Hi. New here!

This may not be the best place to post this, but I don't know where else to post this. I'm kind of new to the forum thing so if this isn't the right place let me know and I'll move this. But with that being said I have a 1999 Ranger XLT 3.0 and I really like my truck. I've had it for about two years and have recently decided to mod it. I've been into cars my whole life and have what I would consider a more than average knowledge about them. However with that being said I've never modified my own vehicles it's always been a friend or family members vehicles. But with all of my rambling out of the way I really want to build my ranger into a drift truck. I think it would be really fun and its something that I really want to get into. I just don't really know where to start with the build. So I was curious if anyone could point me towards some articles or have any advice when it comes to ( Rear axle swaps, Motor swaps, Suspension, Transmission, Weight Reduction, Fuel system ) would be greatly appreciated. Great to find a forum for this platform, Thanks in advance!

I should also Point out the parts I have sort of picked out don't know if you guys have any better alternatives. For suspension I've found the DJM 4/5 Kit ( The Full Kit ), Planned on 5.0 swapping w/ Manual if at all possible, Bilstein Struts, and An Explorer 8.8 Rear End with Discs.
