Hey guys! first post on the ranger station! Let me tell yea alittle bit about what I have! I bought a 97 ranger 2.3 single cab 5 speed standard step side 2wd 15 years ago! First month of owning it I stripped it down replaced all the under carriage rad support fenders a few odd and ends and sanded it down primed it and pushed it in my garage and never looked at it no more till now! Few of my buddys got rock crawlers and got me thinking of making one! So I'm gonna use this ford ranger! I don't really care about time or money iv owned the truck for 15 years and I'm not giving up on it so Easley lol!
List of parts I have :
Xj axle
5.5 inch lift coils and shocks
Ram and hoses for hydro steer ( still looking for orbital steering valve )
Tubing for 4 Link
My main question is and it's a frequently asked question I know... lol I'm wondering is there a transfer case that will bolt up to my transmission F67A I know i have to take my tail end off if so, but will I need a adapter of some short OR do I have to buy a 4x4 5 transmission with a transfer case already attached (I hope) out of another 2.3?
