Most everyone involved in pre-runners knows RJ Fab and Rob Lindsay’s work. He’s built several off-road prerunners, including the 1989 Ford Ranger which was featured in the March 2018 issue of SCORE Journal. It’s still one of the top prerunners of the Terra Crew group with its show-quality I-Beam front suspension, full chromoly boxed frame, and 3-link rear suspension, all of which Lindsay built by hand. The suspension provides 20” of travel in the front, and 30” at the rear, controlled by Fox Racing Shocks.
This prime example of a “luxury prerunner” uses a big block 532 Chevy engine with a TH400 automatic. Lindsay built everything from the frame, chassis, differential housing, and the aluminum interior dash. The seats are Corbeau Baja XP units and Rudy Upholstery covered everything in tan leather. Only the fenders were purchased, the front from McNeil Racing and the rears by McQueen Prototype Design. The truck sits on 39-inch diameter BFGoodrich Baja T/A tires on Walker Evans 17-inch rims and Camburg spindles outfitted with Wilwood brakes. KC Hilites LED’s sit across the roof and grille, and finishes the prerunner appearance package. But if you think this prerunner is a show queen, you’d be wrong. It has seen plenty of off-road action and continues to inspire off-road enthusiasts to start building their own prerunners.
