Hey folks, my name is Nick. Ive been using this website as a wonderful tool for about a year or so now. I drive a 89 ranger. 2.9 v6 5 spd lifted 11 inches, 8 susp 3 body, bit of a project. Got most of the bugs worked out of it now though. Anyway just thought I'd let ya guys know who I am

Like I said, a little bit of a project. But alot of fun. Sanding it down for paint in the morning, gonna paint it flat black with neon green pin stripes that trace the fender flares and stencil "Yota Killer" on the tail gate in the same color. will post more pics when paint is on haha. any questions just ask ill be glad to answer

I can see your trying to up load your pics from your email. Try saving the pics to your hard drive in you picture files, then up loading the pics to photobucket or another photo housing web page (Facebook works too), then copy and past the link from there insted. Welcome to the site BTW.

Its really not running at all at the moment lol. The rear axle is broken. I'm swapping an 8.8 in anyway so I guess it really didn't matter much. But I replaced the fuel filter (the one between the pumps!) and it ran a lot better. I saw you replaced the one after the fuel pump on the rail. I drove it up and down my street and then decided I need to fix the steering issue so I replaced it with moog tie rods and new steering arms. I got a new shifter and it shifts amazing and I replaced the ignition switch (surprisingly easy!)

All in all its been a good truck but i still don't have license plates and it just sits in my driveway lol. I'm waiting on a set of gears for the rear end then I'm installing a d35 for the front.

So what tires did you get anyway?

 

[89_Ranger]

I got a set of pro comps. I'll have to go take a pic real quick and upload it haha. How did you break the axel??

 

[89_Ranger]

Jhammel you cant see the pics of my ranger?

 

[Hagan]

Nice! I like procomps. Not sure how the axle broke. Actually broke in my driveway. I think one of the spider gears grenaded!

I dont see the pics. Which link did you use on photobucket?

 

[jhammel85]

No I can't. Maybe I'm being blocked at work! I'll be sure to check this out when I get home.
