[mn_smokeater]

Heres what im starting with:

needs some work putting together the plans still though.

starting up this so stay tuned

 

[Ranger Sport Honduras]

first of all, clean that sob lol. once its clean ull be gettin ideas, but i strongly suggest you to lift it and get some at or mt tires

 

[mn_smokeater]

yeah it will be bathed soon.

on tires... yeah all 4 are missmatched sizes and brands. a fellow TRSer has some good tires but they are 15in and i have 14s so i have to source some rims.

another big thing is going to stop the rust spread and fix the holes.

one direction i want to go is semi/steet offroad 2wd

Yeah, they're a good deal new, but if you're on a budget... have you tried finding some crappy tires on craigslist with Ranger or Exploder Rims?

Even if the tires are bald, if you're getting different tires it wouldn't matter anyway.

Too bad you aren't looking for old F150 stuff, my cousin lives in Fertile and has 7 F150's...

Those are the same rims Im looking at getting for my truck, hate to think what shipping is going to be though.

My thoughts on the truck......

Either a TC 2.3, a v-8 swap of some kind, diesel swap, or if you really get a wild hair, convert her to 4wd with the above engine swaps along with it. A pre-runner is always an option too.
