Hello from SoCal!

Hello all,

new to the forum. i am from redlands, near san bernardino in so cal! just picked this bad boy up:
95 Ford Ranger
-177k
-4.0
-5sp
-4x4

1800$

this was my previous ride:

but i find myself in the desert wanting to go fast more than i do on trails crawling, hence the switch to a ranger from the XJ

Future plans are:

D44 TTbs
extended radius arms
coilovers
off-axle 4 link
9"
4.56s
locker out back
camper shell

let me know what you guys think! thanks in advance!

David

Welcome. Ha! I beat that jackass Mark_88 to the punch.

I'm digging the XJ.

Looking forward to the build. That 4.0 will like the 4.56's, running 35"s?

Going full width on the D44 TTB? You could stick with the 35 and run D44 Knuckles....

going to be going full width, for a little bit better track width, had a buddy who made 20" travel with them and still had functioning 4x4. i am going to stay with 33" for now, untill they become a problem. hoping to have it all done by next years baja1000, i will have a friend attempting to race, and he will need a few chase trucks.
the jeep was cool, but it always bothered me having a unibody vehicle, and i feel that TTBs will fit my application better.

Sounds like you've got it all covered. Lets see some build pics.

I have a few things i need to sell so i can have some capital to fund the new project. this could end up being a slow project haha.
