Original Cost
It was a trade
Build Cost
Blood, sweat, tears and cussing
What was the inspiration?
My husband and I have always been into cars and trucks since we’ve been together. We originally had a bagged Escape and a bagged Fusion. Craig then got his minitruck and I took over his Fusion. It wasn’t long after that that I wanted my own truck. We traveled to North Carolina and traded the Fusion for my Ranger. After one year of showing the Ranger we quickly realized we needed it off i-beams. We contacted Jeremiah Sibray of Addictive Fabworks to help with the transformation. It originally was supposed to be just changing the back half of the frame and changing the front bag set up. Well one thing led to another and we decided to body drop it with a custom built frame. Then while we were figuring out the framing for the bed, Jeremiah put a tilt bed in my head. That’s when things went all out. With custom paint of House of Kolor, Candy Grape on top and Silver on bottom. This of course made the full tan tweed interior not go with the theme, so that was changed. We originally ordered the same V6 engine, but due to COVID and the lack of parts that engine never came, we had to come up with a plan B. Well, plan B ended up being a 302 V8 and that required pushing the engine closer to the firewall. My pedals had to be moved up 6 inches, which worked out great for me since I’m so short. I also had to get rid of all the AC and heat, which left a big hole in the firewall. Jeremiah surprised me with my bead-rolled rose where all those components were. He also bead-rolled my bed for me as well.
How long did it take you to build?
Year and half
How long have you been building?
My husband and I have been building together for about 10 years. This truck was the first from the ground up. Jeremiah Sibray was the main fabricator.

Your future plans?
At some point I would like to put underglow on, but I like to keep people on their toes on what I may do next. For now, I would like to put more attention to my husband’s truck since he has put his on the back burner for the last year and half building mine.
Vehicle history
Since it was trade, not much to tell except it needed a lot of work
Thanks to
I would like to thank Jeremiah Sibray and his son Jeremiah Sibray, Jr. of Addictive Fabworks for all their hard work on this build. He is truly a master at his craft. He always goes above and beyond to have high quality of work but also very safe. Not only is he a good friend, but he and his family are considered family. I also want to thank his family (Jennifer, Jeremiah Jr. and Julianna) for their patience with this build, as there were a lot of weekend and late nights working on this truck. To my husband, Craig Snyder for making so many sacrifices, so that I could have the build I envisioned and standing by me through all my changes and breakdowns. You are my number one supporter and have my back no matter what. I couldn’t do any of this without you by my side. Thank you for all your little surprises with the truck as well. Jody Clark at Jody Clark Pinstriping Studio for the pinstriping. Kody Snyder and Jerry Gilman for all the final detailing that I didn’t have the equipment for. Jacob Sankowski for making sure the house and dogs were taken care of when we spent our weekends away building the truck. There are various people that helped out by either coming by and picking up the cab or when we needed the extra hand, and I appreciate everyone.

“Lil’ Tilted”

1994 Ford Ranger

The 1994 Ford Ranger is a classic truck that has undergone a stunning transformation in the hands of Angie Snyder, the owner of Lil’ Tilted. This truck is a sight to behold with a tilt bed and a custom-built frame that has been body-dropped for a low and sleek look. The truck’s exterior is painted in House of Kolor’s Candy Grape and Silver, which contrasts beautifully with the tan tweed interior that has been completely redone.

Under the hood, Lil’ Tilted boasts a powerful 302 V8 engine with various modifications, including a Mustang GT cam, heads, exhaust manifold, and an Edelbrock intake and valve covers. To ensure smooth performance, the engine is fitted with a Holley Sniper EFI. The truck’s custom-built frame has been equipped with a Phat Phabz four-link suspension system, Airlift airbags, and Viar compressors.

The truck’s wheels are 18-inch Intro Dangerous rims wrapped in 235/40/18 tires, providing an excellent stance that complements the body-drop. The truck’s body has undergone various modifications, including a tilt bed, Legacy ragtop, shaved door handles, shaved tail lights, shaved gas door, shaved tailgate, shaved roll pan, shaved roof drip rails, and a custom bead-rolled bed floor and firewall.

The truck’s interior is just as impressive, featuring custom black leather and gray suede upholstery with purple stitching, a custom center console, and custom speaker boxes in the extended cab. The dashboard features Dolphin gauges, while the audio system comprises a Boss head unit, Hi Fonics amps, and Rockford Fosgate speakers. The Lokar shifter adds a touch of class to the interior, making it as stylish as the exterior.

Lil’ Tilted is the product of a year and a half of hard work and dedication, with Angie Snyder and her husband building the truck together. They traded their bagged Ford Escape and bagged Ford Fusion for the Ranger and embarked on a journey that saw them transform the truck into the beauty it is today. The truck is a testament to their passion for cars and trucks and their commitment to excellence in their builds.

In conclusion, the 1994 Ford Ranger is a classic truck that has been transformed into a stunning work of art by Angie Snyder and her team. Lil’ Tilted is a perfect example of what can be achieved through hard work, dedication, and a commitment to excellence. It is no wonder that Lil’ Tilted has gained attention and admiration from truck enthusiasts, earning a spot in Gauge Magazine
