Well my name says it all, its a 1993 Ranger, 4wd. 3.Slow 5 speed. Bought it about 3 months ago for 1500.00 with 110,000 miles. Has had a few problems but nothing I havent been able to work out with the help of yall.

First thing I did was a tune up and washer her up good. Here is a picture of the ranger the day I got it.







Next thing I did was drive it till the driveshaft snapped, fixed that and back on the road.



Got tired of driving with no tunes so Installed this.

Alpine Head Unit with CD, USB
Altec Lansing Tweeters on Door
Alten LAnsing 6x8's In the door
Pioneer Speakers in Rear Panel with custom made adapter.
Walmart Woofer :p a whole 10 dollars!

Works good for only 75 bucks total!

Before:



After:








New wheels, because I like black.



Still to come,

New Grille:



Hood Protector:



265/75/15's:



This is a slow build because Im 17 and work a Dairy Queen and have no money haha. Stay tuned for more exciting modifications!

Let me know what yall think!

Thanks,
Zach

haha seems like fast food is where the teen employment is at. Not an ideal job but hell, a paycheck is a paycheck. Just got accepted into college, the Ford ASSET program so now I need to come up with 5 grand for tools plus I need new tires bad. Haha oh well, when the money comes it will happen.

Nice. How much of a dog is the 3.0? My dad just bought a 98 with it and it has 31 inch BF Goddrich A/T tires and my 2.8 can out do it in a drag race? Only thing about his is its an auto tranny (yuck).

I honestly havent felt a difference. If anything the acceleration is smoother due to my tires not being out of round.

Sweet good luck with your build. I really liked my ranger and really miss it now that i sold it. The guy i sold it to is my cousins friend he wrecked it last winter and it has been sitting since i should talk to him about it and get it back. I still have jamesduff extended radius arms for it, james duff drop brackets, and some camburg 5.5" coils. I had big plans then the motor went south and i lost interest, now im regretting it.

Yeah, I love this truck. Cant wait to get the money to do the body lift, front bumper and other things I have planned for it, but as of right now I will just drive her the way she is.

I still have to get that grille on and the hood deflector.

Really love thse new tires, have some really nasty mixed freezing snow sleet ice on the ground and these tires are beast.
