Picked up a 1985 Ford Ranger 4x4. Fabricated some frame reinforcements/roll bar mount, next in line is solid axle swap. Got a d44 front and 9inch for the rear. Very low budget project cause im 15 and all the money is earned or out of my parents pockets.

Sorry but I've gotta ask, what the hell is up with your exhaust in that 1st picture of the rear. Is there a bar holding the end on?

What kind of shock set up is that???? I also see stacked blocks under your rear leaves too, I would get rid of those. If you need lift, do the chevy 63inch rear leaf swap.

Looks good, will be watching.
