  • Project Rolling Thunder is getting safer with an all-new roll cage, racing seats and all the safety gear we need to hit the track. Then, we're doing body mods to make room for our 295 - 35s upfront.

    I can't believe how good this truck looks......probably the cleanest build I've ever seen on this truck.

    Im loving all the sheet metal work yall are doing to the Mazda. TRUCKS makes me want to start building a second Ranger 100x better than my 94 extended cab Splash with a SN95 5.0 under the hood.
    It'll be cool if every viewer with a street inspired Ranger could send a picture to the show just to prove why Project Rolling Thunder is the best segment in the History of TRUCKS!

    I know I have given you boys a lot grief about the ranger vs mazda thing and i stay steadfast on that point!!!! But I will give credit where it’s derived. This has been the best build on PN ever can’t wait to see the finish product.

    That’s some kind a proof that it’s so much better to improve an existing vehicule, than buy a « new » one from... somewhere..!
    Trust your local shops and do what you can to let them improve their skills..
    The best way to reach your dream car, for a better price and quality...
    Our future is Like that on any way...
    God bless you all (that’s already done...)
    Love you...😜

      Like most of the projects on these shows either a member of the show or crew owns it, a sponsor owns it or it’s a washing machine by now. That’s generally the fate of most tv vehicle projects.

    Should have cut into the body and push the cage out everywhere as far as possible cut into the door and recess the door bar cut the a pillar most of the way out and make it part of the cage etc give er way more room inside

    He had an extra fender from a couple of episodes ago. He could have done the front wheel arches just like he did the back and he wouldn’t have had to make filler panels from scratch.

      What's wrong with three-piece forged wheels and T/A KDW tires? They're not the greatest tire in 2020, but were a pretty good choice 9 years ago when this show was filmed.
