I love your builds man... It'll be interesting to see an extended cab on a B2 frame... or has it been done before and I'm just missing out?

just waiting on some more parts


The 9 housing is cleaned and all welds cleaned off the tubes from the shock mounts and spring perches. Just need to pick up some primer to shoot on it.

Todd has a regular cab Ranger on a B2 frame, one of our buddies at college had a ext. cab Ranger on a FSB frame.





I can't wait to see this rig when it's done. So I'll check back in what, 2 weeks? :icon_rofl:

I know about regular cabs on b2 frames... and extended cabs on fsb frames, but I've never seen an extended cab on a b2 frame :icon_confused: so I'm looking forward to how it comes out :icon_thumby:

*edit, the more I think about it, extended cab isn't that much longer than standard... I've been tired lately lol

by chance does anybody know what their wheelbase is or if the rear axle has been stretched at all on either of those two builds?

Both have stock B2 wheel base. No way around it your going to have to put the mini tub in to clear the rear tires. The Silver/green/oxide/rust one was on 35's and the blue one will have 33's or 34's not sure.

I would move the axle back till it cleared the cab nicely, run some coil overs and remove any leftover rearward frame portion.
