Well, i couldent find the last 31" in the junkyard... But i found a full set of 30"s! :p and the shifter is a random one i pulled out of a random civic to replace the one that was ductaped on. the tires are being mounted as i type this. there gunna call me when they're done, They're a bit weather cracked but they'll do until i can buy a nice set of General grabbers ;D also, 2 more days and i'll be on the road. taking my road test at 9;30am and i'll be getting my insurance then to... only $970 a year :D

Well, never got my tires today :C Shop said they would call me when they were mounted... but didnt. I may just try to find a better set on kijiji and have them mounted at school... idk, also who makes a nice cam for the Sohc 4.0? something to give it a lumpy idle..

Got a rollbar for sniper today, also painted the slots in the rims black, grille black, and did a oilchange, and tire rotation. Will try to get pics since i found my camera!... now i just gotta find batteries. Also I'm living on my own now, so funds are tight for mods n stuff.

Hey guys, just thought i'd update ya's. Sniper is being sold. [yes im getting rid of another one. ] Due to the fact i cant feed the hungry 4.0 the 4:10 gears aint helping either.... Recent upgrades are; 30" AT's on Centerline style 90's ranger rims. And it had new swaybar links, pads,rotors,exhaust tidy'ed up, and was washed. I have a few guys interested in it now. Hoping to get $6000 for it.. due to the fact that its rust free. And around here its hard to keep a truck rust free!
Most recent pics;






But once i sell it i got my eyes on this little 88 2wd ext Cab ranger... 2.9L V6 $1500 But i can probually beat them down to $1200... .then with the money left over, i plan to buy a Camburg performance offroad kit, and some other nick nacks... Plus the 1st gen bodystyle looks sick :p

Oh and for those of you who dont know, i recently bought a 1990 Ranger to turn into a full on wheeler. Paid $400 for it. Used it for 2 weeks around town and in the woods. in that 2 weeks damages were; Lost the muffler,Lost a wheel going down the road doing 60kmh thus destroying the rotor which in turn, destroyed the brake pads on that side, The front part of the bed cracked, so the bed sits over towards the passenger side, and I broke a brake line, and lost all brakes! yay so thats sitting behind my old house now.
Pics of it;

hey guys, thought i'd give yas a update. Sniper is in the shop at my school now with the rear-end taken apart. getting new seals, brakes,spring kit, and it also needs new spider gears?.. its what my shop teacher told me. theres a bunch of play in them and such... and i've decided not to sell sniper, as i've put over $500 into it so far... and i know i wont get my money back.. so i'll just keep it and try to get by with its amazing 14mpg :annoyed: but next thursday im looking at buying another truck.. something i can have as aback up.. Choices are; 1979 Chevy C10, or a 1991 Chevy Silverado K1500. the 1988 Ranger was sold... so im going to the next best thing in my crosshairs lol. also, what are some mods i could do to perk up snipers mpg?... I plan on gutting the cat, and putting on my cherry bomb glasspack, which i bought for it like.. a month ago? lol. I'll try to find my camera and get pics tomoro.
