Baja Noobie
New Member
Hey all, im fairly new to this forum so i wanted to start be saying hello.
Now for the good part. I have recently been bitten by the baja bug, and now im starting a long term build on my 1998 ranger, 4.0 ohv.
i have lists of questions for anyone with experience, but i want to start with the basics.
First, the motor. I already have k&n cold air, but i no that the OHV motor doesnt even push 200 hp. One of my contacts at camburg instructed me to mess with cams and chips, any other ideas or thoughts on this?
Secondly, suspension.
I no that most pre runners opt for a possy traction 2wd set up, yet my truck is a 4x4. Would you recommend stripping the 4x4 for weight issues, or going with the dixon bros 4x4 long travel kit?
As far as the back goes, 3 link is obviously my dream, but very pricey, and 4 links bind to much under small trucks. So would deavers with some 16" coil overs work well?
Any hints are great, like i said, im new to this.
