hey since i just and starting to get some work done on the ranger again i thought id start a build thread
so back in sept 2011 my old 1990 ranger kicked the bucket (tranny) and since it was starting to have weekly problems i decided not to put anymore money into it. kind of wish i kept it though...
well after a week or two with out a truck i found this work truck.
it was a 1997 ext cab 4l 4x4 and was red lol. its was in meh condition but ran good and was a good price to. only pic stock
it stayed stock for about a week till i started swapping things over. first lights and cb. then tires (31s) and lift (4" rough country).
tires no lift
lift and tires
31s to 33s
then i painted fenders and bumpers (i had some over spray )
put on power mirrors (still have to do the wiring)
before
after
then i picked up some bumpers. the front went on right away but the back sat for about 2/3 months
and within the last 2 weeks i did my chevy leaf swap and put on my rear bumper. looks like a bush truck now....
still on my list is
6" superlift coils
front locker
rock sliders
and some other stuff lol
