Awesome work on that bumper

 

[Boggin]

thanks man

took the ranger out today, i tihnk the engine is on its last straw. i finally got her running after trying her for several hours last night. so today i got my dad to pour some gas down the intake tube while i turned her over and she started but man it was horrible. the only way she would stay going is if i kept her right on the mat and full throttle and even then she would stay at 1500rpm. then she would die down and go to 2000, then die down and go to 2300. then i let her idle and she would shut off a couple times and the engine was knocking very very very loud every so often. but after probably 15 minutes she was working ok and then i was beating on her and running her through snowbanks up past the bumper and just giving her a good going over, then she shut off when i tried to throw her back in reverse or park but i still managed to get around. i think im gonna change the plugs that should make her a bit better

and im still rocking the ranger lol shes the rig for beating around the snow in.. today i was pushing snow banks with the bumper over 2 feet high, i can believe how good this thing is in snow, dad couldnt even believe it lol it was all fun til i broke the beat on a tire and had to throw the spare on in the dark and -20 and 2 feet of snow lol

im wondering if a 3" body lift will be too much to add with the 6" suspension and 33s..
