build

I recently picked up an 83 4x4 long bed that's in pretty good shape but has a bad motor. This thread will serve to document my progress as I slowly put her back together. I had another 83 a few years ago. I really loved that truck, but sadly severe frame rust did it in. Ever...

My Grandpa left his ranger to me. Sat a couple years, I got it running and am almost finished with the body work. Last he drove it he hit a bank, he doesn't like banks so not a bad last ride. He moved from Mexico way back in the day and since I was a child he always rocked a Ford Ranger. The...

Looking for any advice on a build I'm looking to do. My rangers stock 4.0 is getting pretty worn out at almost 250k miles. I'm looking to get a junkyard engine and rebuild it in my spare time (I work a full time job as a engine machinist so i have access to the equipment) I'm mainly looking to...

OK! I'm new here, and new to the ranger/ford scene. Usually a GM person, but I do have a soft spot for early '90's and older Ford Pickups, so please be a dick if you must, but lets not drag on shall we. This is my 1990 2.3L Lima. Has the 5spd, no 4wd. Are the steps on the side factory/an extra...

Hey all, I stumbled across these (2) videos that I thought you would find interesting. It's not the 2019 Ford Ranger, but the 2019 is built on this platform, so the same basically applies. Enjoy! :popcorn: YaQ5Ehx5gYE XlLgoIDa2Hw

Hey everyone! This is my 1997 Ranger XL with the 3.0, 5 speed manual and 4wd, and a 7' bed. This truck is my daily driver, so this isn't going to be so much of a build thread per se, but I will be doing some light modifications and thought it might be cool to document my process! These...

Just figured I would make a thread here for all the interior mods I plan on doing to both get some advice / find out where to get stuff at and to show people what I'm doing to my ranger. As of right now nothing much has been done to it. And I have no pics right now, can get those tomorrow. I...
