Seams my ranger has grown some interests on the forms so I guess I'll make a post for it.

Clifford is A 1988 ford ranger stx that's started out at a 2.9v6 automatic with manual transfercase. I have since 4.0 swaped it with a 93 ranger engine, dash, fuel tank, and the whol wiring harness. Have added a 1999 explore 8.8 4.10 gear 31 spline disk rear axle with ruff stuff lesf mounts and have since put an auto locker in it. The front has been updated to a dana 35 with 4.10s. The truck is currently sitting on a 4" rough county lift with there 4" leafs in the rear. Has for the electric side of things. I have upgraded to a 270amp alternator from brand X. I have two yellow top under the hood and a renogy 100ah agm in the bed, running two 100 watt renogy color panels on the roof though a renogy charge controller for camping i have a 45l fridge/ freezer i run in the bed. For all the lights i am a diodedynamics Ambassador so I run all there off road lights/ rock lights. When weather get colder we also fun a vevor diesel heater.as for the tent it is a inspired overland standard size. Current running a new set of celimo 32x11.50r15 m/t tires and loving them

If you guys have any questions about the ranger please ask!

What snorkel kit did you use and what does your intake routing look like under hood? Seems like there is awful lot of stuff there on my truck.
 
Glad I finally talked you into posting here brother. Hopefully we can get you to some of the events and gatherings.
 
Sweet rig.

I love the square auxillary lights. They look like they do their job well
 
Sweet setup.

Used the factory 4.0 intake tube with the factory air flow sensor mounted to an amo can with a section of 3" pipe off to the side to mount up to the 1989 Toyota land cruiser snorkel! I'll get a picture here in a little bit

I've seen people use the 60 series snorkels on 93+ Rangers, I always wondered how they fit the flatter first gen fender. Looks like it was made for it.
 
I needed a little First Gen motivation...

The Bronco II of mine needs a few weeks of focus...
 
This looks like a simple, strong build using mostly the best factory parts. It should handle some abuse and last you years. The Rough Country lift is going to be your weakest link.
