  2. Start of ranger overhaul - in the United kingdom

    The truck was imported from Nevada last year. We do have ford rangers over here but they are totally different, horrible weedy diesel engines mainly, well the older ones were, newer ones have bigger capacity diesels but they are largely all double cabs. A single cab pickup truck is a rare thing...

    We were a little behind in getting cable/sat TV compared to you guys, we didn't have a great deal of choice in what we watched.
  4. Start of ranger overhaul - in the United kingdom

    That's very true but end of the day it was a car in the film too rather than a truck........ in the uk most people wouldn't know a ford truck from a chevy truck anyways. I mean the big FORD writing stamped on the tailgate might be a slight giveaway I guess.
  5. Start of ranger overhaul - in the United kingdom

    So Ive been trying to decide on paint schemes. Now as corny as it is I love the film 'Days of thunder' so have decided to do the truck along those lines. Please excuse the poor photo modifying, give an idea though. Ive recently purchased some 15x8 Nascar style steel wheels and suitable profile...

    Hi all I’m after a passenger side front fender for a 1986 ranger, any colour as long as it’s largely dent/rust free. Slight issue is I’m in the uk so will need it shipped. Anyone help out?

  11. Axle flip brackets - 1986 Ranger

    Hi all, I'm wanting to lower the rear of my 2wd 1986 range rby way of an axle flip. The problem I have is I am in the UK. I see the axle flip brackets are pretty basic and cheap to buy in the US but once you factor in shipping to the uk and import/tax it seems crazy money for two little...
  12. 87 Ranger Custom 4x2 No Factory Headliner?

    Funnily enough I was wondering the same, my 86 doesn't have any headliner either and like you doesn't look like it ever did.
  13. Bed Adjustement

    Perfect, I was hoping that was going to be the case
  14. Bed Adjustement

    Hi all, Recently picked up a 86 ranger single cab. One thing that really bugs me is the bed appears to be sightly offset to the passenger side. Is there any adjustement when mounting the bed in terms of front/back/left/right?
  15. Start of ranger overhaul - in the United kingdom

    Great wil take a look. It kinda felt like the handle was attached to something. Perhaps one side has come away. A small issue in the scheme of things. The cracked windshield is the biggest hassle I have at the moment.
  16. Start of ranger overhaul - in the United kingdom

    Ideal thanks. Will get some degreaser and give it a clean up, looks like it’s been leaking a good while as pitman arm and track rod is covered in pas fluid and dirt.
  17. Start of ranger overhaul - in the United kingdom

    Yes the uk 24v cosworth boa/Bob engine can be fitted but these are now getting harder to find. I am actually looking to go crate 302 v8 at some point but for now the v6 runs well and sounds nice with half the exhaust missing! One issue I do currently have is a pas leak, no idea where from as...
  18. Start of ranger overhaul - in the United kingdom

    Hi, yes parts will be tricky. Will end up costing me more in import taxes than parts! 7ft bed. I agree it looks long in the photos, not sure why.
