Ultimate off-road Ford Ranger build - SAS, 37s, fuel cell, lots of dents

Build info on DoubleMint, the former Forest Service truck that was given a second chance as an amazing off-road rig with a solid axle swap and 37" tires.

Offroading is like a dance between man, machine, and Mother Nature.

That is a nice Ranger

[@TarheelOverland]

Thanks!

[@tcfauto]

awesome truck!

[@mindtrick714]

solid build!

[@lol123321123321]

Awesome truck man! I feel like the full size bronco springs are a little too heavy on the spring rate for a ranger. Probably elinates the need for any need for a swaybar though.

Badass rig and excellent video man! Who owns the truck now ?

[@TarheelOverland]

It was a cool rig. You don’t see too many SAS Rangers running around. It attracted a lot of attention, which was fun. Not much aftermarket available though. The guy that bought it came up from the Atlanta area.

[@TarheelOverland]

Add an Atlas transfer case and a front axle and you’ll be ready to have some fun!

8:30 Where's that? Looks nice.

[@nofortunatesonII]

You stated it has '79 Dana 44. I am guessing this would be a 449F with reverse cut gears?

[@EliAngwin]

How did you manual swap the T case?

[@ProudDadKev]

I know this is a year old, but are you available for a couple of questions?

[@devinpena10]

Do you feel that your gear ratio in low enough?

[@devinpena10]

Hey how's it going what is the height of the bottom of your frame

[@hillcharlie2761]

My question everyone keeps telling me I can't run 37s on my 99 3.0 4x4 I have 4.10 gears 5 speed manual would I really have any issues with the 37s?

[@TarheelOverland]

I wouldn’t recommend it. I had 4.88s and wished I had lower gearing, especially off-road. You might be able to get away with it on the street, but your clutch will hate you.

[@ol48spring]

What rear differential? I have a 97

[@anthonytrombley3964]

Are you planning on keeping the ranger? Or selling it?

[@TarheelOverland]

Hi Anthony, I sold it about 18 months ago.

[@rmrstephen]

What brush guard is that ?

[@TarheelOverland]

Affordable Off-road
