My ride. 97 ranger 2.3t

[robmedina]

Yeah, but I will actually buy a water/meth kit before a tonneau cover, but it is in my plans for this summer

The wheels you see on the truck are for sale... New set is going to look pretty bad with the new drop, gonna be hella flush I also decided to remove the stickers. In less than 2 months the truck is back on the road

Let me know if you wind up selling them nerf bars.

Little update here. Tested the fitment of the new wheels on the truck... And I'm running into a little problem, nothing too bad, wheel is only sticking ou by like 1.5 inch of the front fenders... Didnt try the rear yet but will be around 2.5 inch out I think... Seems like I will be widening the front fenders and pulling bedsides on rear by 2.5-3 inch out.

Heres what I'm talking about, wheel is jacked on this one but when on the ground with camber its a little less but still...

New dump pipe and reinforced exhaust manifold

What do your fenders measure from the ground? Doesn't really look like 6/9...

 

[beluga420]

I don't know fender height, I will measure this weekend when I'm going to my garage. You can't really notice the drop in those 2 pictures, just a bad angle to see it.

 

[Bwad]

Well what did you do to get the 9" drop in the rear?

I hope you have a step notch.

 

[beluga420]

I do have a C-notch, I have a 8.8 diff which people claim to be 5 inch drop. Plus belltech 4'' drop hangers kit. Not exactly sure it's really 5 inch for the diff tho, seems more like 4 inch maybe. Up front I have DJM 3'' beams and 3'' drop coils...

What have you done to your truck, it looks good from the picture, any thread or more pictures? I'd like to take a look !

 

[beluga420]

24'' front fenders and 26 rear. Pulled bedsides today, looks sick

 

[beluga420]

Doesn't anybody knows stock fender height on these trucks? wanna know if thats really 6/9.. For front i'm pretty sure but rear not at all.. Can't compare to my b2300 since it's sitting 27 1/2 with worn coils and 37 1/2 rear.

Got a dyno sheet? I friend of mine bought him a boat with a 2.3 ford engine in it. I told hime he needs to turbo it.

 

[beluga420]

No dyno sheets yet, will go on dyno this summer.

Truck is back on the road. Looking more badass than ever.

How can I particiate to the TOTM contest? Any one that feels like nominating me don't hesitate!

The truck

And a happy owner.

[beluga420]
