Hi, not done this forum thing before, will take time to figure out stuff. need to ask about planned refit of Rngr, excab, 4x, 4.0. Start with brake conversion to disk, I see lots of stuff but I dont need a whole rear end just the brakes swap, is there a distilled artical or done project written up?

To follow is step bed conversion to tanker duty, bed lining to wood staves(old school) driveline upgrades for tow/carry duty over mountains, and some goodies-audio, phone, variable load springs, task built ladder bar, battery move to rear, and lighting convert to led. Miss anything, probably.

But for now I need to get through the disk conversion without a swap out if possible. And I read conflicting reports about master cylinder upgrades; some say a change is required, some say maybe(?), and some say none is required. Is there a commercial source doing these swaps in PACNORWEST?

Thanks
 
Welcome to the site. You will find lots of information here. The tech library (the link is near the top of every page) has quite a bit, and there may even be answers to your disc brake upgrade questions. I haven't personally done a rear disc brake upgrade but plan to swap to an Explorer rear axle in the future and was planning to use my current master cylinder since it's only a couple years old. I've read other people not having to upgrade and having no issues with it.

There's also a search function on the website that works pretty well. You can use it to search the whole site or just a selected subforum. We have subforums that cover most of the projects you are doing to your Ranger.

Good luck!
 
I read an article that was real good on what you want it's here.This is a good place to learn the ropes on using threads I learned here.The people are nice here everyone likes it when you research first then ask once you know the ropes.
