart leave it stocked

[@coachcastrillo]

Nice built

[@davidmays3333]

What a awesome truck! Nice job! What was the build cost of that truck??

[@dylanmccallister1888]

I wish somebody would do a Dakota or S10. I like rangers and that's what I would probably do too but it would be cool to see if it's out there

[@JerryHenderson72]

There's some other trucks done up this way but even the 98 and up Ranger hardly gets used like this . The I beam front suspension on older Fords is just better than the suspension on other trucks , for this kind of stuff at least . I have a 2003 Ranger Edge and it's a awesome little truck , but the dual wishbone suspension isn't capable of having even half as much travel . Beam suspension is why Fords rule this sport , and why they were the first and only choice for loggers to beat on getting to and from work .

[@johncranfordpersonal4146]

Sweet ass truck

[@chiefexecutive]

Man this one is niiiicceee!

[@cameronutter1]

Wait I could of sworn I heard a supercharger wine on that thing

[@chrisclinard1907]

I wouldn't say Spider Trax makes anything that is "affordable" LOL

[@brentleyaulgur7830]

Yucaipa? I live in yucaipa

[@hasonlavajunk9774]

Thats b.s. All the pros run their lightbars on the front of the roof. Never been a problem for me.

[@dancarlos1216]

Pros also don’t run glass dude.

[@ryannance9673]

Hold that dam camera still Beavis

[@erikarevalo1874]

💯

[@sumartolandep]

Indonesia

[@edisondedios]

You need a gimbal

[@ronniebutironi9002]

In the quest for mucho travel, folks have started to build some seriously lifted trucks. Still an excellent build, but not my cup of tea.

[@offwhitecolby]

his trucks not even that lifted

[@dancarlos1216]

You don’t want a huge lift for high speed stuff, gotta keep the cg low so you don’t roll and flip as easy, it’s all about suspension travel and setup.

[@offwhitecolby]

@@dancarlos1216 you also don’t want it to low where it bottoms out or high centers easy.

[@kelevra558]

Never mount LEDs right above the windshield. The beam isn't as focused as a sodium or HID so instead of the beam being controlled it floods out in all directions. LEDs should be mounted as far forward as possible. Literally if you can get a big LED bar on your grille without obstructing too much air flow to the radiator and condenser (if you still have that shit up there), ur chillin. If you dont believe me, try it. Youll be a believer when you do and thats the gospel truth. Point it down. You want the beam to terminate ON THE GROUND!!!!!! Any light thats pointed into empty space is wasted light. You dont want them pointed straight down at all, i would say, if the light sits 4 feet off the ground, you want tilted forward maybe 20°-35° is my guess for your application. My truck is right at 23°and my bar is 41 inches off the ground. My lighting is dialed. Absolutely perfect. I have 2 big HID KCs in the middle, a big LED bar mounted on the bumper below it, my OEM brights and regular beams run together with brights on and those are both the rigid GMC 1500 OBS LED headlight conversion. I have the KCs pointed to the left and right fairly generously, maybe 15°. So when approaching a corner, they light up the entry and at apex the exit. Thats also super important. If all your lights face straight forward, youre going to have a difficult time clipping the apex at night because you wont be able to see it when ur flicking the truck in. Just like you can only go as fast as you can stop, you cant go faster than what you can see. Lighting is so important and you do not i repeat do NOT have to spend thousands of dollars on overpriced LED units. Buy the cheap ones theyre all exactly the same shit when it comes down to it. My light bar is 100% just as powerful as my dads on his RZR, his was $800 and has some 7076 pieces on it, mine was $240 and is all composite. $560 for some anodized aluminum, not for me Jack.

Can someone please tell James Holguin to hold the camera steady!! I like these videos and the content, but I can’t watch them. Way too shaky. I care about the vehicles and how they were built. I don’t want to watch the vehicle owner talk about his truck and only see half of a second of clear video of what he’s actually talking about. Maybe take some notes from Jay Leno’s Garage where the vehicle is the focus and not the owner of the vehicle.
