My 1995 ranger "Lizzy"

[Funnyman141]

I figured I would finally post up my new ranger

1995 Ford Ranger Supercab
4.0 OHV
M5OD
1354E (not working right now )
D35, 8.8

When I was working on her front axle

After I got her done and back outside

P.O. custom smashed bumper

rust, tree damage, and a bent bumper all P.O.s' work

A goody I have to modify before I can put it on (91 Baja s-10 parts-free)

Another goody from the baja

I plan on getting a James Duff stage 3 lift for it along with a 2" body lift and other things along the way.

Sorry for the craptastic pictures, All i had was my cell

Nice. Keep up the good work.

looks like a nice solid start, can't wait to see the progress..

Got a cut down full-size rollbar from Beef, this is it installed.
the lights are off of the baja's rollbar

it needs painted but I figured I would wait to do that, and I'm impatient lol

I've also ordered a set of 30/9.50R15 Pumas for her too, the Wild Country RVT's aren't doing so well. great tires though, did great for being bald lol

Went in to O'reilly's to pick up some wipers and my friend said "follow me" I followed him to the back and he got out a set of bed rail, and tailgate bush wacker caps, he said that these have been sitting here for about a year and if I wanted them, i asked how much and he said 5 bucks, well needless to say I got them. lol there is quite a bit of stuff back there, its all stuff people brought back, or didn't pick up. I think that I might just check the other auto parts stores around town never know what somebody ordered and is just sitting back there taking up space. might be a good idea to check with your auto parts stores
I might also be getting fender flares for a 04-08 F-150, I gotta see how they look on liz first, and to see if I can use them after I cut the fenders
I've also picked up a brush guard that will be going on whenever I get a "new" front bumper, old on is a little bent up.

Well Liz has been in the shop since the 19th getting the front u-joints, and seals done, they also found a frozen bearing for the passenger side stub shaft thats been eating away at the shaft. I would be out there helping but I have no ride out there and I'm itching to get her back into my hands lol. I've been looking through my parts pile for her to figure what else I need to get, and what to start on. I figured that I would post what I have , a 93 4.0 out of an explorer that needs rebuilt (the motor shes running now has no compression on the 5th cylinder), m5od trans (Liz growls in 3rd and 5th) a spare 1354E transfer case (I need the TCSM to get her out of 4x4) a brush guard that needs a little paint, bushwacker bedrails, a couple cans of primer and paint. All I need now is room to work, some money, and my truck back.

Today I picked up a BW1354M with the shifter assembly for $125!
Can't wait to get my truck back to tear it apart lol

 

[Ranger Sport Honduras]

nice progress. post some pics when u get a chance.

 

[Funnyman141]

Lol, will do when I get my truck back, otherwise I'll just take pics of the pile of parts needing to go in liz.

 

[Funnyman141]

Well a person came to me with a built up bronco II 2.9 with a cracked block and he is wanting to sell the motor for 200, I was wondering if the cam and the upper Tom Morana 2.9 intake would fit on a 4.0 along with the rocker arms since he said that it has the free floating rocker arm mod done to them.

 

[Funnyman141]

Well, $741.38 and a month later I finally get my truck back!

Now i need to convince my parents to let me borrow the garage so I can tear my truck back apart.

 

[Ranger Sport Honduras]

Great!

 

[Funnyman141]

On my lunch break I figured I would let you guys know that I have one bolt holding the old transfer case onto the transmission and I also picked up some U-joint U-bolts to replace the straps on the D35, I guess I should start tearing the interior apart to cut a hole in the floor for the new shifter.

 

[Funnyman141]

Shes done and she works! and I also cleaned out her interior a bit too (its amazing what a truck cab can hide lol )
and of course the pics

The heater lol

I ditched the plate after messing it up trying to make a spot for the 4x4 shifter.

The POS old 1354E case, good riddance

And the only sad thing

I lost my cupholders!


lol

now I just need two almost new 30/9.50R15s so I can use 4x4

Since its been raining most of the day today I decided to go out and play in a couple "flooded" gravel roads with a few friends, Liz did suck up a little bit of water, and probably a good bit of mud too so a snorkel has been kicked up the list a couple spots, along with a note saying "don't follow the dodge"
will post pics of the aftermath if it doesn't wash off.
