ok ill start with what has happened with my ranger over the last two years. i bought the vehicle in october of 2013. pre owned 1995 2wd 2.3 auto, reg cab short bed ford ranger. when i bought it the transmission failed and caused me to work on it. well because of financial issues the transmission i replaced it with was preowned and lasted until august of 2014. at this point i found another transmission that was rebuilt not long ago with like no miles, but it was 4x4. so instead of continuing to search i used this transmission along with a borg warner 1350 manual transfer out of a bronco ii to get me back on the road. i now have 1.5 inch coil spring spacers and 2.5 in leaf spring blocks in the rear with a set of 265/75/r16 michelin ltx a/t tires i picked up from a friends explorer after he went to 33's. i love this truck and with only having a 4 cylinder it has kept me out of alot of trouble. but, i only use it for daily driving and in the winter, here in oklahoma, i end up in the ditch about every night. i love my truck and want to keep it but i need options for winter traveling.
should i do a 4wd conversion the rest of the way or could i manage better in 2wd? most of the people i know with 4wd never use it so im asking how to make my turck more winter capable/
