Blue Edge BTF build
 
I'm starting this early hoping to stay on top of it but this is my 2005 Ford Ranger Edge build. I am overseas currently and I have a new daily driver so I can finally follow through with this build with no worries. Plans are the BTF basic LT kit, McQueen Prototype fiberglass and Goodyear MTR 35s.

I went ahead and pulled the trigger on 5 15 inch Method double standards with some BFG AT 32s to hold me over till I get everything ready for 35s. Also installed a black carriage works billet grille and the headlight mod with some plasti dipped emblems.

I bought a cobra 19 with a fire stick whip, a explorer center console and a custom made Galaxy tab 4 installed into my radio bezel. Just gotta get the finishing touches to put it all in.

That will go great with your superlift spindles. Are you going 2.5 x 8 or 2.5 x 10 coilovers?

8in didn't want to stack with the superlift.

What's your front plan? Doing the full race kit?

Sounds like a good project. How long of a drive to Cali?

I'm planning on 2.5x10s but I still need to do alot of research on it. I'm just getting the basic lt kit not the race kit. Only because it would be to wide for the Mcqueen fiberglass.

Thank you, its a 20 hour drive but I've been wanting to go on a road trip for a while now. Just bought a new jeep unlimited so it will be a good way to break it in.
