Pump My Prerunner - Explorer Prerunner

[shockmaster14231]

I love that bronco.

[shockmaster14231]

why did you leave it spring under on the rear axle?

[prerunnermaniac]

@shockmaster14231 When we first installed the Deaver Springs it looked like we had hydraulics in the back. We needed them to settle in, and now the ride height is perfect so we just left them as is.

[scottydontknow99]

thats fine by me! and do u have any photos of the ranger behind the guy in the video?

[prerunnermaniac]

@scottydontknow99 No I don't. That Ranger was sold to a guy in Australia, and the first race he entered he wadded it up.

[scottydontknow99]

wanna help set up my 06 ranger 4x4?

[prerunnermaniac]

@scottydontknow99 We can't do it for you but we can show you how can

[swordfish94]

And for the front too I guess.

[swordfish94]

Hey I've decided I want to prerunner my X, but it's probably going to be a couple year process. I like the rear setup but Radflo is expensive, so curious what other shocks you guys would reccomend for the rear?

[prerunnermaniac]

@swordfish94 Yes coil-overs are expensive but definitely need for any prerunner. I don't know if you are going to find cheap coil-overs anywhere. You might consider looking on Craigslist for a set of used shocks if money is a concern. Be sure to send us some pics when you get it going.

[powerstroke7024]

wow his wife is bangin! lucky man

[prerunnermaniac]

@powerstroke7024 Yes I am very lucky!!!

[XxStINNeTt22xX]

ok cool man

[XxStINNeTt22xX]

So basically fulldroop is teaching us how to do the different types of modifications to the truck?

[prerunnermaniac]

@XxStINNeTt22xX You got it. Episode 2 should be coming out real soon.

[XxStINNeTt22xX]

What would it take to get my truck picked by you guys?

[prerunnermaniac]

@XxStINNeTt22xX Actually that is why we started FullDroopTV, because Pump My Prerunner was too expensive to produce...

[XxStINNeTt22xX]

Man I would do anything.. Anything to get my truck on Pump my Prerunner.

[prerunnermaniac]

@XxStINNeTt22xX Anything?...really? Check out our new series FullDroopTV, you'll really like that!!!

[XxStINNeTt22xX]

@prerunnermaniac Thanks. Appreciate it man.

[XxStINNeTt22xX]

What kind of rims are they?

[prerunnermaniac]

@XxStINNeTt22xX Those are Mickey Thompson Classic Locks. We had the beadlock rings powder-coated red

[05front]

Hot soccer mom and in a bad ass truck.

[swordfish94]

yeah i wanted to do all of this to my 96. until i looked into how much it would all cost. now its probably gonna take me few years to get it to the point where i can use it

[prerunnermaniac]

@swordfish94 Yes this was an expensive project, but you can always do it in steps. This is also why with our new video series FullDroopTV we are doing the build step by step and showing you more of each part of the build, so you can possibly do it yourself.

[OGKILLa9365]

SHE IS HOT

[mmmrrrmmmiiikkkeee]

Can you do rear suspension like that on Ford Rangers? Or do I have to do a totally different rear suspension for a prerunner?

[lasvegaswebdesign]

@mmmrrrmmmiiikkkeee You can do it just like this. We did it to our Ranger Prerunner

[prerunnermaniac]

I don't think you need the larger spindles. I don't think they are as strong as the factory ones if you are talking about Fabtech lift spindles.

[isell50zZz]

Yea my ranger is 2wd, so the 2wd lt kit sits higher than the 4wd kit? I was just wondering if i wanted to use a longer spindle or not

[isell50zZz]

Im looking on getting the dixon bros long travel kit for my 2006 ford ranger sport, i was just wondering how much higher will the ride height be?

[prerunnermaniac]

@isell50zZz It really depends this is the 2WD model of the kit and it sits higher than the 4WD model on our Ranger. It will also depend on tire size. Most likely you will use a 285/75/16 tire (about 33") I would say expect about 3-4" taller than stock

[buccaneersboy39]

how much did all that cost?

[prerunnermaniac]

@buccaneersboy39 It was a lot, can't post actual dollar amounts

[ghost9431]

@prerunnermaniac are you going to do more

[prerunnermaniac]

@ghost9431 No we have a new series called FullDroop.TV where we break down the build into steps, instead of an entire build in one video.

[McNeilRacing]

i spy a McNeil Racing Inc crew cab titan bedside at 3:02! btw sick Explorer!

[prerunnermaniac]

@McNeilRacing Good eye!!! Glad you like our Explorer...we have been really happy with it. Let us know if you have any prerunners we can feature in the magazine.

[McNeilRacing]

@prerunnermaniac The only one i can think of would be our Black and Yellow Explorer Sport Trac. That thing is amazing! i have some videos of it on my profile.

[prerunnermaniac]

@McNeilRacing I got a few pics of it last year at the Off Road Expo...do you have any action shots? I'll check out your profile and see what video you have.

[dragndestroy]

if you ever need a truck to PUMP i got a 96 ranger for yah haha like you havent seen one of those before

[prerunnermaniac]

@dragndestroy Yes I wish we could PUMP everyone's trucks but WOW this was an expensive video to produce. Help us out by sharing the video...the more views we get the more attractive this is for our sponsors to support more videos!!!

[peterk5679]

sexy milf for sure . . . kinda cheezy tho

[prerunnermaniac]

@peterk5679 Yes it was meant to be "cheezy", My wife is a MILF?

[peterk5679]

@prerunnermaniac ahh makes sence dude and yes that she his (high five ) congrats . . all ment in a good way dude no disrespect

[prerunnermaniac]

@peterk5679 no worries, that is one of the reasons I married her!!!

[peterk5679]

@prerunnermaniac . . haha smart man !!

[03LSDime]

thats a mom? DAMMMMMMM

[prerunnermaniac]

@03LSDime well not actually a Mom

[03LSDime]

@prerunnermaniac haha i was about to say

[94BajaKid]

when you come to colorado let me know, i have a 97 4wd ranger waiting to get all beefed :)

[7JJPKRACING]

hey where is the vid for the truck at the end of this vid



[7JJPKRACING]

hey what brand is the a arm/suspension kit and shocks and what wheels r u useing and what size tires

[prerunnermaniac]

@7JJPKRACING You should check out our site for all the details of the build.

Dixon Bros Racing kit in front with Radflo shocks. Mickey Thompson Classic II wheels 16x8 with BFG 285/75/16 Mud Terrain tires.

[zamamattiolo]

where u guys located..??

how long did it take to do this truck?

[prerunnermaniac]

@zamamattiolo We are in Las Vegas...the build took a few weeks, mostly waiting for parts to come in.

[zamamattiolo]

@prerunnermaniac cool. i m in L.A how much would be the front and rear suspension kit and rims for ford ranger ?? i already have fenders bumpers and lights.

[zamamattiolo]

@prerunnermaniac BTW i got a 4WD 2003

[pittster174]

This should be a TV show, shit would be a hit in the western states fer shur!

[prerunnermaniac]

@pittster174 We are working on it. Takes a ton of cash to do this.

[2004trickblaster]

Gotta love prerunners! Wanna do my truck now?

[prerunnermaniac]

@2004trickblaster I wish we could do everyone's trucks but my pockets are just not that deep.

[2004trickblaster]

@prerunnermaniac Oh come on, just a lil bit a long travel? :) hahaha

[prerunnermaniac]

@2004trickblaster LOL great come back!!!

[2004trickblaster]

@prerunnermaniac Haha where are you guys located anyways?

[lasvegaswebdesign]

@2004trickblaster Las Vegas

[2004trickblaster]

@lasvegaswebdesign Oh nevermind. I dont think my truck could safely make it there hahaha

[Zeeckthelegend]

@prerunnermaniac How much money just went into the underside of that thing?

[prerunnermaniac]

@Zeeckthelegend I don't remember the exact number but it is a few thousand, Dixon Bros Racing kit in front, Radflo coilovers and bumpstops, Deaver springs and Radflo smooth bodies...it adds up.

[Zeeckthelegend]

@prerunnermaniac I have a 97 with 5L in it. Would I be able to use that kit?

[evinsteven13]

oh look at the puppy at 2:20!!!

[prerunnermaniac]

@evinsteven13 did you mean kitty? That is Killer the watch cat.

[evinsteven13]

@prerunnermaniac um, no, puppy. jk. for some reason, I call cats puppys. actually its because my cat is bigger than most small dogs, he is 22 lbs and is just plain huge so I call him a dog

[cody6429]

Yea i know id have to do alot if fabrucations to een put a-arms and long travel on it

[cody6429]

Wish i had the money haha

Pump my s10 baby!!!

[prerunnermaniac]

@cody6429 Yes it is expensive to build a prerunner especially an S-10 because no one (maybe 1 company) makes kit for these trucks.

[famoushot21]

pump my 88 pathy!

[christofercrews]

how much did all this run you guys? dang.lol

[prerunnermaniac]

@christofercrews We can't give actual numbers was this wasn't cheap to do. We do have to thank all our sponsors for their support. Without them we couldn't have put this together.

[lasvegaswebdesign]

We wish we could do everyone's truck. Unfortunately there isn't much for that model Toyota 4x4. I would look at Total Chaos. They have a few options for your son's truck. Send us pics if you do anything to it, maybe we can get it in the magazine.

[bigpop717]

hay guys my son just got a 1990 toyota and he wants a nice set up. I was woundering if you guys could set him up or what would be the best prerunner kit for it. the truck is 4x4 and a v6. can you help?

[PhuckThatShit]

Awww this is sick, I plan on making my s10 full pre runner status like this thing.. Now I just need the cash..haha

[lasvegaswebdesign]

@PhuckThatShit After you get the money and hook up your truck send us pics for the magazine. We don't get many s10's to feature.

[PhuckThatShit]

@lasvegaswebdesign Yea, things changed, i ended up picking up a 87 Nissan hardbody, and since I cant find a decent lift for it, its gonna get slammed.. Thanks though guys..

[X92Exploder]

Nice video guys, makes a 2wd truck worth driving.

[prerunnermaniac]

@X92Exploder I agree!!!

[jas0n123456789]

Think she forgot to say, built motor with super charger.

[Soccacrzy]

I have a 96 ford explorer xlt that has no guts at all. Want to help a brother out?

[prerunnermaniac]

@Soccacrzy We wish we could Pump everyone's prerunner but it is not cheap.

[Soccacrzy]

haha I have a 96 explorer just waiting to be built up like this. I want to so bad but times are hard=/ anyway very nice. when are you going to do mine?

[linkinlogrunner]

where could i get fenders like that for a 96 dodge ram?

[prerunnermaniac]

@linkinlogrunner search Google for Glassworks Unlimited. They carry a full line of Dodge Fiberglass panels.

[QuattroStig]

@prerunnermaniac

Nice Explorer.Can I suggest getting my bronco in the magazine! It's a budget build prerunner. Its on my channel

[prerunnermaniac]

@QuattroStig I took a look at your Bronco and didn't see extended beams on it. The trucks we feature have to have long travel kits on them. I do like your Bronco it just doesn't fit in with our core audience. Throw some extended beams on it and some Deaver springs in back and hit us up for a shoot.

[QuattroStig]

@prerunnermaniac

Great advice. We will be in touch! I plan on putting a solo engine cage to convert the front to coilover. Then the 44 Wide Twin Traction Beams will go on.

[snowbud22]

What kit did you guys use?

[prerunnermaniac]

@snowbud22 We used the Dixon Bros Racing 2WD kit for Rangers and Explorers. This is by far one of the best kits for the money.

[sasquatchismydaddy]

build my ranger up? :D

[prerunnermaniac]

@sasquatchismydaddy I wish we could build everyone's Rangers but this type of video costs a ton of money. It was made to show you the viewer how to build one yourself.

[urban089]

my truck is a perfect candidate! unmolested 96 ranger xlt! lol

haha great video and amazing work!

[tplax4l69]

could have done with out the graffic wrap.... other than that, nicely done.

[prerunnermaniac]

@tplax4l69 sorry you didn't like the wrap. We needed it for our sponsors and the rest of the paint didn't look that great compared to the rest of the X...and it sure get a lot of attention

[onebrokewhiteboy]

Would you guys pump a truck that already has work done to it? I have a kit on the front and Deavers on the rear But want the Camburg kit up front with the Camburg custom spindle, I need bumpers and a cage, Already have glass works on front and rear. Would you ever take someones truck that has been started and do more to it?

[AlexCameronMulcahy]

Haha thats awesome, my explorer next?

[prerunnermaniac]

@AlexCameronMulcahy I wish we could do everyone's request...this was an expensive project, but we hope to do more in the future.

[onebrokewhiteboy]

@prerunnermaniac Would you guys pump a truck that already has work done to it? I have a kit on the front and Deavers on the rear But want the Camburg kit up front with the Camburg custom spindle, I need bumpers and a cage, Already have glassworks on front and rear. Would you ever take someones truck that has been started and do more to it?

[Aquabat78]

you guys do awesome work

[prerunnermaniac]

@Aquabat78 thanks a lot!!! We are glad you liked the video build. Be sure to share this with everyone you know so we can make more episodes.

[mada310]

make some more episodes. this is the sickest show ever!

[prerunnermaniac]

@mada310 Glad you like the video. We are trying to get more episodes out but these are EXPENSIVE projects. So the best thing to do is share this wilth all your friends so we can attract more advertisers and get more videos out.

[mada310]

@prerunnermaniac how much do u think it would cost to put long travel on the front of my 2000 2wd f150? do u guys fabricate your own long travel front end or just install pre-made ones like the dixon bros front end?

[prerunnermaniac]

@mada310 No we leave the fabrication to the Fab Shops we feature. Dixon Bros Racing makes a great kit for your truck. A friend of mine has it on his quad cab F-150. Search Google for Dixon Bros Racing for more details.

[TJShisler]

this should become prerun my ride.

[prerunnermaniac]

@TJShisler ?I don't get it?

[erendirabaja]

Stock engine??

[prerunnermaniac]

@erendirabaja Yes except for a drop in K&N filter and the exhaust is cut off after the cat.

[xExRxIxCxKx]

idk if she's serious about all that offroad talk, she was talking about the lights and suspension like she knew what had been done to it already lol. all i know is that she is FIIIINE!!

[prerunnermaniac]

@xExRxIxCxKx yes she kind of had an idea of what to expect, and she thanks you for the complement.

[xExRxIxCxKx]

@prerunnermaniac yea but hot wife aside, this is pretty rad. wouldnt mind u doin it to my nissan 4x4 lol

[bigshowoff321]

how much would that cost for a 2oo1 explorer sport

[prerunnermaniac]

@bigshowoff321 You might not want to do this for an Explorer Sport. The short wheelbase will make for a wild ride off-road. There is a huge difference between our Explorer and our Ranger that is much longer.

Rough numbers including parts and services would be between $15k and $20k. The good part is unless you go jump the thing every weekend it will last you a long time.

[lamarfamar]

2wd of 4wd?

[prerunnermaniac]

@lamarfamar This is 2WD...our Ranger uses the same long travel kit but for 4WD.

[secret222]

woww soo sickk! i love seeing custom work done to SUV's turning them into prerunners! just bought a 02 grand cherokee, you guys wana build mine next!??? im savin for a factory kit, cant afford custom fab :(

[p4t0p3p3]

And then she go test this truck an the tranny fail XD!

[SKIM916]

u guys wanna do my 99 ranger? haha

[armnram]

love it

[bigmike97dak]

oh my god!!! I gotta buy a ford no prerunner kits for my dak

[TheYouMustBeBored]

that bronco looks prettty tight

[urdgk222]

i want one im still likeing for a truck :(

[butcherry45]

shoulda done a chevy but still cool

[aYoProductionZ]

fuck pimp my ride. this shits way sicker!

[prerunnermaniac]

Glad you liked the video. We have been working on a new series but this takes a ton of money so it is still in the works.

[gerby1818]

thats a hot soccer mom

[dyedm6]

nice build!

anyway to prerun a 1990 4 runner?

[pearcematt]

Awsome truck. I built the same one.

[prerunnermaniac]

Send us some pics of your prerunner so we can get it in the magazine

[pearcematt]

@prerunnermaniac do you have a email so I can get you those pictures?

[miguelyallday]

this should be the show on mtv instead of all that bullshit little hondas with 24 inch rims and 50 tvs. they should be showing real trucks built on tv. sick video and sick explorer.

[prerunnermaniac]

Glad you like the vid. I wish our sponsors could keep up with us so we can make more. That is all we are missing from turning this into a TV show.

[bigbubbas4x4]

Im seeing all the suspension and body work.But what has been done to give the truck enough power and torque to help glide across the dirt at high speeds

[prerunnermaniac]

Nothing too exciting, we show in the articles that we re-geared the rearend, it has a drop in KN Filter and we hacked off the muffler, so it is runs on the cats alone. Also this Explorer is a 5-speed so that helps, but really the deeper gears did the most. And yes we wish this was a V8 Explorer.

[nakabar]

that's a beastly transformation

[prerunnermaniac]

Thanks it really is a different truck now

[li7in6]

You guys wanted to make a "Desert Brawling Prerunner" but you chose to use MT tires because they 'look better'?

AT's are much better for sand and dirt than MT's if your not going with actual desert tires.

[prerunnermaniac]

Well in our experience the MT's work better. You must remember most race trucks including our prerunner are 2WD so you need as much traction as possible to the rear wheels

[li7in6]

The reason AT's work better is they provide better floatation over the soft stuff and typically have a better pattern for traction on the hard pack.

MT's will provide plenty of traction no doubt. but they tend to dig in the soft stuff and can get chucked apart by rocksa and gravel in high speed desert runs.

To each his own.

[li7in6]

Not to mention the AT's will provide better on road manners and less tire noise. I'm assuming this truck serves mainly as a rolling showcase for your shop so I'd also assume it spends most of its time on the street.

Judging from the graphics and my assumed purpose of the truck, you guys wanted more of an attention getter than an all out desert vehicle. and MT's do look more 'hardcore' to the layman.

[RussianMAFIADESIGN]

I have a 2001 Ford Explorer XLT, 2wd. How much would it cost to do that kit with the fab work on it?

[prerunnermaniac]

It is about $5k with the kit, shocks, fiberglass and install.

[SykoDj]

whats with those fender flares? everything else looks awesome but you should have left the fenders stock i go offroading all the time in my explorer havent had any problem with it yet andits stock height good job though other than the fender flares

[prerunnermaniac]

Those aren't fender flares they are fiberglass fenders and they are needed because the front track width is now 8 inches wider than stock. They also provide more room for bump travel. Regular fender flares would not give us the room we needed.

[SykoDj]

oooo ok got ya

[BenGi9002]

hey wht's up it's mike gannon's son that was pretty cool

[prerunnermaniac]

Glad you liked it.

[paintballjunkie65]

how big are those tires???

[prerunnermaniac]

285/75/16 or 33"

[paintballjunkie65]

oh thanx dude!

[camdenbryan]

IF u guys could maybe u could pump my bug its a 63 and im only 18 and i need some help makein it a true baja bug.. plz!

[88prerunner88]

i have a 2001 tacoma prerunner that i have personally blacked out and put an exhaust system on. i think you guys should take it on as a charity project!!!

[prerunnermaniac]

It would be great if we could Pump everyone's prerunner but it costs a ton of money to do this.

[jim4398]

how much about did it cost to do this one?

[ivanranger01]

wow love it!

iv been lookin aat your site ever since i got my ranger.

you guys should take into concideration fixing a 2001 raanger *cough mine *cough

[702miata]

thats awesome, ive seen this thing around vegas, and you guys have built me a bumper for my f150, weres you new shop?

i went to the old one but its gone now.

[HeavyGhost]

Why not a '91-'94 explorer? Beams are sexy... and flexy...

[prerunnermaniac]

Beams are sexy but we already had this Explorer.

[HeavyGhost]

You can use mine.. lol

[blackhawk250]

wow thats great shit, i wonder how the rear end holds up tho, since it cant quiet get the travel of a pick up truck

[prerunnermaniac]

It does pretty good, but your right it will never match a truck unless we did some serious modding.

[TwitchSRT]

you guys wanna build a 96 ranger 4wd single cab?

[Graptor660r]

everything is great I let you do the same to my f250.LOL

[prerunnermaniac]

Well if you can help spread the word about our video, we might be able to accept vehicle submissions....glad you like the video. We are working on episode 2 right now.

[kaymanclark]

It was alright.... good looking truck BUT you really need a producer. The video was just too cheezy. I almost couldn't watch it.

[prerunnermaniac]

Yes this first episode could be better, but we were going for a kind of cheezy feel.

I promise our next episode will have a bit more direction.

[ReggyRay289]

That was dope but a cool wone would be a 4wd trophy truck style!

[prerunnermaniac]

The next episode will be a Class 7 truck which is like a Trophy Truck but you are limited to a V6, suspension is unlimited.

[ReggyRay289]

Who cares as long as it looks cool! Turbo?

[longbeachdirtbag]

hells yea!

[prerunnermaniac]

I guess you like the video? LOL
