post in the wanted section, dont clog up the general discussions with this shit haha

 

[derrik]

i didnt even think of the wanted section -_-....my bad

i want a square body so i can throw a yota clip on it and bag it.

and where are you at that you come across ext cab 4cyl first or 2nd gens!?!?!?!
the 2.3 is a bad ass motor so i dont see why you say they suck,a little underpowered but they love turbos.

srsly?

I guess to each their own...but yikes! I dunno, maybe it's just my opinion, but I've always thought new s-10s looked better dropped than rangers. Did I just commit a sin?

Thou hast spoken truthfully........


I LOWERED mine 3"/4"

 

[Rose2300]

nah putting a yota clip on an older ranger is a fairly common practice. i havent seen many 1st gen 4cyl ext cabs in my area but idk

 

[derrik]

srsly?

yes bro!!!
the beams are the best for the desert but that tall frame and and
tib doesnt do so swell when you try to lay body.
and armadillion......ARE YOU FRICK'N SERIOUS!!!?????
every jack wagon out there that wants a lowered truck goes to the s10!!!
there catalog trucks!!!they can be built buy catalog shoping and bolt on parts!!

the first gen rangers look sooooo sick sitting on the rockers!

but back to my question ive been searching cali craigslist for 3 full days.these older square bodies are getting harder to find,did the 1st or 2nd gen ever come ext cab 2.3 5speed??

 

[thisfords4u]

86 2wd ext cab xlt 5spd but 2.9

86 2wd ext cab xlt 5spd but 2.9

Yup,that's all I seem to find and I REFUSE to buy a 2.9 for a daily,I may just have to buy a single cab and switch the cabs over.......then I have to switch vin plates and things could get legally messy :/ this is weak!!!

 

[jo5key]

The 98 and their up rangers have don't the i beam setup and it have a small easier which is used to lay out with the long or short arm . On this not use of yota clip because it trully a substantial amount of fab. my brother have a 00 ranger and it layed frame on the factory clip.

 

[derrik]

yah i know,i could easily lay out my 2002 to the rockers but im in love with the 1st and 2nd gens,and theres something to be said about being able to drive a truck not many people have layed out because the amount of work it takes to do one right.

ive seen only a handfull of beam trucks layed out and not many of them look safe to drive lol.....sketchy fab work lol
