Hi, hope this is the right spot for this question.
I have a 88 ranger short bed single cab 2.0L 2wheel drive, I got rid of the motor/tranny for a 302, with a ZF 5S-42 trans, and put a 8.8 LS 3.08 gears under it. I've been slowly changing out parts and driving it daily, but I'm wondering If I got some paddle tires on rear and pull the front clip off, if it will mobilize around sand dunes fine? didn't know if the motor/tranny would make front too heavy and rear would just be a tiller lol.
would like some input from experience, I go to Waynoka, OK with quads and side by sides, but My whole Intentions was to build a sand truck but its hard to buy parts without $$$.
I've seen jeeps out in the dunes but they were in 4wd and they didn't get around very good.
