I recently purchased a 1992 Ranger XLT 4x4 with 4.0/A4LD/3.73 ratio.
The trans won’t go into gear without revving the engine. So a rebuild or replacement likely in order, and the tires need replacement before the snow flies no matter what I do with the truck.
My plans are to use the truck as a daily driver and for light duty off road for hunting, fishing, mining, camping exploring and towing of a trailer under 4K lbs.
I will be doing most, if not all of the work myself and my budget is $4,000 including the transmission, which I can do myself along with other minor issues with the truck.
I anticipate doing a suspension or body lift kit to allow for larger tires, and using the stock wheels if usable for the tire size I decide to go with, most likely in the 31-33” range. I am thinking reliable function over form for this build.
Any ideas or thoughts appreciated!
