my 95 ranger xlt..

[eduardo95]

I made a visit to the local junkyard and found this for $25..

Brought it home and gave it a good sanding and threw some paint on it.

After a couple of hours trying to level it and making it fit this is how it looks.

Sits a bit higher than the cab but it aint that big of a deal.

And i got these today, just waiting for the coil spacers i ordered and the new tires to go get them on the truck. Cragar soft 8 15x8

looks good man!
now get some fog lights on the valance and rollbar

nice rims. u sure thats the correct bolt pattern? seems like the center hole is bigger than the Ranger pattern.

 

[eduardo95]

yeah 5x4.5. Ill check tomorrow morning if they fit, if not then i can still return them and get the right ones.

Just a little update on some things ive done to the truck the last two weeks. Not much stuff going.

Thursday night i decided to hit a mud hole and test the truck since around here i really dont have many places to go and play around in the mud but since its been raining for three days straight i found a parking lot with some mud and i decided to have some fun.

Having done that with bald tires was not a good idea. lol.!!

As you can see i added some window visors, painted both bumpers on black since they had some rust on them.

What really pisses me off is that i broke my valence that night and i had ordered some fog lights and arrived friday morning so i tried them on the roll bar but since they are 5 inches i believe they look a bit too small..

What do you guys think about the lights.? should i go with 6 inches for the roll bar.??

Oh and im waiting for my new 31 m/ts that should be getting here sometime around next week, and they'll be wrapping some 15x8 cragar soft 8s and 2007 side mirrors.!! And swapping my axle with another 7.5 with 4.10 gear ratio.!!

great news!!!!!
shame u broke the valance LOL
thats the fun on off roading. my fog lights are rock chipped and one has enough water to make a cup of coffee hahahahahaha

id go with atleast 6" lights for the bar.

I think you should fix that valance, get some brackets, and install those procomp 55's in the fog valance. I'm running them there and they are amazing. You wont like them running on the rollbar IMO, they are fluted and much better suited as a fog light than a long-range driving light. So install those procomp 55s as fogs and get some 6" long range lights for the rollbar. And I think you need more than 2 up there

The roll bar is suppose to be a tad taller than the cab to help prevent damage in case of roll over here's how mine sat.

 

[eduardo95]

I tried fixing it but it was useless so i went on ebay and found one for $25 so its ordered.. And those procomps will go with the valence and i will install three on the roll bar and im thinking at least 6 cause the 5" look a bit small..

 

[rkneeshaw]

Yep, do 6" up there. Keep us updated with pics!

 

[eduardo95]

yeah ill order them this week and theres more stuff coming so ill keep ya posted

 

[eduardo95]

little update on the tuck.. I finally got the mirrors on the truck and the lights on the roll bar and here is the result.. I just have to align the middle light with the ones on the sides since it sits a bit lower..

 

[eduardo95]

Tires should arrive next week and coil spacers as well. Front bumper valence should get here tomorrow saturday and just need some brackets for my fog lights and i should be good for now.

 

[Ranger Sport Honduras]

[Ranger Sport Honduras]

[eduardo95]
