Thankyou RonD, I am aware of the legality of the GVWR and GCWR numbers. I did not know that by changing the VIN (I'm assuming by essentially making it your own vehicle through extreme enough mods), you could change these ratings legally? I haven't looked too deep into this. As much as I would...

Hey DRanger024, thanks for the helpful input. I remember back when I was a wee lad, I used to work part-time doing commercial demolitions, and there was a guy who would occasionally pick up dunnage and help out the company by moving a ton (and I mean literal ton, if not probably more) of gravel...

Howdy yall, I've had my 99 4wd ranger for about 6 months now. Love the thing, but my initial plan of doin the usual 302 you commonly see has changed quite a bit. Bottom line up front: I'm curious if anyone would know of how significant of a difference in fuel economy a pair of super duty 05+...

Thanks for the recommendation I'll check out the d44 and d60 options. I am aware or the FOA long travel 4.5" suspension lift but i still don't know if that includes axles with it. I would hope so considering it's 4 grand before taxes and shipping. I'm thinking about doing the exterior of the...

Well guys it's been a while now and I am still on the hunt for the DV. As of now I'm lined up to get a 99' 5sp 4x4 3.0 with the flareside bed tomorrow knock on wood. Anyways, I am having a hard time having absolute clarity on what parts to get and what to get first for this build idea of mine...

Thank you for the good info here! As I mentioned above in some of my other replies, I am currently looking into a 1999 4.0 manual 4wd. Any conflicts here? Any holes in the plans? I am looking for recommendations on what transfer case (able to be mated to a second T-Case and doubler) to run with...

Some good points, I am not married to the idea of bench seats. The 99 DV I am looking at now has the fold down center console/middle seat and is a manual 4wd 4.0. The fold down seat/console is probably more preferred than a true bench seat anyways.

I should have further specified. It is not necessarily the jumpseats more so than it is the extra space provided from having the extended cab. But I do have a 4 year old and likely another on the way in time so jumpseats are a must as well.

Good question, yes it will have to pass emissions in Arizona. I am definitely trying to do an EFI set up now. As for the boxed frame, is a 1999 4wd manual going to have a boxed frame? This is what I am currently looking at getting for the DV. Feel free to poke any holes in my plan.

***Additionally, I am open to using the McNeil Racing one piece raptor conversion and I would prefer one of these two raptor conversion kits the most, but I may also be open to using the McNeil 6" or 10" bulge fenders instead, and then just get one of the commonly added F-O-R-D raptor style...

Hello everyone, it is good to finally make my first post and series of inquiries regarding some ranger goals I have in mind, moving forward with a future project truck. I'll post an introduction later separately to keep this as short as possible. I am currently at a phase in my life where my...
