gi728 · 10-01-2010, 08:58 AM

To start I own a 1988 ranger supercab. its lifted 4inches. on 31'' bfgs. i am looking to put a whole list of things into it....

here they are:
-motor-- 5.0 302 efi
-tranny-- f-150 4 speed w/ od manual
- transfercase-- one out of a f-150 (not sure what type)
- rear end-- 9in
- front end-- dana 44
- interior-- change from the red to black
- exterior-- brush gaurd, light bar, new front bumper, and a spare tire mount ( off a blazer),
-extra goodies-- 2nd gas tank where the factory spare tire is.. kc daylighters.. maybe new rims.. and yes new locking hubs...

and I am trying to do this on a Marines pay, LCpl to be exact.. the cheaper the better...

please e-mail me any tips you may have..

thanks

Find a running donor F-150 4x4 and put the Ranger body on it.

well the ranger looks great right now, i just want to have a project when i get home... but ill most likely end up buyin a old f150 and working from there... open a chop shop or something!

Well I just got a new car. This way I can really tear into the ranger. Wish me luck. I will be posting pictures as soon as i start.

A Dayna 35 fould be much easier to put in the front. They use the same axleshafts as the 44 and, unless your going really hardcore wheeling, will be just as strong. Just something to think about.
Good luck with the project, can't wait for pics.

yeah, i have been looking into that, still have not really started. still looking around for ideas.
