Just picks up a running and driving Exploder for $300 today. Plans are to make it how the Ranger was before the SAS. Im gonna do leveling springs and my home made 1" BL. Cut the fenders and run the 33s. Should come out good. Dont laugh, the running boards are coming off tomorrow and some 235s are going on tomorrow. It is loaded though, power everything, leather all the good stuff.

Well here it is with the 215s off and 235s on. I changed the oil today and screwd with the tranny a little. It drives great but leaks tranny fluid. The tranny will be getting rebuilt this week though. I also found a few vacuume lines that werent hooked up, one was for the fuel pressure regulator lol. Got that stuff all squared away and it runs great. I also made sure the 4wd works ok and to my surprise it works perfect. Hi and Lo go right in, I will pack the wheel bearings once the tranny is all done. Then its time for a 3"BL, leveling springs and the 33s.
