I recently saw a thread asking about how long some of us have been here, myself, I've been here 20 years in July. I don't think I've ever really showed off where I started or where I'm at now with my truck, so here we go, this isn't really a build thread but I will cover the major things and...

Anyone ever run one of these? I know they're not top of the line but the ability to stick the radio somewhere I can't see it is attractive to me. Does anyone know of anything similar that may be better?

88 2.9, a4ld, 1350m combination, in a truck I bought for parts, it's of no use to me but might be of use to someone. Ran when parked in 1997 and cranks now, trans fluid is dark but not burnt. Fuel system in truck is complete garbage and I'm not going to invest the time in trying to get it...

Recently I picked up a first gen long bed with a service body I've never seen on a Ranger before. The body is made by Reading and is all aluminum. It even came with the keys for all of the locks on the body. After measuring the interior space I determined that it will fit a standard full...

Went and looked at this truck today, body is made by Reading and is all aluminum. It looks like it was made for the ranger, truck would have been a long bed. I've never seen one before.

Have a 1350 doubler box, I purchased it used from a Facebook group, went through it and repaired some things and replaced some parts, plus ran it through the parts washer and such. I decided to go a different direction and will not be using it, would rather see someone get some enjoyment out of...

I've been getting tired of the stock ranger gearbox having a ton of play, I've replaced it 4 or 5 times with reman units and it either has play out of the box or leaks pretty soon after I install. Adjusting the preload does nothing, it's all side to side play in the sector shaft. I've been...

Does anyone know if there are any companies making replacement covers for the first gen stx seats? I have a set and they're quite comfortable but look like garbage and I'd like to re cover them. I would not like to use a set of universal covers over the top, would like to replace what is there.

How has everyone dealt with under hood heat? I don't have an engine overheating problem, I've got an all aluminum 2 core radiator and the coolant temp never gets above 210 or so, so that's a non issue. The engine is supercharged, has headers which are wrapped, and I run a large alternator, two...

Truck is a 98 with a 2.5 and manual trans. I've been having an occasional issue with low idle (350rpm) and sometimes is accompanied by a stall, seems most prevalent when electrical loads are high (headlights and blower on) I can't force it to do it, it seems to just do it when it wants to...

Has anyone found any reman steering boxes that aren't trash? I just replaced the reman box I had about a year ago because of excessive play, new one was fine for a few months and now the play is back. there is no play in any tie rod end, or ball joint, the pitman arm is tight, and the rag...

Anyone ever run the chevy 63 inch pro comp 13211 leaf springs in their truck and ditch the factory block? I've got a set in mine right now with a 2.5 inch dodge lift block in place of the factory 1.5 and beltech 6400 shackles in there also. The stock 91 chevy springs are pretty clapped out and...

I've been running a 6 inch skyjacker lift with extended radius arms for over a decade and I've been having issues with the plastic radius arm spacers cracking (factory ranger part). I've had hose clamps wrapped around them for almost as long as I've had the lift installed and they still crack...

Thinking about getting a gmrs radio to supplement my tuned cb but thinking I would like to go with a reasonable quality handheld as it will not see much use and would be reasonably close to others. I see the specs for distance and whatever and it doesn't really tell me how they preform in the...

88 2.9 and 4x4 FM146, ran well before mice got to the wiring, local pickup in Chazy, NY or would be willing to meet you up to 3 hours from me if you wanted to cover gas for my travel. Trying to make space and clear out stuff I dont need, if I still have it by the end of September it's getting...

Did a 4.0 swap about 10 years ago and plumbed everything with rubber fuel injection hose, I've been thinking about replacing it with OE style nylon line and push connect fittings as I can borrow the tool to properly assemble the lines. I feel like it's a better choice than using rubber lined...

It's probably been asked before but I'm going to beat that dead horse a bit more. Does anyone know of anyone who makes custom chips for EEC-IV? Anyone to avoid? Looking to swap to larger injectors due to the stock ones not supplying enough fuel for what I'm doing. If anyone here does such...

I've been attempting to change the tire size and abs reluctor wheel tooth count using forscan and it keeps coming up with an error saying it's an invalid configuration and won't go any further with it. I've tried this with both a J2534 and ELM327 adapters and get the same result. Am I missing...

I've never actually done a write up ever, and never intended to do it with this project but it seems like there is some interest so I'll bring you along for a probably not so brief account of how I made everything work. About 3 years ago I decided that I wanted to install a supercharger on my...

In the process of repairing and rerouting some power window and lock wiring on my 86 I noticed some extra wires in the harness that goes across the radiator support that appear to go to power mirrors. I can find wiring diagrams for them but I've never seen them and a google search shows no info...
