Yes, ANOTHER project vehicle! This one I actually needed! Follow as I modify this truck! Future plans include new lights, a lift with bigger 33" tires, and lots of mods! Don't worry, I still have the 2017 Mustang, the 1990 Miata and the 1989 Prelude. More videos of those will be coming.
![HOW MUCH SO FAR? [part 26] 2002 Ford Ranger EDGE](/img/n.gif)
I just got a ranger just like yours, but white and your my inspiration to make mine look like yours.. I'm a woman and i have beeing doing everything by myself. and your videos are really helpfull.. thank you..
Estefany Camacho that’s awesome! Good for you! Best of luck!
@@OhYeahAboutThat its sad your selling that truck.. how you end up selling it
Estefany Camacho it sold immediately within hours of positing for sale.
@@OhYeahAboutThat I'm not surprised rangers last forever if you do all the basic maintenance. I just got my second ranger a 98 5speed manual 4 banger and I want to do a little lift and things like you did. I used to have a 94 4.0 automatic and I loved that one too but I really like the stick shift and the 98s looks over the 94, the year you have is probably the best looking in the front end in my opinion.
So I have 07 ford ranger xlt and I have done a lot of work on it It had new tires and new format brakes and a lift kit on it to
This is one of the nicest, well kept rangers I’ve ever seen anywhere.
Never seen mine that’s why 😉
@@sciamachystandard3676 same
That's because it's California.
@@sciamachystandard3676 exactly lol
4:00 Look at him take those sparks straight to the fingers, what an absolute unit
I really enjoy my '02 Ranger. It has over 365K miles on it and still runs great!
Mike Warren that’s great! This is my second Ranger and my fourth Ford truck.
OhYeahAboutThat what engine is in it
3.0 V6
Is it automatic ?
5 speed manual
It’s crazy how many people are talking mess cause it’s 2wd like the average person uses 4x4 more then a couple times a year.
Jonathan Lamb true. It doesn’t bother me. You need to have a thick skin if you have a CZcams channel! Thanks for the positive comment.
I use 4x4 4-5 times a week riding around my failed checks traps and hunting
maybe so, but it's nice to have 4WD in the snow, because snow sucks.
I build 2wd rangers because I've never had a 4x4 ranger handle what a 2wd ranger can my toy is a 98 mid travel Ford ranger PreRunner build and my daily is a 01 edge 5 speed lifted as well I go wheeling all the time and have no problem going where most 4x4 trucks go let alone if I get stuck in my PreRunner you're 4x4 won't make it trust me !
all depends what you do
On my second ranger now. My first truck was a ranger. It was my dream truck before I could drive and still is to this day. I break my neck looking at these trucks more than any other vehicle 😂 this series makes me want to restore mine. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼
Gabe Guzman awesome!
Even though you sold that YJ, I still watch your videos. You do everything the right way and it's inspiring to someone getting into entrepreneurship. All my money goes into trying to make more money so that I can do stuff like this. You seem to be enjoying financial freedom. Love the content.
JeepWhyJay thank you for the comment. I’ll have another Jeep one day. I’ve had several in the past. Financial freedom? I wish. I do enjoy these vehicles and the little projects I’m able to do with them.
I have an 00 mazda b2500 and after 20 years still runs strong. Inspirational video here. Looks amazing!
Nice Ranger! I had the same lift on my '08 Sport and loved it. if you want more travel inexpensively, '90s Jeep Cherokee front shocks will give you a few more inches there and early Super Duty on the back for about twelve inches. Both bolt right on, but you'll want adjustable ones to stiffen the front as they're not set up for the leverage of the a-arms, and soften the rear because it's half the weight. lol
Dean Jenkins thanks!
When the spare tires was dangling over head, that made me chuckle. Nice truck, looking really good before and after the lift.
Earth Inc. thank you!
One of the last good looking trucks they ever made
Hey man that's a beautiful truck.. my son owns the exact same vehicle in Red.... And he is in the process of lifting the vehicle now Ford ranger it's a great little I have owned many in my time keep trucking ✌️
Wow! Now that looks like a true Danger Ranger!! Awesome.
Just got a 98 ranger single cab and I can’t wait to fix it up!
It's beautiful! Great work.👍
I recently got an 05 Edge 2wd Ext cab and I have been going through the videos for this truck and now the black ones for ideas. I definitely want to give mine a more level and 4wd stance.
Your truck looks awesome! I just bought one of these yesterday! Can’t wait to put some mods into it. Great job! 👍🏼
Melissa thank you!!
I fit 285-75R16, equivalent to 33x12x15 without all of that. Stock ride high is same for 2wd and 4wd Edge. All that I had to do on my 2004 Edge 4x4 was crank the torsion bars to max. It leveled the truck perfect. Tires cleared with zero issues of any sort.
I ride with 265/75/r16's NP I just put a level kit in and up grading to 34
cool ranger. I love the single cabs. I would love to get one like this with a coyote motor.
I'm just about to pick up a 03 Ranger 4x4. Your build is a very nice inspiration.
Thank you and good luck!
These 2wd rangers with lockers in the rear will honestly out do most 4wds (not in rock crawling) my 94 with no lift has no problems in the mud
No they wont
You did a nice job...I have a 2011 with 75,000 Miles. I love it. I am going to do the same lift you have. Love the look.
Thanks! Make sure to check out my latest Ranger project
It would be awesome if you could find a front axle and transfer case to make this a 4x4 ranger. Love the new stance and tires, aggressive as hell.
TxGamer13 yeah. These EDGE models were made for places like California. The look of 4wd in a 2wd truck.
TxGamer13 what do i need to make my Ranger 4x4 just that A Front axles and Transfer case from a 4x4 Ranger?
IDABAYAREA650I I think having a Ranger Edge with the torsion bars is a good start. Other than that, not quite sure.
OhYeahAboutThat ohh, no then cause i have a 01 XLT Ranger?
IDABAYAREA650I I’m not sure of the details, but I bet you can still do it.
Good video. I just picked up Nice 1998 Ranger with 86k miles. Already lift and level kit, with Goodyear’s. 👍🏽
HARD ENDURO thanks! Next week’s video is about this truck.
Man this truck looks amazing 👌🏽 can you updates the link of the parts that you used please, because I can’t find it.
I got a 99 ranger for my birthday she’s all black but videos like this give me ideas on what I want to do
Only in California will you find a 2wd Ranger with a 3” lift and 33” tires, what are you planning on doing with this?
Crusty Rusty's Restoration I plan on enjoying it and using it for work around my property.
OhYeahAboutThat ahhh nice! You should do a 4x4 conversion and hit the trails! It’s a ton of fun and rangers do pretty well when beefed up
Crusty Rusty's Restoration mine has a 4 inch with 35
A lot of people in California build Prerunners for the desert
Slimmy Turner nice! Mines sitting on a 2.5 inch and 31s
Bro.. You are such an inspiration. Looking to buy my 2nd Ranger project truck. But through your videos, I see that I don't have to go through the expense of buying a loaded Ranger off the bat. I can save money on the front end and get a good donor, then over time I can do all the upgrades and personalization. Thanks for all the videos. I have watched them all, and subbed. I know they take time to do, edit, upload, etc.
Thanks awesome. Thank you so much!
Looking to do this with my ranger! Seriously looking to buy that same kit you bought as well. Was EVERYTHING you needed included in that kit? Besides asking them to include the longer shocks, and do they charge anything extra for that?
Devin Fine I called the eBay seller and had them include the shocks. I also then purchased rear loft blocks because I wanted it to sit level. All of this stuff together was from eBay. Find a seller and call them to get your exact price. Overall, it was not costly.
Were the longer shocks absolutely needed?
I think they were. I doubt the factory shocks would have had enough travel. There’s only one way to know for sure! The sad part is my rear shocks were new when I got the truck.
Devin Fine I have a 98 ranger and I did a 4 inch lift on mine, I went to a actually company called Max Trax, they came with a 4 in spindle and 2 inch shackles, I bought 2 inch lift blocks on the back and it sat perfectly level. The stock shocks do not fit with the lift they are too short and do not recommend driving with them after the lift.
I was watching a video on CZcams about how bad lifted trucks are. It says that lifting them causes so many parts to wear such as transmission spline shaft could snap off overtime from being at the incorrect angle, wheel bearings, axles. Is this true? Because I want to lift my Ranger but I don't want any of that stuff happen lol
I have a 2003 Edge same color and everything. Crazy. Beautiful truck man.
Can you please tell me the eBay seller for the new tires and the numerations. I'm lifting my 2000 4x4 ford ranger and likely to upgrade the tires. Also would I have to install the spacers? Thank you for your time.
Here’s the link. You should not need spacers to clear the 15x8 wheels for these tires. Good luck
rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F111982980599
OhYeahAboutThat would you mind sending me the link to these tires? This link you provided does not work anymore. Thank you!
They are no longer for sale on eBay. I just tried to find them. Sorry.
Gorgeous truck! I have a red one, too! Edge, from 2002 and I can slide the windows in the back... I love it. I'm learning a lot from your videos. Great job! Thank you! 🛻✌️
Thank you! I no longer have this one, but I replaced it with a black 07. New playlist for that truck!
wow looks awesome man, i have the same exact truck except mines an 03, same color and everything. Plan on doing the same thing in the near future. how difficult was it to install the spindles? also did the lift blocks come with shims to correct the pinion angle?
Toxicity thank you, fellow SOAD fan! The spindles required some grinding on the lower control arms, but totally doable. The lift blocks were made for this truck, so they had the correct angle built in.
thanks for the quick reply!
I have an '01 XLT ranger 4.0 SOHC 2WD and I absolutely love that truck although I'm going to have to rebuild the engine at some point due to a rear main seal leak suspension work and tires are a definite must soon bought it for 600 bucks all I did was rear brake lines and upper control arms and it's driving nicely other than cupped tires and 205000 miles in planing on either V8 swapping it or rebuilding the 4.0 and making it a mild build engine. Paint job is also a must but that'll come later
"Red Ranger, perfectly restored..." 🗨🙄👘🔑🌀⛱
Great little truck. Since it is a 2wd running that size of tire. Regear to bring it back to stock gearing. Put a Detroit Trutrac in the rear, and you would have a sweat capable little rig. Again, nice truck.
Te quedo muy muy buena!
I fell in love on this truck
It was a good one, for sure!
Did you upgrade your brakes too??
StrikeForce Dad no. Maybe one day.
Braking is for pussy
I'm doing a 98 did a new 8.8 with 5.13 gears and 6.5 lift with new leafsprings that has 6 leafs per side instead of the wimp stock springs and front with 4 inch lift spindels and 2 in lift spring with all new 15x10 rims with 35,s in back and 33 s in front and every thing under the truck that unbolts getting replaced then a camo paint job on top of raptor bed liner, going to run the 4cyl for a while to take advantage of the gas mileage after driving a dually with a 454 in it that gets 7 miles to the gallon but later I may take the 4cyl out and swap it with 400 small block and a muncie 4 speed that should be kinda fun.
Next time, wear some gloves when using a grinder. -Safety Nazi
Travelin' Ted not supposed to wear gloves with grinder. If they catch your hand will get grinded.
Yes Stance of the wheels and the lift on the truck looks perfect
Thanks! I always thought 33s on a lifted small truck looked good.
2wd ranger thats gay
Watchfulseven 52 na
You’re just jealous because you’re pos s10 don’t look as good
Looks awesome! Why on earth didn't Ford make this exact truck as a 4x4??!!
Wooow bro .... looks awesome!!!! in spite of being 2002 today in 2019 does not ask anything to one of this date beautiful!!!!
Thanks! Make sure to check out all 41 videos in the playlist to see what it looks like now!!
OhYeahAboutThat I have one of the same year, but black and has a step to one side, it is already raised ... but yours is another level is very well detailed... I just watched your other videos of the stereo and the led lights .. and it looks wonderful, I will take many of your ideas .. thanks .. mine needs a lot to look the same..
Joseph De castellanos wow, thanks for the compliment! Good luck with yours.
Looks good with the bigger tires! There's just something about a red truck, too.
That is the coolest looking Ford Ranger ever. In a way I think a Ranger could be a great off road truck with a V8 4WD and lifted up it would be sick af
You think? I’d love a 5.0 in it but this is California and swaps are a PITA.
That thing looks amazing!
dig it bro! I HAVE A 88 4x4 XLT that i stretched the front ibeams and axle shafts, 2inch lift coils and so forth, rear 2.5 in leafs on a 8.8 4.11 gears all around, running 31x10.50x15s, soon as i get fiberglass fenders we'll go to 33s
Kevin Dean nice! These trucks look good lifted!
Kevin Dean do you have a link to the coils you used for the front?
there just 2wd 1.5 leveling coils for a 5.0 f150 coils from rough country. use f150 coil buckets but made the taller so the coils didn't give me more lift then i could do without having to use a axle drop bracket but gave me plenty of travel
Damn!!! I felt in love of this truck!!
JohanKarel lol that’s awesome
Definitely digging the new set of tires, the first ones looked too exaggerated rock crawler look. It’s really coming together!!
So Beatiful! Nice work! Hughes from Brasil!
I needed the idea on how to do lifts on a ranger (Bc I have one lol) thanks!
15 seconds into the video blew my speakers XD
Dude... I need my truck to look this good Well done!
TheGreatGabezby thank you!
I love your proyect my friend! I have a Ranger 2005 double cab... I'm eager to work on it based on you ideas. You are antes inspiration yo me. I hope to have my Truck as Nice as yours! Waiting for new videos.... Greetings from Argentina!
Luis Maidana great! Good luck with yours!
Tough truck bro
The perfect look for that truck. Nice work.
Pochonesian thank you! I’ve done lots more so please check out the playlist.
My ‘03 ranger Edge has a 3 inch lift, but the body on mine is really banged up. Really want to fix mine up like yours.
Wow didnt know people like rangers i have one just like this one red is the best color on this model !
Jesus Ramos people love them!
Don’t forget to grind off the little turn bump stops. When I spindle lifted my 2001 single cab edge many many moons ago the first u-turn I made I learned quick 😂 it collapses the calipers and when you try to brake it goes right to the floor until you pump it back up. Grind those suckers off before you have a heart attack.
chpjimmy right! We did that but I wonder if we didn’t grind off enough! Thanks!!
Fantastic job👍 think it make my 01' Black Edge just as Amazing, damn Impresive, 👏 well done!!!
Nice bro! I just picked up a 97 out here in Alpine and I’m thinking of doing something like this!
Go for it!
Yours will be a different lift kit than the Edge.
Love it
Arnson Jessop thank you! Lots of new videos in this playlist!
I own a 05 xlt 4x4
Thank you sir I got an 05 ranger edge and wanted to see what it would look like lifted
Same
Nicest ranger I've ever seen. Awesome.
Jameel A thanks very much!
That driver-side shock is a bit of a pain, there is hardly any room up there. The passenger side on the other hand is easy peasy.
Badass little truck
Why are the factory lift blocks between the leaf springs & u bolt hold down brackets. Put them under the leaf springs & you will about 2- 3 inches how ever tall those factory lift blocks are
Great build man! Looks great. Miss my ole ranger. Have a video similar to yours
Mak Motors thanks. I love this truck. I’ll check out your video.
I didn't see coil over spring in the front as he was installing the spindles on your 2002 Ford Ranger Edge.
I have a 2000 Ford Ranger XLT with a 4.0L RWD. It's going to be more work to lift the truck 3 to 4 inches because it has front coil over suspension.
Johnny Duong yeah. The 2wd edge is the easiest and cheapest to lift
I wish you the best of luck when all of those lug bolts snap off because they aren't hub centric spacers.
It’s been two years with no issues at all.
At the start of the video there was an ad for the new front-wheel-drive garbage that Ford hung the Edge name on .😞
I have a 01 4.0 4x4 xlt blue. Love the rangers. Except the new one looks like a f150. Love rangers they still price pretty good for what you get
2020 Slots thanks. That’s why I bought another one!
@@OhYeahAboutThat it's Cadillac Phill now. Check my ranger out on my channel rangers are the best. This body style, very nice work on this truck. I'll never part with my ranger.
I have an 02 ranger edge 2wd cool truck except without 4wd youll get stuck on a gravel road dont even think about snow or ice.
Joe Jirak not really i have a 2wd ranger been to the snow and sand no issues what so ever
Would take this Little red Ford over the new crap of today! Well done gentleman...🏜️✌️
MOJAVE DESERT ha ha. Thank you!
Your ranger looks bad ass!
Looks great
Looks awesome, that tire shop is in my town, cool.
Jehu Morales oh yeah? Mine too !
Gone there in the past, maybe I'll see the truck sometime
What store do they have a website?
Your truck is perfect.
Not perfect but decent I guess. Thanks for the comment!
I never really noticed it until now but that truck was dropped in the rear to even out the ride height if anyone has a stock ranger edge or maybe any stock ranger then you know about that terrible rake. it had a piece of 2 inch square tubing on top of the leaf springs but from factory they come with a 1.5 -2 inch block that is mounted under the springs but because it was dropped that’s probably why the shackles didn’t do much but regardless of all that to get it leveled out the way you wanted it you would’ve had to buy taller lift blocks anyway which is what I’ll end up doing as well
Beautiful Truck! Since I’m getting an SUV, I’m thinking of a project small pickup 🛻
Thank you. I’m now working on a black 07 Ranger. Lots of videos in that playlist!
good project bro!!... I have a ford ranger 2004 edge and I hope to start with my project this 2018 good vibes
Adrian rodriguez abreu thanks and good luck!
That truck looks amazing!
shawn thank you! I’m very happy with the way it looks.
Id like to have a beater Ranger or s10 with a 4 banger. It would he super fun to play around with
Jacoby Noctis plenty of those around for cheap!
What a beautiful truck
Thank you very much. Make sure to check out all the videos to see how it looks today
This truck looks sick but I would never have done a body lift on top of a lift kit or a body lift in general because they’re very unstable
Jake Washburn thanks but this truck didn’t have a body lift. It only had the suspension lift.
Looks Awesome!
Cheap is obviously a relative term!
Michael Dunlap very true!
I wanna make a truck build just like this!!! I need one so bad
Ok I need to start watching the whole video before I comment
I have a 2007 ranger and im planning on doing something similar to this
Very very nice!
Grilling with Jay thank you!
Bro that’s looks bad ass
u got parts numbers...?
Really nice looking truck man looking to do something similar with my 97
fuflang thanks! Good luck with yours.
Looks awesome can't wait to get my ranger
Jesus Christ thanks! Another video this Wednesday! Check out the playlist.
Very nice looking ranger !
Thank you!!
I like the look of the regular cab , but I'm not sure I would fit . I have the extra cab , and my front seat is pushed back further than it could go in a regular cab .
This video should have been called "More Gap, More Poke" since it's basically car porn. Looks really good man!
Because Miata thank you, kind sir!
