Finally decided to give a build thread for my 1991 ford ranger xlt 2wd. Got my truck july of 2014 and been using it as a daily driver since and just fixing problems here and there and giving the truck a little more lift. The truck came with 158,000 miles when I got it. It has the 3.0 slow in it and it also is a 5spd manual.
How it looked when I first bought it
How it looks Today
Things Done To It So Far
-Explorer Leaf Springs
-2 inch coil Springs
-3 inch body lift
-Explorer Console
-29 inch all terrain tires (28.9 if you wanna be exact)
-aftermarket radio and a cb radio
-Thrush Turbo Muffler
-adjustable camber and caster bushings
-Switched 3.55 gear ratio axle for a 3.73 that was picked up from junkyard
-Cup Holders from newer ranger because it never had any.
-1997 F-150 Shocks for the bigger springs
Here are some pictures
The reason I was able to pick up the truck up so cheap was becaus it was overheating really bad. And so it turned out to be the wrong fan which was pushing air back out instead of in because the fins were reversed.
Things I still want to do
-build a new bumper or raise the one I have
-mabye in the future a dana 30 sas swap
-Locker in the rear and dana 30 if it happens
-regear axles to 4.56 and run 33's
-led lights in cab and dash
-use an 8.8 explorer axle to get 31 spline and disk brakes
