New to the Ranger Station

[89XLT4x4]

Hello everyone. Glad to join the forum and enjoy the great conversation. I recently acquired a 1989 XLT project and have found a lot of useful information on this forum. It has a six inch lift and 35 inch tires, along with an early 70’s 302 with a five speed. It is a good start and I have plans for an 8.8 swap for the rear axle soon.
I have had many Fords in the past but this is the first Ranger. No serious off road work planned, just looking to have a good looking and capable machine for the occasional trail and dunes.

Thanks for the welcome everyone. Lots of things left to fix and modify on my project so I look forward to your input in the future.

Welcome to the forum! I agree, that's really a cool truck. What specific tires are you using? I'm planning to buy a set, I'm currently looking for ideas.

Thanks. They are 35 x 12.5 x 15 Maxxis RAZR MT. They don’t howl much at speed on the road and were the only on/off road tire I found that carried a 40k mile warranty.
