Just to clarify, when I was talking about in front or behind and inboard or outboard I was talking about the flange in this picture. I was not talking about if the caliper should be forward or aft of the axle, relative to the truck.

I have no idea. I've never used the kit you are talking about or done the Mustang brake swap. The components look similar, so I was hoping those pictures might be able to help you make better sense out of what you were given with the kit. They aren't exactly the same though. For one I highly...

Welcome. Just a suggestion, put some details in your sig so we'll know what you've got when you start talking about them or asking questions.

I hear cleaning a shotgun on the front porch when they arrive works pretty good. Can't say from experience, I was just friends with my prom date and was well enough known to her family that they weren't worried about it. Not that them making a threat would have worked well on me anyway.

Have fun with it. Start a build thread in the appropriate section and keep us updated. The 2.3 can do a lot when you add a snail, modify a few things, and add the right tuning. I've thought about the prerunner fender as wide body kit thing before too. My only problem with doing it is that most...

Based on pictures of the kit on SSBC website, it looks like they just packaged the mustang rear disc conversion. If that is correct, this might help: https://www.therangerstation.com/tech/ford-ranger-bronco-ii-rear-disc-brake-conversion/

Really? It's showing on my screen. If it isn't working now, something weird is going on with pictures of his truck. There was a similar problem when the last TOTM list went up.

Well, my nomination would have been XLTsplash. I nominated his truck last month and was going to renominate if it didn't win. Ya know, I think @TexasDuck66 should have another shot at it as well. 1988 Ford Ranger 2.9L 4x4 '5 Speed Restoration Project. | The Ranger Station EDIT: Changed...

It would be awesome to come see all the rides, but with timing I can only do one or the other. Given that the TRS 25th anniversary will only happen once, I'd rather plan for that.

Well turns out even $3770 must be a pretty good price. This popped on my FBMP feed today: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/369836208745458/

Modbox and an M90?

I'm in a holding pattern for now. Have the leave set aside, but don't know if I'm going to have the truck able to make the trip. Soon as I know it's good, I'll get registered.

Absolutely. Was supposed the be an "easy" drop it in and go project. Then enjoy for a few years while I collected parts and decided how I wanted to build the engine. Now I'd be happy just to not think about it for a few weeks while I get some stuff done on the others.

:icon_confused: Just checked, they offer them for the 2004-2010 Rangers, but not earlier ones. As far as I am aware the floor pans didn't really change on the extended cabs from 1994-2010. There may have been some variation for the 2 door vs 4 door, but it wouldn't have affected front floor...

Drove it home this evening and somewhat compared the gauge and engine RPM. That is actual rpm from ECU not guessing from the gauge needle. It looks like on 10w-30 I'm running about 10# per 1k RPM. Not good, but the engine would survive there for a little while. Thicker oil (or an addative) will...
