I decided I would start a build thread on my ranger. I just got her last year. 1993 Reg. Cab, 4.0 5 speed. 1st thing done was fix all the front steering components. Replaced tie rods, ball joints.I had a problem with the front diff, found out it had no bearings left. I got a used D35, and replaced it. Next thing was 2" lift for the front.Put some bedliner on the bed rails, will be doing the bottom as soon as it warms up. Replaced all the body bushings, that was a pain. Right now I bought some used JD brackets for the front, will be doing a 4" lift on her. Just ordered the Belltec shackels for the rear along with new hangers.

This is when I got her.

Yep. She does great off road. After the 31's wear out, will get some 33's and 4.56 gears and lockers.

Really haven't got much done lately, put some bedliner on the bottom. Got my new extended lines today, went with the Pro Comps. Ordered my 4" coils today. Still need to get the leafsprings off to change bushings, and install new hanger and belltech shackles.

Well my rear hanger let go because of rust, so I got my new ones installed, and also installed my Belltech shackles. Will get my coils put on when I finish updating my front brake lines.
