Well, this is MACK. An 1987 ford ranger all stock with 2.9l 5 speed 4wd. MACK will be picking up a few things from this nice 94 ford explorer i picked up for free! :thefinger: Im pretty proud out it.. Ill be swapping the 4.0, front clip and fenders, hood, windshield wiper assembly, dash, seats, carpet, and center console. :yahoo: Ill be repainting the interior black with another color i have not chosen yet. (give me ideas please!) Im building a custom sub box that will hold 2 10's and will basically take up the whole rear but will still seat two. Not to the outside, the crease along the top will get filled in with bondo to match the explorer fenders. Then ill do a fresh coat of the undercoating the PO started but never finished then maybe top it with a white or black. Axels; Ill be swapping over the dana 35 and 8.8 from the ranger for now and hopefully a 6" lift with trimmed fenders and 35's. In the future i plan on a leaf sprung shortened dana 44 SAS, front and rear lockers, all that good jazz. I will be putting a front bumper from a jeep xj and some home made rear bumper that was at my house when i moved in ill just need to cut it down a bit. For now i will be running a fm145 tranny untill i can pick up a good cheap m50d or a4ld. Either or, i dont care. But i wont be doing any engine mods until i upgrade my tranny. Pics below!! :icon_cheers:
 
Thanks! Im looking forward to getting it done!
 
Well yesterday i got the interior and fenders and a bunch of other stuff torn apart, ill post more info and picks tomorrow. Today i helped my neighbor put my old 2.9 in his pickup, even did an upgrade! A cold air intake "as cold as the rockies!" :icon_rofl: :icon_cheers:
