Picked this up about a year ago and been slowly finding time to work on it. You know how the story goes… always working on someone else’s project and my stuff hits the back burner!
Found time and here it starts … yes I know I have a lot of projects but I like to think of it as organized chaos lol
I bought this truck with the engine in the bed. The rear timing cassette broke in 2 pieces. Took a little searching, but I found a 4.0 for it with somewhat low miles (120k)
Time to get her up and running!
She needs a bit of love but only has 60k miles and a rebuilt rear axle (disc brake)
The ball joints, tie rods, CV axles, hub/bearing assemblies, etc….
It does have full skid plates and plate steel bumpers with a swinging spare tire carrier.
Probably the newest / nicest rangers I’ve ever owned for sure. My son has the 05 with the chrome shifters and I have this one to “match” with him.
After I get it running and driving, I am probably going to look into reducing the body lift to 2 inches, and putting a super lift on it. For now I just want to hear it run for the first time since I’ve owned it.
