    Driveshaft for M50D swap

    I'm getting ready to swap my blown FM-145 for a M50D and have a few questions about the driveshaft lengths. I measured the lengths of both transmissions and the M50D is shorter. Where can i get a longer driveshaft for the rear and a shorter for the front?

    Snow

    Well it snowed in NE Ohio this week quite a bit which isn't usual for this time of year. But hey, snow means snow wheelin, and thats what I managed to accomplish. Hopefully it snows some more this week to make it a bit more challenging. Anyhow, on with the pics. Enjoy :icon_cheers:

    At the farm

    Was at my farm today and got to flexin' a bit and decided to stop and take some pics and an exhaust video. The exhaust is 2.5 from the manifold back with a cherry bomb w/o a converter exiting before the rear tire with a 3" tip. Enjoy :icon_cheers:

    Eff this guy

    I found this link on b2.org and about cried. Then the idiot goes on to explain how bad it handles and rolls it over because he obviously has no idea it's based of a RANGER and not a porshe. I wish that thing would have came back and bit him in the arse for that. :flipoff::pissedoff...

    Best way to remove manifold studs?

    I have an 87 ranger with a 2.9 and a rusted out h-pipe. I bought a y-pipe and made a custom flange at the end of it to run a single 2.5 pipe to a high flow cat and a cherry bomb running out before the rear tire. I was looking at my manifold studs today and was wondering if the studs thread into...

    Overheating 2.9

    I just got my truck together, its an 87 ranger 4x4 blah blah blah. Anyhow, i bought an electric fan for it to replace the garbage clutch fan that was on it.

    ranger problems

    I'm finishing up the cab swap on my ranger. It's an 87 with a 2.9, manual trans and transfer case. When i took the truck apart and i took the inertia swtich out i hit the reset button on accident. Anyways, it won't start after i got it all together. Is the switch the reason why it won't start?

    What exhaust setups are legal?

    I have an 87 ranger and it's been under the knife for quite some time now. Anyways, its almost done and road legal, my question is about the exhaust. I want to run a side exit exhaust that ends before the rear tire. Is that legal or no? BTW, i live in OH so if anyone knows chime in.
