Hey Everyone, Thanks for all the support. Since there seems to be quite a bit of interest in the truck, I have decided to continue to make and post videos about it, as well as the other vehicles that I own. I plan to post one or two videos a month to start out. Subscribe and leave a comment below on what else you would like to see.
ThatV8Ranger we had 98 single cab flare side bed with 99 explorer 5.0 that was stroked to 342. It had 3.73s and we swapped it to 3.27s and it was actually quicker in the quarter because it was easier to hook up
I just signed over my 2003 Ford Ranger Edge Step Side 3.0 V6 5spd Man Trans 2 Wheel Drive, To my son he's done a lot of work on it, so he needed a ride. He wanted me to watch your video, nice motor sounds great DOUBLE DAMN.
That’s fair, I myself wouldn’t go wrong with a 2500 or 3500(250, 350). But I do like my 03 ranger xlt. Especially when I got a similar conversion planned for it.
@@themomofmemes467 my opinion still remains the same black headlights make the headlights completely useless I think some nice clear lenses or a black assembly of leds would function much better
I dont care for the rangers, unless they’re the “edge” model. Just like the s-10, i dont care for them unless its the “xtreme” i love these body styles!
Haha awesome. Danger Ranger power! I bought mine built a few years back. 1993 swapped with a built 355 Chevy small block and a k-5 blazer chassis. Solid axel swapped front and rear. Sitting on 36 inch tires.
One thing I highly recommend is to swap the mirrors with the 06+ mirrors with the color matching caps. I did that on my 03, wiring is super simple and they just look much better than those older, rounded style mirrors.
JIMBO SLICE it’d be nice but you’d have to run it without ac I believe, the coyote is just too wide even the old 4.6 3v which is more narrow is challenging to fit in the engine bay
That's a beautiful lil truck! In 2003, I put a gt-40p in my 94'! Used a 5-speed manual from a 96' F-150 with the 4.9, lol talk about torque! Even with a 345 gear in the rear end I still had to pull out in 2nd! Lol Most fun I've ever had in a vehicle! Got injured in 2012 n ended up having to sell it to pay bills! Been disabled ever since n homeless til about 9 months ago. I know I'll never be able to build the 2000 I was able to acquire with the problems I have now, but maybe get lucky enough to buy one somehow. Lmao couldn't ride it like I did my last one though! Couldn't afford 2 tires every six weeks! Lol
Beautiful truck. I want to swap my 05 Edge eventually. It's very similar to yours (blacked out, pioneer sound package, ext cab) just a styleside instead. Been following on Instagram for a bit as well.
@@frenchfrysz6695 I was just talking about this the other day lol that 3.0L v6 was junk , no matter what you did to it you couldn't get good air flow and mpg. I have a Sierra now and I pay the same for fuel...
@@derrickfarrar5736 yea dude i was getting like 15 mpg in the thing! I couldnt get up and over a large hill without flooring the hell out of the poor thing lol I got a Silverado (4.8L) after that and I actually get better MPG by a little now haha
@@frenchfrysz6695 You guys got 15mpg in a 3.0 V6, I daily a 2005 Ram 2500 with the 5.7L and get on avg about 16mpg with all 8 cylinders going full time.

@@lildad559 I'd like to see where you heard that. Considering what the Democrats did to get the money and help the people compared to what mitch presented. Please research.
You really have a good looking truck. I'd like how everything looks factory even the notch in the frame. I seen guys who have done that and when they were done welding it up I was wondering if they had even opened their eyes to watch what they were doing. My one friend paid some jackass to do his frame and after 6 months he finally gave it back to him and it was horrible. 2 weeks of driving it he called me up and asked if he could have his truck towed to my house I asked him why he told me that the plates that the guy welded in broke loose. I basically had to tear the back end of the truck completely apart and threw everything away and put better parts and a lot better welding and cutting. I do have to say on your truck I like that black outlook. After seeing that I might do that with my F-150 over the winter. I'm pulling my truck apart over the winter and hopefully by spring have it back out. Like I said after seeing how good your truck look with all that black is now making me think that's the way I want to go. I enjoyed your video I definitely hit the like and subscribe button That's the least I can do when someone shares their information.
I have a red 2003 Ranger with the 4 liter V6 , it has more than enough power as is . But i really like the stance on your truck , might have to do that myself .
Hi bro.!!!exellent!!!i have 98 Ford ranger ... i Am 3rd owner... truck has been Baby'd for by every owner... when time comes i will drop a 5.0 in my little bear. Its lightning blue and my lifeline to Work and Family.. your truck is stunning... long live Ford and the People That Drive them...🇺🇸⚡👀
Love the build...!!! For the theme of this truck, I have one thing that I would do differently. Dismiss the rear bumper and and replace it with a roll pan.
That b*tch is BAD. Love what you did with the stance and rollers. Wheels that were on before were quite frumpy. Love the RPF1 look of what you got. I’ll always have a special place in my heart for a Ranger. She is sick!!!
Wow! beautiful Ranger I have a Ranger Splash 1995 i just wish to make a swap of the 2004 front only (Hood,fender,grill etc...) to my Ranger 1995 but don't know if fits.
It's very possible. You will have to swap the hood, hood hinges, fenders, core support, grille and headlights. You may also have to do some wiring for the new headlights as I do not believe they use the same connectors. For front bumper you will need to do some adapter brackets or weld in newer frame horns.
@@ThatV8RangerI post this in a forums a month ago on "Ranger forums" one guy told me about bolts positions and about models 1993-1997 that are different generation than 1998-2011 .
thegoof529 Well that’s disheartening. I’ve been wanting to do that swap for a long time. So I’m assuming a manual swap would be more difficult as well? I know I’ll have to splice some sensors into the wiring harness and swap the computer and gauge cluster, but I’m sure there’s more to it. I read a forum on a guy doing a 3.0 manual swap in an 04 it seemed easy enough
@@colyngautreaux1078 Its all in your expertise, and the time and money your willing to spend. With a manual teans you will be cutting a hole underneath your cab to put the shifter in, your also going to need a custom plate to connect the trans bell housing to the fly wheel of your engine, which you will also need to get. An auto has what we call a flex plate, it's like a flywheel for auto transmissions. Whether you want the std V6 or a V8, I'd recommend a V8 with my experience but hey, you do you.
I wish my truck was built like yours, my truck is also an 04 ranger flareside but i have the stock engine and it’s ok. In fact the truck i have is my first car. My truck is equipped with the 4.0 v6 auto 4x4 supercab red. One day i wish i could swap the 4.0 v6 with a 4.6 v8 from the vic.
I know rangers get a lot of hate, but I think they are a good truck. Do wish they had more power from the factory. But people don’t realize that these are pretty quick considering the regular cab only weighs 3100 pounds. And you can still stick more than half a ton in the bed of it.
I have a 99 Mazda b4000 that I did a 5.0 swap in with an explorer rearend for the disc brakes and 3.73 L/S. But I was wondering what tune do you have for the cam and also are you running a stock stall with that cam? Thank and it's a beautiful truck!!!
@@ThatV8Ranger yeah if mine was on the road right now. Fuel pump quit on me a week ago and im upgrading to a walbro 255 and a return style fuel system. And I might get it tuned soon here.

That would be me!
It won’t let me post a link, but if you go on EBay and search Explorer dual core all aluminum by Focus Cooling.

I've never seen a four-door ranger, other than the foreign ones. That's epic
Nice to finally see one that isn't a single cab (usually people lift the crew cab ones rather than lower)
I want one of these with the new coyote 5.0.

Nice truck.. had a 89 ranger with a 5.0..was a lot of fun..
One sick truck dude really nice stance and v8 is icing on the cake!!!
Nice ranger,like everything on the ranger.keep it going.
Looks badass like a little mini f150 lightning
Nice ride, well done. I'm gonna do a walk around on mine soon.
Love how that thing sits

How can you hate on this... Nice work
Now I want to swap my 3.0 V6 for the 5.0 V8
i used to have one of those 3.0 in my 4x4 ranger years ago, didnt care for the mpg or the power lol. a v8 would have made the truck awesome tho.

The chop on the unit is minty!
She is a beauty!!! Nice job brother.
Clean 🔥👌🏾. I know nothing about trucks but trust me this one is a banger
I always thought a 84 or 86 Ranger would have been a bad ass 5.0 swap. They are so small

I had a 01 ranger xlt with the 3.0 and it was slow...think it was like 146hphaha. Good little truck.
Same!!!
I have the 98 with the 4.0 and its not exactly quick but it is a good truck
Hopefully I do this to my 02 ranger 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I have NEVER seen a stock carbon fiber esque bezel?! looks awesome!
sweet build man! wish my old ranger i had years ago could have been like this.
That’s a sweet ford Ranger
Pretty nice man. Thanks for sharing
What is the ecu did you use!? Because i want to do this on my Mazda b3000
It’s the stock Explorer ECU
That's a nice truck!
Sound like one healthy V8

If y'all have any spare time to count how many times he says "truck" just holla'. 😂
Finally a ranger that won’t hold down like 40 cars of traffic
Someone should do a clean Ford Fusion swap coyote
Look up MattSoppa on Instagram.
ThatV8Ranger I’ve seen it but he made it for drifting but I mean like a clean sleeper car
Both of your rangers look good 😎👍🇺🇸
Im Digging the stance 🤙
Dude that thing is dope!
I would definitely suggest looking into a 3.73 rear end for dig and roll racing 😎
