like my post title id like to say hi all and introduce myself im jonesy and i recently purchased my ranger been interested in em for a long time finally got one and its all i have been looking for since i live in northern missouri and i have grown up in missouri i know our winters can be either mild or wild well since i live now in northern mo i decided i wanted a 4x4 i have got along for the most part with front drive cars and the f150 i still own which is 2wd but its getting short on years bein a reliable daily driver and its not stock it has an 86 mustang short block factory forged pistons and all with a frpp b303 cam and e7te heads and a mass air conversion i built the engine and all but the ranger provides more interior space bein a s/c and its 4x4 i like that its my first 4x4 and the 4x4 doesnt work as of yet but the ranger station has helped me alot in the researvh to make my ranger the best it can be i have so many upgrades planned and ill track my progress as it comes as it comes ill give a link to my youtube channel u can see the ranger and please comment rate and subscribe thank alot

ok so i thought i give just a lil update to the ranger. As its in need of a transmission it has taken up space in my rented car port. But that doesnt mean i can find the weak links and nice upgrades here on trs to help me make it a good reliable daily driver. so just a quick update i have found a one piece driveshaft and purchased it i just ordered a zoom clutch kit. Still waitin for my income tax refund check to purchase a transmission as i dont want to drain my savings account hahahaha. but anyhow just thought id let ya'll know where im at and i cant wait to be driving the ranger its alot more comfy than my reg cab f150. and i like that the ranger is 4x4 but i think thats also gonna be something that will become a problem for me. cause i have a hard time not modifying everything i cant seem to leave well enough alone. so since its my first 4x4 ill have a hard time not lifting it and wanting to take it out on trail rides and such. so i think since the f150 will be a play toy it might go under massive changes. anyhow stay tuned and ill let u know how a $500 ranger turns into a high mileage daily driver.
Ok so update on the Resurrection Ranger finally found a transmission yay!! got an exhaust built for it kinda fabbed it up myself it used 2 b series Cummins air comp block off plates and a 2 /12" pipe from o'rielliys with a stainless jba muffler. Just check my youtube channel i usually update there I'm still gathering parts though gonna get a fly wheel, rear main seal, and ,replace all the hydraulic clutch components then she should be good to go as a far as driving every day but, still gonna fix the 4x4 before winter.
