so heres my 94 Ranger, i just got it like last week or sometime around there



ive got several small things a wanna get done soon, then some things that will take a while to save up some $$$.
first thing im gonna do is paint most the whole undercarage. im just gonna go get some equipment paint and do it since its a helluva lot cheaper than bed liner and its still decently strong. start on cleaning it today, gettin all the mud out of everywhere and sanding a little bit, finish up tomorow and try to get it completely painted on sunday and ready to drive to work monday.
but i can tell that probably wont happen like i hope.

i havent decided on colors yet though, ive been thinkin about
-all black
-black with IH red axles
-CAT yellow axles
-Ford/New Holland blue (if they have some) axles
-or Allis Chamler orange axles


*eventually* id like to swap in a set of 3.73s with the T-Lok, these 3.27s are buggin me. also with a set of 33" MTs. but for the mean time i think im gonna look into welding the rear up.
i want to take off the front bumper and maybe put up a piece of C-channel with tow hooks on it, i want a steel bumper on the back too.

yup, 4.0, 5spd, manual t-case


i almost started painting today, but its thundering pretty good, i dont think it would have time to dry if i could paint it before the rain comes in.
i think i am just gonna do black axles cause i thought about it and i dont think any other color would look good with a red truck, except maybe red. might try and paint my diff cover something else though.

man.... its really gonna be hard to keep it clean before i paint it, its gonna be so nice an muddy out

i might take you up on that, i think i know were i can get some metal at
for my favorite price

what are your plans...other than the paint???
33" tires, 3.73 lsd gears, maybe weld the rear in the mean time, bumpers, not sure on other plans yet
tires might be away off, unless i can find some cheap MTs, but ive heard the cheaper they are the louder they are, so who knows
