| My name is Justin, I've been breathing air for almost 29 years now. Currently living in Dearborn Heights, Michigan. But my roots are in Bradenton Florida. I got married almost a year ago to my wife that I've been with goin on 10 years. I've been around cars and trucks well, forever. Love working on custom stuff. I've met a lot of great people throughout the years going to shows, and have made a lot of great friendships in the process. It's funny cause I wandered around the Acro forums and saw at least 6 people that I know, and never knew they were a part of the Acrophobia family...CRAZY ! I've gotten to see Canada Matt, and my good friend/brother seperated at birth, Ryan Throp in Bradenton Florida, join this close knit group, and I've been talking with Ryan about also joining up as well. I guess a little about my money pit, and some pics would be good. Most people that know the truck have seen it go through many stages. From just laid out on ponies, to back halfed with 20's and beams. Then the addition of the 2.3 turbo engine, then the 22's with beams. And now to the final stage of its existance........ It's a 90 ranger that I've built a full tube stock floor chassis for. It sits on 22's all around, yota front front suspension with tubular arms. An explorer rear axle with disc brakes, narrowed 10 inches, rebuilt and coated. I've recently had a fire under my ass, and have been working on it like crazy. Some new features since the last time people saw it in Greenville '06. Tilt bed, fully reframed floor, original bench seat, 56 bel air dash, totally reworked front suspension, 302 stuffed in to fit below the hood. Raised stock bed floor, Shaved all the normal stuff, including the cowl and wipers, molded front fenders. I'm now focusing on getting the doors suicided, wiring the engine, getting the right hand drive done, and getting the truck ready to hit the final stages of fab, so that this winter it can go to body and paint. The truck just made it to a local show this past weekend. I'm looking to hit the RA show, and make it to Tampa for slamfest in October with the truck. So hello to everyone I don't know, and WHAT UP ! to everyone on here that I do. You'l be seeing me around for sure. | |

I'm focusing on it as much as possible to have it done within the next 6 months. LOL, it's been a long time coming. Oh And I hear ya about all the $ ventures your encountering. Bewtween me and the damn F150 and the wedding I put the ranger on the back burner. I keep forgetting your truck is this way, I know how you feel not having it around and being able to take to shows. And lol get your damn passport, what a BS thing to make money off of us. our ID's were good enough. Let me know if you need anything, since your stuck over there ; ) | |

| whats up Justin, good to see you working on the ranger again. Truck is going to be phenomenal, I see you have the hood off now, did you figure out a way to keep the tires under it? I imagine they probably have an even smaller tire now for the dueces
keep up the great work man | |

| KatFish- Yeah I was there. I guess more for support than anything. Well diggin all the cars too.
Mike- Thanks ! : ) I did figure a way to clear, I'm going to try that route. I don't think I'd wanna put a smaller tire on the wheels anyways. Our roads here suck ass. I had the hood off over the weekend just so everything could be seen without having to bend underneath it. | |
