Hello from Iowa

[ambivolent]

hello everyone figured id chime in and tell you a little about myself and my ranger.

well first ill talk about my ranger i have an '03 supercab EDGE 2WD with a flex fuel 3.0 and 4.10 8.8 rear end practically stock except i took out the rear jump seats to add a custom speaker box that was given to me it fits 4 12's but im only running 2 MTX road thunders at the moment and a MTX 250 watt amp its loud enough for me.
my future plans include rear locker, T-bar crank, 32" tires, new front bumper with winch and a camper shell ive got a search and rescue theme in mind for it nothing too fancy just try to make it as functional as i can since i like to do some mild off roading this is my second ranger my first one was an 84 reg cab long bed with custom front and rear bumpers that my pops made out of schedule 80 pipe roll bar(functional) a few inches of lift and a rad tops hard top convertible conversion done in 1992

as for myself i like to do a few of things and that's work on my truck/cars/motorcycles and build guns/ target shoot i currently dug a 29 ford truck chassis and front cowl out of a creek last summer its going on the project list still not sure what direction im gonna go with it but thats enough for now its picture time

yea real long, i actually think it was used around my girlfriends family farm as a tractor i know they used to convert old cars into tractors by putting a 1 ton rear end under them (which this one has) and cutting all body panels off except for the cowel and called em "doodle bugs"

You got a gas can there. Figuring on givin' her a splash as gas and seeing if she'll crank, eh.

Welcome. I used to live in Iowa. I left and it's only taken about 25 years of therapy to deal with it. But sometimes I can still hear the choppers overhead and screams and pops of tassels.

Never heard of the tractor conversion but thats cool. What fer cylinder motor is that? Its way before my time so I'm curious as to what them old cars had under the hood.
