definintally the 91

[RedNeck Glory]

i like the 91 4X4 with a good roll bar and brush guard what do u all think

 

[MikeWild]

Well I for one couldn't agree more!

 

[RedNeck Glory]

nice i like it but mine is a 91 ford ranger STX 4.0 5 speed

 

[metalmacguyver]

Thats a light bar, not a roll bar.

 

[RedNeck Glory]

where im from i indiana u cant keep light on them because of roll over so here there call roll bars because of the trails we dont just mud we do alot of off roading

That's a great looking truck and all, but I think it would look a lot better with smaller flares, or wider tires. I know you obviously like the skinnier tires so I'd say smaller flares. No offense, it just looks like it should have some reaaaaaally wide tires under it with those flares.

I couldn't agree more. The fronts fill out fairly nice, but the rear ranger 8.8 looks like poo. That's why I'm going to throw an 8.8 out of an aerostar under there, they're 28 spline (which works for my e-locker) and are a scootch wider than an exploder 8.8

How do you know it's not a roll bar, maybe it's reinforced and I notched the bed and have it welded directly to the frame?


but yeah, it's a light bar

probably a dumb question, but what's the difference with an STX and an XLT? I'm actually throwing a 4.0L & M5OD into the old gal this weekend.

 

[RedNeck Glory]

the xlt is a luxary with a crome pakeage and a STX has engine mods and built heavier and more power

 

[wahlstrom1]

Uhm, no engine mods with the STX package. An STX package could include many things, grilleguard, bumpers, light bar and decal package etc. If the STX came with the High rider option it got a leveling package from the factory. The only performance package that ever came on a ranger was the whipple on the 3.0L later on.

[pillen140]

whoa whoa whoa.... a whipple on a 3.0? from the factory? are are you screwing with me?

 

[wahlstrom1]

Ya, it was an option for 02-05 model years, but to my knowledge is no longer available.

What? In Illinois, we call those things light bars or bed bars, or old-fashioned. We can however put lights on them though, since that's their only real purpose. They wouldn't do much in the event of a rollover.

 

[OilPatch197]

In Southern Illinois we call them all roll bars. Because that is what they "simulate", we don't have that PC the Northerners do. Bed bars? Never heard that before.

IMO, a light bar is on a tow truck, a cop car, a rescue vehicle.
