Koty's 91 Ranger Build Thread

Good looking second gen xkotyx. Keep up the good work brother. I like where it's heading.

 

[xkotyx]

thanks guys and im not sure about the tires yet. they will have to be remounted, they dont hold air well. and the front wont be able to be balanced because someone put slime tire inflator in them and didnt drive it after.

but anyways, the rears are almost full tread, and luckily the front are the ones that are messed up, because they are less than 1/4 tread left.

haha i dont think i could try! im 5'10" and about 170 lbs. nothing to brag about haha. there were some guys doing it though.

besides i found like 15 explorers, and all but like 2 were robbed of the engine and usually drivetrain. and the 2 that werent, one was half gutted, and the other was a burn victim.

and of the other rbvs that had engines, they were 4 cyl's

well somebody is supposed to come by this weekend and look at my f150. if he buys for $200, ill let him take it to wherever it needs to go then ill remove the axles from there to make it easy on him.

 

[xkotyx]

got the f150 running today for the guy to come tomorrow. i was having second thoughts about it as soon as i heard that 400 v8 fire up.

oh well, i dont have the money to get it running good while im messing with my ranger and i dont know how much longer ill be living where im at, so i shouldnt have too many vehicles. man this sucks

 

[Clay Lorance]

Keep us posted on the situation brother.

Keep us posted on the situation brother.

well i called the guy back today to see if he was coming and no answer. i left a voicemail but havent heard anything yet. maybe he isnt interested.

guess the only people who would be in the market for a truck with no axles would be for the engine and a few body parts.

damn that sucks. the f150 is sweet. the ranger is looking good to
let me know if you decide to part out the 79, i could use some parts for mine

no problem im hoping to get it sold as a whole but ill let you know if not.

we thought it was a 79 when i bought it but when the guy got the title it said 78. he didnt even know lol.

but yeah man, it does suck. but with lack of cash and unsure housing situation within the next year, its time.

what did you need if i decide to part it?

 

[Boggin]

wow. umm thats a big list lol, the whole truck would be sweet haha. ill go through the crap i need and pm you, sound cool?

oh cmon, bring a flatbed down to the states and buy the whole thing! id like 300, but ill go as low as 200.

 

[Boggin]

if you wanted id give you 500. as long as it runs and drives man i would pay good cash for that as well as everyone else here. those trucks are VERY hard to come by here on the island now
