Aerostars

[EMB1230]

They are Ranger-based too, how come there is no section for them? I've never had one, but a friend did: a '89 Cargo w/ Manual trans.

They aren't as popular, have a lot of unique parts, and don't really share any body panels with the rest of the vehicles.


They are the red-headed step-child of the RBV family.

I know, from what I can see, the only thing they have in common with Rangers/ Bronco 2's and Exploders are the engines and transmissions. But GM's Astro/Blazer/S-10 did share dashboards and Instrument clusters.

there used to be an aerostar section on TRS years ago.... i dont remember exactly when it went away but i think it was when there were server issues and we had to start from scratch. it would be kinda neat to see one again though, i'd rock an aerostar if i found the right one!

if i could find one that didnt have the body rotted away with a manual trans, id consider one. ive only ever seen 2 with the manual trans though, and many,many with rust. i do have areostar spec drums on the rear of my ranger though.

the areostar drums are heavier and have finns which dissapate heat, i'll go look for a pic i have that shows the two drums side by side. no real improvement in braking performance, but does resist fade and warpage alot better than the standard ranger drums. on edit: pics, the bigger drum is the areostar spec drum, the smaller-looking one is the stock ranger drum, both have the same inside diamater. approx $50 per drum at autozone.

Aerostar drums are finned for better cooling.
