Las Vegas Tool: The EASYPULLER is the most versatile puller you'll have in your tool box. The tool is easily used by clamping the locking pliers onto any item you want to remove and sliding the 2 lb hammer quickly along the slide bolt to the end creating a powerful pulling force. (Hammering out the item rather than hammering in). By simply removing the 1/4" bolt at the upper jaw and removing the slide hammer assembly the tool can be used as a traditional locking pliers and it comes in a great protective carryin
Miller Electric Manufacturing Co.: All-in-one wire welder that welds 24 gauge - 3/16 in. (0.8-4.8mm) mild steel. The simplest Millermatic to set-up and start welding
Wheel Works Inc.: The Wheel Fit wheel test fit tool is the only tool in the world that will physically clamp to an actual tire for the purpose of test fitting the assembly to check all clearances BEFORE ordering your wheels or mounting tires - Auta a dopravní prostředky
I really dig those blue valve covers
Ikr they're cool
Belarus blue
Yeah they look sick
Yea it adds about 500 HP more. Tinted windows adds 50 horse power.
@@ruben2365 more horse power than the stickers
This was the beginning of the end, 17 minutes of content (with some of their own commercials) in a 30 minute show. I remember setting my alarm for Sunday morning when it was on SPIKE, back in the day.
Just started following this Trucks! Series, im really enjoying the fab and welding stuff entertaining and useful.
Rangers are much better Trucks than the S-10 chevys…….. Glad to see an awesome build on this Ford Ranger
I love this series keep up the good work! These small ranger type pickups are perfect for putting in a monster engine!
This has to be the best build they ever did. Love this little ranger
Nice fab work guys!
Love the tech!
Great project
Keep up the great work guys!
Do people know this thing is more than a couple years old? Find it funny when people tell them what to do, like bruh this thing has already been built
Thank you
It’s been over 6 years lol
Copyright date of 2011 at end of video
Bro I know lol😆I agree. Remember watching the whole series episode build.
Its still a cool project to watch and pick up ideas for your pickup from.
Yeah buddy from work from Aleskyfinis
Great project! I like everything you’re doing, but I’d dump those tiny mirrors - the only negative in the entire truck.
This show has gotten so cheeze
Fellows, I would never use aluminum wiring, even copper-clad, in an automotive application. The resistance is too high and crimped connections are subject to creep, although I might actually solder the cable to the connector if I had to use that wire. A solid copper wire would be so much better despite its cost. I think this is a foolish way to save money.
Yeah I didn't mean _solid_ copper. Stranded copper.
BMW used aluminum wiring to save weight from the battery in the trunk to the front, they got recalled to be replaced with copper.
@@SavageBunny1 no bmw uses aluminum wire for cost its completly inferior in any way a piece of wire could be
Stupidest thing ever.. aluminum wire coated in copper..uumm electrolysis will be a downfall. Aluminum is the weaker metal and will deteriorate faster. As said aluminum can NOT handle the same load amps as copper wire does. Stop taking short cuts and do the job right
@@FlyEaglesFly19111 WHY did contractors use aluminum wiring in trailers? Cheaper than copper, but not better! Don't do it! Welding cable is far superior. Voltage drop? YEAH.
@@SavageBunny1 since which body BMW uses CCA wires?. i'm kinda curious. or it's a complete aluminum without copper plating?
Yeah , Kevin Tetz is doing Eastwood demos now!
The ‘bulges’ feature you speak of on the bed sides are referred to as a “barrel roll” so says a 30yr UAW bodyshop vet Keep up the cool videos guys!
30yr UAM moron.

Nice build, I just wish they would have taking the extra time to blast and paint that frame instead of leaving it rusty like that.
They are/did after they get everything mocked up.
As he said in the video....
I'd say this is the signature project from when Ryan and Kevin were the hosts. One evil Ranger
Cool video , but carbon fiber mirrors seem a bit unnecessary when your adding more wait just to mount them , this truck isnt a boy ricer so why?
Anyone know if they ever got around to stripping and painting that frame? It drives me batshit...
I know this is a stupid question but why run a ground cable from the back to where the battery is to start the car? The frame is steel all the way so it should act as a cable right? Just wondered as I ran the braided cable to the frame and then the starter is on the engine so a ground from engine to frame again. I never see any draw down..
They are doing autocross and I assume it's a strange rule in the book.
This thing shoud be really fast in the quarter mile
I really like that they are not using fiberglass
they should have smoothed out the inside of those air ducts to ram air in. they left it bounce around
عاشت ايدك
this would really be the perfect truck if they kept the air con...
At the beginning the back tires are on backwards
Sorry guys, the easy puller is not a new thing. The C-130 leading edge is held on with what looks like a piano hing and in order to pull the wire used to hold the leading edge on a puller very much like the easy puller was used. Granted is was a local manufacture but much, much earlier than this product.
Back in the day before trucks!/truck tech was presented by country bro and his wandering accent syndrome
shouldnt the battery disconnect be on the ground? battery is still gonna be live and there will still be current to disconnect and anywhere in between. have to unground battery to shut off battery.
That just means more cable for the disconnect having it in the same location. You'll still have the same idk "dangers" even if you did it on ground. Usually when you disconnect a battery when working on it you take power out first.
Hello Why do all the work without painting the frame black looks better and prevents rust
This is mock up. Once they are all done with modifications and know where everything will go, they tear it all apart again and paint/powder coat the frame. It’s done this way so that it’s easier to use put back together and they don’t mess up the paint/powder coat on the frame. All modifications to the frame are already done. All the holes are drilled etc.
I wanna see them replace that alternator lol
I wish I could add a few inches just like that.
ummm, is it just me or are the rear tires on the wrong direction?
yup, wrong sides
Just you
They were at the start of the video, but got switched at some point. They also put the supercharger on and didnt show it.
Damn I wanna do a 5.0 or 4.6 swap on my ranger but don’t know how to weld and no one makes custom motors and transmission mounts
There is plenty of 5.0 sbf parts for rangers
Turd Butt excuses. If you don’t know how to weld then go learn, it’s not hard
You better get your hand out from in front of that grinder when your using a cutting wheel.
Bye bye fingers. Stay safe
dude you need to put some rustoleum on that frame at the very least before putting any of that brand new gear on there. doing it later will leave the frame incomplete and you risk damaging that brand new gear when you go to clean and prep for paint. the whole build might as well be garbage if your foundation is no good
They're planning on stripping the frame down again and sending it to get powder coated, they mentioned it in previous episodes
Didnt they already build this years ago?
2011 at least...
Not going to paint the frame?
Did you listen to the video?
They build dis truck 6 years ago
PowerNation and ARP are teaming up for the POWERNATION Give Back Sweepstakes and the prize is 100% bullshit.
Nice tires ! Wheels not so much . :/
But rear brakes are barely used on a vehicle.. ?
Remember they moved the front axle quite a bit, so the rear brakes have much more work to do. Also, they plan to have it race!
Lol, those mirrors look ridiculous.
I just wanna know where this truck is today!
Burnt up probably due to CCA wire.
The projects from these shows end up either being stripped for parts for anther project, remade into anther build, sold to a staff member, sold at auction for charity or more often then not, stripped of useable parts and crushed after making a run through the car show and aftermarket show circuits.
holy 2011......
Boost a 300 ford straight 6 it will make more torque than any v8 and do it on stock internals better then build it up and boost it using a block that will fit the Windsor 5.8 351 parts as some will then add Chevy straight 6 1.7 rockers for more lift etc... I want to see a boosted ford 300
I'm paying monthly for power nation now I would like to see just this one engine
Me and my Dad and my working on 2001 Jeep Wrangler
Я не понял почему рама равная?!
custom mirrors? yeeah i dont think so those are of the shelf mass produced f1 style mirrors
They look like shit. The original mirrors look better
Bruh you may have those "nice wheels" on the wrong way
wet disc brakes
New Supra with all the fake vents
Is this truck 2wd?
3:40 CCA (copper clad aluminum) is garbage. It can't handle anywhere near the amperage of OFC (oxygen free copper) without stepping up in the size of wire by several steps. So if you need 20 feet of 2 gauge OFC, then you'll need 20 feet of 0 gauge for CCA just to get the same rating. And CCA does not dissipate the heat anywhere near as good as OFC. CCA will also get a lot more corrosion over time and not last anywhere near as long as OFC. Literally the only benefits to CCA is it's cheap, light weight, and easy to bend, but the benefits do not weigh out the negatives. There's a reason CCA is super cheap, you don't want it on your nice builds, leave that stuff for the cheap amp kits you always see on beater cars
Watch this all the time enjoy it.... Do NOT USE copper clad wire... It is junk and a cheap CRAPPY alternative cannot hold the amperage and degrades faster than an autozone rubber hose soaking in E85. Its not lighter? Wtf it cant carry the same amperage. Its aluminum not copper. Try and solder that lol 4:04 in i had to pause and comment ask someone who knows about batteries and wire copper plated hahaha

Fellas..STOP using cheap products. Battery wire, fuel lines..what next flex lines for break hoses too.. no thanks..use tried an true products
1st
Still a douchebag for it too
Bad acting and BUTCHER work !! Can't believe this is being shown !!
