This week begun (at 12am mon morning) with our latest project. Project stRanger.

Purpose: A low cost buildup of a cheap, readily available vehicle (something that can be done at home). There will be some advanced fab stuff in this project since that's what we do but there will also be some cool stuff that can be done at home. It will be a capable crawler probably around 100" or so WB.

Ford Ranger w/ fuel injected 2.8L v6 w/ 5-spd tranny. Borg warner xfercase.

Plans: well you'll just have to see...

The buildup begins with the RTI crew laying the smack down on a ford.

Haha, kids don't try this @ home, this was done by HIGHLY TRAINED PRO's It takes skill to bust out a windshield with a coil spring.
