Hey guys.

I don't get on here too often, but since I've been making nice with the Ranger lately, I figured I'd go ahead and share what I've been up to with
you guys.

Here's what it looked like when I bought it:



I've dubbed it the "Mountain Ranger."








It's a 1994 with 84,000 miles on it, a 98-02 front end, 95+ shell, 88 pushbar and the square-ass 88-94 interior.

Basically, when I started putting the Ranger together I only had a loose idea of what I wanted to do, I wanted to have a vehicle capable of light 2wd offroading that I could camp in that still looked decent.

I wanted a mountain-patrol kinda look to it, hence the "Mountain Ranger" was born.

I spent a grand for it, it's power NOTHING, I spend $20 for the brush guard, $180 for the shell, $60 for wheels/tires (yes sixty), and other than that I've had only a few minor issues-- all of which are cooling system related.

Also has new front brake calipers, new rear wheel ABS sensor, new brake pads, new Monroe Reflex shocks and a FRAM AirHog filter for my wheezy twinspark 2.3L.

So, yeah, comments welcome.

I'm debating between whether I'm going to add round or rectangular driving lights on the pushbar!
Thanks for the positive feedback :D

both look nice, but since your bar has a scuared design, mayre rectangulars are the way to go

Looks like you've got some good connections for cheap parts! I like the "Ranger 5-speed" emblem!
