- Hey everyone!! In this video I show you everything I've done to the $200 ranger since I've owned it. Its been a really fun build so far and its not done yet! All the clips have a video on my channel if your curious checkout the $200 Ranger Build playlist. This is a cool video to show the progression of 3 months with the rig and I know its not a SEMA build but its perfect for the trails

That's what she said!

Love the video man glad to see some other people in the area building budget off road rigs.
Thanks man!
Great vid, missed this one. 👍👍
Lake Havasu 🌞 Az
Thanks!
Get yourself a good winch for that bad boy!
So sick 🔥🔥🔥
Nice fab on the box. A couple pockets in the center section for spare tires, and a pull out drawer out the back of the bed "tunnel" would be really cool.
Thanks! Ya I’ve been told a few times to add a drawer there I might just have to lol
The old rangers make a perfect budget build
Ya for sure
Love how you built this. I’m just a stupid kid looking forward to buying his first truck and always getting put down by seeing cheap rusty trucks, (Minnesota), but seeing you find a truck for that kind of money in an area like mine gives me some hope, because it looks like 1 speed bump won’t split it in half.
Thanks bud! I got really lucky with the price it was from my friend but there is always good deals out there
Nice work !! Iv got a 04 ranger that I'm fixing to do a budget 4x4 similar to this. Thank you for showing me a few things to prepare for .
Thanks bud! There awesome rigs man
Awesome work you did to your truck! Bed looks great!
Thanks bud!
Good stuff!!💪🏻👍🏻💥💥
Inspiring ! 👍
Badass 💪💪
I have a 1988 and I hope to do that bro, fire my dude
Thanks bro
This is so sick seriously considering doing the same to my ranger!
Thank you!!!
Dude this is my jockey coach never new he had this channell I subed first time I saw the Ford at the hockey rink
Great job. If you are not going to regear, I found that a tuner helps a lot with shift points. My truck came with 4.10 : 1 gears. I put a 3" body lift, 1.5 " hub centric wheel spacers and 33" Mickey Thompson MTZ tires and it felt like my truck was struggling when off roading, not a lot, just more than it should. I was about to regear but decided to give a tuner a shot. It no longer feels like I am over working it. I like your wheel well cut job, it just looks right...
Thanks! Ya if it was a nicer vehicle I would do more of that stuff but it’s a weekend warrior haha thanks for the input tho
My 02 came with a super chips tuner. It came in handy when I switch gearing
you're gaining subs pretty decently!
Thanks Ya I’m trying to keep up the pace haha
Great job!!!
Thanks
Pretty damn sick dude!
Thanks bud
Run to the hills....run for your life!
Won't you run
live to fly
fly to live
Aces high!!!
Awesome bang for buck with this build. Not trying to critique anything but I can’t help but visualize a drawer that comes out of the space between the frame and custom bed.
Thanks! No worries tons of people have told me to make a drawer haha if I needed more storage I would for sure
Sweet❤
I did something similar to your build just a different style bed but every told me it’s defeating the purpose of a truck but I still did it but nice build bro I’m glad you love it
Thanks man and ya I love the bed
Keeping the lift stock is always best unless you are doing extreme rock climbing. I bet it drives awesome. Doing this to my free explorer
Ya man it’s doing good!
Beautiful!
Going to be doing an overland build of a 1999 Ranger 4.0 4x4 5-speed, but first have to replace the head(s) etc 🙄
Are you on torsion? Did you crank them at all?
Nice! Ya I cranked them to level it out
Bro this is so sick! I think you should fab up the whole front end too. To make it look like a Armored out Ranger. With a windshield guard and a winch and light bars as well.
thanks bud i loved that ranger but i sold it a while ago :(
dude you did a amazing
Thanks!
Nice truck build homie!
Thank you!
that bed is insane
Ya she’s not bad! I mean it’s still on the truck so that’s good 😂🍻
Nice video! Keep going! :)
Thanks man
35s with stock gearing is perfectly fine especially with automatic you probably have 3:73 or 4:10s
It's do-able, I've been doing it for 3 years now, but I would never say it's a good idea lol. Soooo sluggish and the trans will hate you so much. 4.88's will make it a beast on and off road, and leave you open to 37's if you wanted.
Awesome built! Get rid of the front axle and replace it with Explorer or 2001 Ranger front axles. You won't need vacuum to the hubs and it is so much stronger.
Thanks
That’s a good idea!
Goog job
Thanks!
Need a truck n my boy got a 05 ranger edge. About to 4x4 convert he needs a canper or leer cover
My 2003 edge had the same parking issue, that's why I got mine for $200 as well
Super easy fix haha
Maiden! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
How did you tighten the shifter? Mine has the exact same problem, barely gets into park and wont start sometimes
Underneath the dash there was a screw loose check my earlier videos of the ranger build I showed how I did it
Praying and trying to finish something like this with my little beater. It's gonna be purpose built to pull anything out of anywhere. I live in the mountain mecca of the east coast and it's gonna be a booming business with Jesus' help
Ya man rescue rig!
I had a 98 with the infamous 4x4 non-locking hubs. so how do you get out of 4x4?
I believe it’s not in 4x4 but the hubs are locked so it can go in an out whenever
Sick. Reallyreaaally sickkk!!!.. u know ne1 with a ranger leer cover or camper...also any1 with a ranger?? I got like 2200 for a small pixkup
Thanks!
Saw the maiden shirt was like oh at least the music won't suck.....
Run to the hills
Hey man going thru the same problem with my 04 ranger with the 4x4 im replacing the transfer case motor tomarrow there is also a box behind the radio that went out on mine hope that gets your working. Another $400 part tho 😣
Ya man it can be annoying hopefully you get it all sorted out!
👍
hey how did you tighten the shifter? my 2010 ranger has a loose shifter as well i need to tighten
Hey there’s 2 nuts that are loose underneath the steering wheel you could also search it on CZcams it’s kinda hard to explain!
I had the same issue but the bolts were tight. The problem was the bushings. Ordered them on Amazon for $5 and she was good to go.
Was there a specific reason for the 4inch gap between the frame and your flatbed?
Not really just tire clearance but I could’ve added storage in the open area
What was wrong with ur 4wd? Just a bad transfer case motor? Did you have the hi and lo lights flashing on dash? Thanks
I started by changing the t case motor then that didn’t fix it so I made free manual locking hubs

If I could get a second ranger I'd like to turn it into a off road truck, don't want to do it to my ranger that's going to be my daily. (2011 sport 4x4 4.0L v6)
I do plan on getting a lift and one step up bigger wheels and aftermarket head/break lights etc. But I want a overlander eventually as well
Sounds like a good plan
Hey bro, I have a 2003 Ford Ranger FX4 edition truck, Is this truly a good off road truck or would a old Jeep Like the Willy's be a better performer off road. Thanks
I liked my ranger it did really good off-road for a budget truck
very cool . I been shopping around for one . like what did so no lockers ?
Thanks and no lockers yet
@@Carfleet cool
Do you have a more detailed video on how you cut the front fenders?
Ya there’s a video on my channel called
Snorkel build and fender chop czcams.com/video/ZnPn_FL9pAg/video.html
I wish I had the talent to do that. I would love to create my own off roader
That’s man! I’m just an average auto guy you could definitely make a rig like this
3.0 liter 35" tire's how's it do on hills? I have a FX4 level ll 4.0 factory manual transmission and transfercase 4.11 torsion lock differential 31 spline 8.8 axle. 3" body lift sitting on OEM Alcoa wheels and 33X10.50X15 Super Swamper TSL's and it runs out of power on the sand hill's.
It did pretty well! I have off road videos on my channel you should check out to see it in action
Amazing man! BUT PLEASE!!!!!! CHANGE DE SNORKEL AHAHAHA
Thanks hahaha she’s diy
Wait wait what did you do with those hubs?! Is this ranger the one with the electronic diff control?
The ranger has vacuum lines to engage 4x4 but odd are there not working I made a video on my channel about it search on my channel: 4x4 fix for free
@@Carfleetah okay. thank you im going to go watch that.
Do all xlt Ford rangers have 4x4
I’m not sure
Here from Facebook
Thanks!
how do u tighten up the shifter
Loose bolts under the steering wheel
I’m looking to get a Ford ranger just for like a little truck for hunting because I’m an outside person to, how would you rate it?
It’s perfect for that! It’s small, reliable and capable
@@Carfleet Alr man thanks! I got about 3k saved up just gotto get a 4x4 one and I’ll be good to go.
@@samuelrusch9766 no problem
I am hoping to buy a Ranger on Wednesday. I want to build a welding rig out of it so I can use it to first weld the holes in the frame and then mount the crane in the bed and then start the SAS axle swap. I am in the Poconos in Pennsylvania. Where are you?
That’s sweet! I’m in B.C Canada 🇨🇦
@@Carfleet Very Cool. I will let you know how it goes. Thanks
Ya let me know!
Just bought a Ford ranger and it has the same issue with it not going in park all the way what’s the reason it did that and how do you fix it
There’s two screws that might be loose under the dash by the pedals that’s what fixed mine someone made a video about it on CZcams
@@Carfleet thank you
@@edgarmontoya2039 np man!
I have a 97’ ranger with no bed and it’s on 39s and has an 11 inch lift. I absolutely freaking love what you did to this thing, and I would love it if somehow I could be in communication with you, because I’m a 17 year old and I don’t any parents to help me with this build, just myself. If somehow I could be in touch with you to get help and talk about these builds that would be awesome man
That’s crazy 11 inch lift! Do you have Instagram or Facebook?
@@Carfleet I have an Instagram dedicated to the truck, it’s @rangeronroids ! I would be absolutely stoked if you checked it out
@@Carfleet I bought the thing for $1500 off craigslist, and am basically trying to do everything you did to your truck
I followed you on ig and messaged you! awesome build
How many miles did it have?
350xxx kms
Nice build. Is the bed you took off for sale by any chance?
Thanks! I sold the bed a while back sorry bud
Where’d you find a ranger for $200??
Got super lucky was from one of my buddies
Did you axle swap by chance
No never got to that
@@Carfleet thank you man for the information man
As someone who didn't want to spend money on gears after switching to 35's.... spend the money on gears lol. it's much cheaper than spending money on a new trans, and the better driveability on and off road will be so much better.
I would but this ranger is just a beater for me if I took better care of it I would hhaha
@@Carfleet fair enough lol, would just hate to see you blow a trans after all this work and everything lol. I've been there. It's not fun lol.
@@RathAdventures ya man if this thing blows up I plan on getting an older ranger with a straight axle I got this truck for 200$ so I just send it
You didn't want to sand the rust off the frame and paint it ?
No didn’t want to put to much effort into that 200$ rig haha
@@Carfleet wurd
link to the wheels and tires?
No unfortunately just local sales
How did you tighten the shifter mine is doing that.
From under the dash there’s 2 screws
@@Carfleet just look under the dash pretty easy fix? This would literally be amazing if I could save myself a trip to the mechanic.
@@davidlane07 ya someone has a video on CZcams about it as well
I’ll see if I can link it for you
@@davidlane07 I talk about it hear in the beginning of the video czcams.com/video/mzgXhOPSivY/video.html
@@Carfleet thank you so much
where do i find a $400 ranger
I got a super crazy deal off a friend once in a lifetime haha
We’re bull bar from ???
I made it
@@Carfleet can u make me one xx I love it lots xxxx
How much have u spent on this trip in total
1500 including the truck and wheels
@@Carfleet Jesus man ur lucky I can’t find a good ranger for less than 5k
Ya I got a crazy deal $200 for the truck it just needed spark plugs and 4x4 motor and it had some mould
What year is the truck?
98
@@Carfleet thank you
@@stitches_8887 no problem!
I’d love to have that bed if you plan on getting rid of it!!
It’s welded to my frame😔 or else I would take it off to sell it when I’m done with the ranger
@@Carfleet the one that is the factory bed that you took off that is sitting in your yard. You using that?
@@Unmployable oooo hahaah are you local ?
@@Carfleet I’m not sure. Where abouts are you? I’m northern Alabama
I’m in Canada
crazy how it only took you 7 minutes
Right I’m pretty speedy
Ford fucken ranger !
FORD FUCKIN RANGER
Do you want to sell the box?
Already sold it man
Maiden, Maiden, Maiden!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hahaha
200$ why do i find that hard to believe
Was years ago now and it was from a friend
Money can't buy happiness? PFFT
Constructive criticism: leave the text up for longer, I keep having to pause to read it
Ok! Thanks
@@Carfleet thanks for the vid!
Np man thanks for the feedback
$300 on gears for that nice of a truck is nothing bro
Man hate the music
The music doesn’t like you either I heard
Dude the bed looks like shit .and the pvc ? And the fence post bumper . Great job .
Thanks man! Let’s see your built ranger for under $1500
NOBODY gets a early 2000 Ranger with a mint straight body for $200 ..... no offense but come on man...
It was an insane deal it was from my friend he bought it off my old boss for 300$ then he let it mould outside for a year then I bought it off him for 200$. I wouldn’t lie about it man haha
Everything was good, until he got rid of the bed and created that monstrosity of a back end, lol what was the purpose aside from losing cargo space and totally wasting time and money making it less functional and ugly smh 😮💨
😂
Yo I'm late to the party but could you do a vid on how to make your own hubs?
I made a video on free locking hubs
