Koty's 91 Ranger Build Thread

[xkotyx]

today i flushed my radiator and changed my antifreeze. plus i was talking to the guy about getting a trailer to haul off the f150 and he gave me this!

its great! hooks right on the tire and gives me about a foot of height as it is and you can adjust it for more height and the width of your tire!
i think he said the tires on his chevy are too big for it to grip on safely. i dont know why he didnt want it for his ford though

i keep meaning to make those for my truck... but i think theyre gonna have to be ajustable because im going from 33s to 38s

i had never seen one before! but its neat, as you can see ive already got to play with it. even though i didnt need it for what i was doing lol

 

[kris97ranger]

lol yea im the same way. i got my winch working right the other day and only had 2 wheel drive and wanted to go get stuck so i could use the winch

 

[xkotyx]

today we loaded the f150 on a trailer and hauled it to his house. got the rear end, driveshaft and tires pulled. we'll finish getting the front out in the morning.

on a second note since its gonna be scrapped, we tried to blow it up haha. we held it wide open low on oil and with bad bearings for about 30 seconds. then it just bogged down and died haha. i think we're gonna try to start it again tomorrow

 

[xkotyx]

got everything i need out. gonna bring it back to my house tomorrow. then ill try to powerwash everything in the next week. its all caked in mud

not those ones, my friend helping me doing the swap is getting those. theyre 33x15.5. i think im gonna do some trading with him and end up with his 38.5 swampers off of his yota on ford and chevy axles. as long as he brings it here. he keeps it in colorado so im hoping he'll bring it down
