Here it is guys. 87' 4x4, extended cab, 2.9, and pretty much all stock. It needs U-joints really bad (front and back), a good tune up, and some basic cosmetic fixes. All and all, it's a pretty solid truck. I feel like a kid at Christmas right now I traded the 99 Taurus for it straight across. The cool part is, I got the Taurus for free, and only had $144. invested in parts. So basically I got the ranger for 144 bucks. Cant beat that!
My plans:
6" lift, cut the fenders, swap out the 7.5+D28 for the 8.8 and D35, switch over to manual hubs, and manual transfer case, make custom bumpers with winch mounts front and rear, snorkel, on-bored air compressor, and much much more.
It'll take time, and probably start off slow, due to funds and it being the holidays and such. With this years tax return, I'll buy the lift, and hopefully the axles and just do that all at once, while I'm under there.
I'll post up more pics very soon.
Tell me what you guys think. Any suggestions for the build?
Thanks!
