Wow nice work.

Can't wait to see this thing when its done!

Thanks for all the support guys

Not much progress recently. Been busy at work and it's been to hot to weld up the rest of the cab. Instead Ive been sourcing parts and figuring out little odds and ends. I'm trying to keep the first page for the bigger progress points...

The rear is going to be on air bags, this way i can keep the same ride height regardless of the load. some say bags are cheating but in this case they serve a practical purpose.

I still need to find a drivers hounds tooth sport seat... any leads to one would be great... I'll have a set or rear door cards and rear seat for sale if anyone is interested.

Seat clearance:





I tossed on of my buddies VW wheels next to it just for giggles

What year did you take the ranger rear from? extended cab?

Awesome work. can't wait to see the updates!

By the way... most people don't do a rear tailgate because they don't want to compromise the structural integrity of the car. It increases the level of difficulty by a factor of 10 at least.

He needs to to put his ATV in though.

Not too much for updates as of this weekend. I ended up tossing my billies into the e34 and doing some exhaust work. Hopefully there will be lots of updates tonight/tomorrow with lots of new parts....
