Hey guys, name is Daniel. New to the Forum. Finally joined after getting tons of advice and help from all of you as I recently picked up and started working on my 1987 Ranger. 2wd with the 2.9L, 5 speed manual, and only 158,000 miles. Single cab with the 7ft bed.

Good on. Take care of that 2.9, and it'll take care of you.

Since I’m still new to the Forum. I have questions about my build and what I’m doing and what not. Where would I post that to get the most out of the post?

My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
Best thing is to start a build thread and keep most of your questions and progress documented there. Its helpful to have all your stuff in one place.

Pick an appropriate area in the area shown in this screen shot.
