Hello, just want to say hi, as I will be lurking the forum for some turbo swap info. I recently bought this 91 reg cab 2wd, and cant wait to get some more power under the hood! Its a 4cyl 5spd currently, and it has 52k origional miles, and is tottaly rust free, as it was in texas untill about 2 years ago. Its got a ton of suspension work done to it, and it only needs to be lowered for that side of the truck to be finished. I have an 86 merkur XR4TI with a 5 spd to use as a donor for my turbo swap. I just re-did the head on the merkur, so its fresh and ready for the ranger.

Thanks in advance for all the help and info! I look forward to my build and sharing it with you guys.

Brian

Its got a small kicker sub with a 200w amp, a pair of tweets up on the rear window, and some pioneer speakers in the doors. I sold the previous owner my old cobra rims, and he put them on the truck, and bought the truck shortly after that.

Yea, she will be in the barn at my wifes parents house in the next couple of weeks. Definatly not a winter truck, espically with thouse wheels and tires, lol. And working at a Ford dealership for amost 5 years, ive seen the rear shackles come out of parts like hot cakes up here.

I live less than 1/2 mile from DD's lol.

Got my splash ranger locking 3.73 rear end in there now, so snow would be even more fun!
