My ranger build

[Fraser1989]

Hey guys,

I have been making my ranger into a but of a toy and figured I should post up some puctures and explane what is going on.

I bought a used 1996 2wd extneded cab ranger XLT with a 5 spped manual. A plain a boring truck but it has power windows locks and all that too so I was happy. It has 260 xxx KM on it.

Not bad but needed some fixing up and love.
First thing I did was take it too my shop and change the oil and air filter. Switced over to synthetic oil too.

So what was next? The truck had a 4.0 and 3.08 gears and that meant it was slow as hell but got more acceptable gas mileage but i think a 3.08 is too tall for the 4.0. So I swapped in a 3.73 with a L/S to help get around in the snow

.

The 3.73 was so much better than the 3.08 loved the swap. Also havin both rear tires gettinb traction helps a lot too.
Naturally

Will those 3.08 ring gear & pinion fit a 1989 Ranger 2WD--I'll buy the set from you!

The next step was taking off the topper. I put it in storage as I may need it one day but I don't really like the way it looks.

Then a nice set of tires. I put in a set of 30x9.5x15 Dynamic MT RT03 they are really nice so far.

Now I am putting on my 4 inch lift kit.

Air tools are always nice.
