ROUSH Ranger Build

LMK if that link works cuz ive never tried this before.

Those lights are even better than I originally thought.. also confirmed my choice in exhaust.. I won’t have a downpipe though (??) because I’m in California..
sounds close to the AWE and a lot different than the Borla..

Pretty doesn't = good.
We did have 2 terrific years together.
The problem was,,, we were together for 6 years. The only upside to dating a stripper is having all her friends come around after the breakup to see if i'm "okay" ?

That’s because they knew she blew it and they couldn’t let that sugar go to waste ?

They are all crazy to some degree with their "girl shit". Multiply that by 10 with a stripper. They "need" to be embroiled in drama as much as possible. I dealt with it as long as I could (because she was hot AF) but I finally hit the point where the juice was no longer worth the squeeze. Or as my buddy put it... The screw I was getting was no longer worth the screw that I was getting.

I read this somewhere and it really changes your perspective on hot chicks...

"No matter how beautiful she is,,, right now,,, there's a guy out there that is completely fed up with her bullshit"

My dad used to say that all of the time!

It gets a lot of positive feedback. And there's this total Karen at work that HATES it ! So I park near her and wait for her to get close before I cold start. ?

Basically,,, yup

I like the light set up, looks subtle.

They're all crazy my friend, I'm on my third marriage. Just pick your poison you can deal with the easiest, or avoid it all together.

I'm buying a house, and I really don't want one but the wife does, and I gotta think about what she wants too.

Otherwise, I'd have the Ranger Raptor and I'd be modding it!

You could have both.. once you dial in the house.. it’s your turn..
I guess my wife is a bit of a different breed..
She doesn’t want a ranger… however she wants a bronco… thankfully not a bronco raptor.. but a Sasquatch which I’m all for… she also knows I want a Ranger Raptor but I’m sentimentally attached to my tremor…. So she said “after we get my truck we can after we re calibrate our finances we will get your weekend truck.”

Thank god, those Bronco Raptors are about 100k I think!

Overall, I think the Ranger Raptor is a pretty good deal.

My brother says, "if they didn't have what they have (the voodoo), it would be legal to hunt them"

Can't wait to start cutting these up when they arrive...

I'm thinking of a way to attach two 300 pound magnets on each end of my light bar. And lower its overall height by @ ⅜". The magnets are ½" tall. If the bracket in my head comes together the way I envision,,, it's gonna be cool. With a lot of adjustability. AND,,, negate the elevated height from the magnets. It would be nice to have a sheet metal brake, a band saw, a cutoff saw, a drill press, a lathe, a plasma cutter, a horizonal mill, and a MIG welder

I need a machine shop. Or a buddy that has a machine shop. Or someone that wants to finance a machine shop so I can start fabricating "no drill mounting brackets" for Rangers that we can sell.

I'm too impatient to wait for retirement. I want to start fabricating some cool shit asap.

If it helps a mill can act as a drill press. Just gotta speed and feed calculate. I once used my dad’s 5 axis as a drill press…. Ooooooo
I then spent the next 3 years not being able to do anything but have him teach me how to use it properly ?

My dad bought an Arc welder when I was 8 years old. He may have been the worst welder that ever lived. So I read a book on welding and started doing it on my own with a bucket of scrap metal. Within a few weeks I was welding all the farm equipment he broke. So I did a LOT of welding as a kid.

I was a welder for some years before my eyes started going ..(DM) I can’t blame welding completely. ?.
My pops did pick up a trail blazer and a bunch of scrap metal for practice once I told him I was apprenticed..
He went through the effort to learn aswell incase I started to fall short. He wanted to be able to help step up my game if he could…… he was a tool and die machinist/ prototype engineer… somehow he thinks I’m better than him… guess being a knucklehead runs in the family ?

I feel your pain bro, my dad passed in 21' and my mom just last year. He had dementia towards the end

I had a heart attack & bypass surgery on 12/11/23. Started back to work on 2/5/24 and my mother called while I was 1/2 way there to tell me my dad passed away. He had dementia/alzheimers at the end. It was unpleasant.

You’re a beast…(that’s a good thing).
