Great to see you guys building offroad vehicles now. Just a few quick tips. 1st when you're off road, things that you think shouldn't move, move. When you are making clearance for moving parts, give it a little extra. Especially tires! Being offroad, not only will the tires expand at speed, but they will also take new unforeseen forms while going over terrain. 2nd, get rid of those stock tie rods and go with heims. Between the extra weight of the larger tires and just not being designed for heavy offroad use, they will break, and often. I look forward to seeing where this build goes.

Not wrong. I think it’s because people in the used market like to value their things for what they expect to get or expect it’s worth. It’s the buyers responsibility to avoid a trap. Some of those for $2500-4000 shouldn’t be any more than $1000. Especially when they expect you to tow that thing and do a fair amount of repair just to get it road worthy. Their problem is now yours haha I’ve seen some drivable ones for $2500-3500 though. If you’re going LOW LOW, I’d personally lowball the heck out of some until I get something I want, but I’m also not above being ruthless in the used market if there’s a deal to be had. There’s always another person selling another item. Shoot the shot, move on if you don’t get what you want.

I love watching step by step, keep it up Donut Media, love watching you guys!

$2,000 in tax and shipping?? Damn.

The amount of content in this one video is crazy. Love watching a build come together

This is going to be an AMAZING series. Glad Yall decided to venture into this alley. I see lots of builds to come lol

The level of detail and precision in this build is truly impressive, real shoutout to the team for taking on such a challenging project!

Better than any “short”. Keep it up, one hell of a build. My dad drove one of these when I was younger.

I bought a 2008 Mazda B4000 in October and when you guy's announced the ranger as the next project I got so hyped

so much can not wait for actual test drive - this suspension custom is oozing sexy craftwork + attitude 🤘

Me watching this video when I can't even afford the amount of oil sitting on the shelf at 16:45

Did this in high-school metal shop. My teacher was a rad Baja racer back in the day and never taught us anything out of the book. All hands on build and test. Gocarts, small rails ,4runners, and of course all the 90s kids had a ranger with fenders and a lift. The good old days

Being a truck guy and a car guy this warms my soul to see a balance of truck and car content

After barely a year of watching you guys, I went from only knowing very basic maintenance to removing a blown engine and installing a new engine on my own

Great video guys. Definitely looks like a fun build. Just so you know you might want to rethink those rear shock upper mounts and also the shock placement. Have the resi inboard like that is not going to be good. Usually you want the resi in the rear behind the body. Having them inboard like that when you side load the axle in a corner it will shift the axle side to side and you will smash those reservoirs into the frame rails. Plus having that upper pivot bolt going forward to back means as the shocks are working they are moving forward and back so it will wear that upper uniball super fast vs if it was just moving with the race.

I love how they say how ridiculous it sounds in the beginning, just to do it anyway cuz it’s awesome!! Love all of y’all at Donut 🍩 ❤

Dylan, gone but never forgotten lol

Not sure if you guys have done this already; But here's a vid idea... Make two or three teams, give each team a budget to build a car, and race across the country. Whoever gets to the finishing line first, wins. A team is allowed to fix their car and continue with the race if the car ever breaks down or stop for refueling. However, points to be deducted with each breakdown.

Also, I would love to know what that little magnetic tool measures when buddy mentioned the camber degree measurement and also where to get it? Especially curious if you can dial alignment with that thing, seems nifty!

9:31 made me crack up. "Omg that thing looks long. And well it is. The wheel is in a differnet zip code from the truck."

This probably one of the most impressive things I've ever seen donut do
