so wheres the pic of the new cab? I wanna see this four door ranger your talking about.

I'm gonna Monstaline the rocker panels, paint the fenders & grill black or dark grey and swap to 06+ style square mirrors.

Maybe someday swap to the newer style grill and headlights too since it is much easier than would have been on my 96

 

[dhkonrad]

are you going to swap the entire body, or just the cab?

Cab and bed. Will be 2000 body on. 1996 frame. Should be sick

 

[Kevery]

Thats a pritty clean ranger you have there.

 

[stiluv]

Do you have plans for the frame on the 2000?

Ill give you the frame and anything else you want. I'll for sure keep the tranny, maybe the motor and transfercase too but I don't need anything else.

Whatever you wanna give me for it is fine, would be better than cutting it up and sending it to scrap!

I've got a trailer too...

Boys, there is a traitor among us.

2004 Ford Ranger XL

Drivetrain:
3.0 V6, 5 speed manual transmission, 4x2
Truck has 132K on it, the 1st 3.0 developed a rod bearing issue and was swapped out. A rebuilt 3.0 was installed by Harold Ford of Sacramento in January of last year. Have all the documentation along with a huge folder filled with all the recipts, invoices, and original window sticker. Oil has been changed regularly, tranny fluid was recently flushed. I will try and get the power steering fluid and coolant flushed before sale. Smogs with ease.
A K&N drop in filter is the only modification on this motor and will come with the truck.
Hurst Short throw shifter, makes the truck shift quicker and smoother. Greatly improves the driving experience, it's a blast to drive. Also have the stock shifter assembly.
Freshly Rebuilt 8.8 with 4.56 gears and a limited slip. (perfect with 33s, this truck will clear them easy. Was waiting for the 32s to wear out before replacing). Has tons of power and retains ok mileage, but would be best with 33s.

Wheels and tires:
32x11.50R15 BFG All Terrains with good tread
15x7 Procomp Series 52 Steel wheels

Suspension Work:
Explorer Leaf springs out back with Custom Boxed Shackles, currently has a shackle flip with drop hangers but i may take that out prior to sale.
Up front I have a 3in. Spindle lift, a BTF extended Upper control arm with uniballs (best UCA for stock or lift spindles), 3in. Doestch Lift Coils, Beard Limit straps, Bosch upgraded rotors and pads with only a few thousand miles on them. Truck is strapped at 11in of travel, pretty much all you are going to get with this kit.

Other Accessories:
Custom bumpers front and rear, can replace with stock ones if desired
4.5in Fiberwerx Flared fenders (unpainted), also have stock fenders
Comes with an Innovation Color matched camper shell, great quality shell. Has a roof rack.
Custom Tire gate
Lockable Bed Box that works with or without the campershell.
Wired for Offroad Lights at the front bumper and on the camper shell roof rack. All sealed up on the shell, no leaks.

Interior:
Explorer Overhead Console
Explorer Autodim Mirror with auto headlamps
6x8 kenwood speakers
Sony Xplode Headunit with AUX, and Ipod/USB hookup.
12in Pioneer Pro Series Competition Sub, powered by a 1000W air cooled Kenwood Amp. Custom Box made for a ranger extended cab.
Has storage cubbies instead of jump seats

I have most of the stock parts, and a few more aftermarket parts that can or cannot go with the truck depending on offers and price.
I have a Camburg 5.5 setup for this truck, same travel numbers but a way better kit. Fabricated spindle and upper. ($1800 kit new)
Chevy 63in leaf springs

I know im forgetting stuff.. this truck is incredibly strong and drives amazing. Great little prerunner start. I wouldn't hesitate to take it on a cross country trip if I had the chance. This has been my baby for about 3 years now but its time to move on to another truck that's more suited to what I do now. Looking for $8.5K as is, considering we have about 5 grand alone in the motor swap, another few grand in suspension, rear axle and bumpers/fenders. All the parts included. Don't beafraid to shoot me any offer, with as many things as I can put back to stock (very quickly and very easily) we can work something out. May trade, looking for a late 80s and up toyora 4runner, maybe a subaru. Let me know what you have. Call or text with any questions, please no tire kickers. I have a busy schedule and will make time to meet with you. But please respect that, no flakes. located in sacramento, CA.

What kind of mileage are you getting Morg? I'm working in Elderado Hills now and am looking for a new daily, something that gets better than 15MPG.
Been thinking about an M3 but have also been toying with the idea of building a go fast baja truck.
Plus the BII doesn't like climbing the hill every morning.
.....I need to just get that 4.0 in it already.

 

[Rowdy Fitzgerald]

Ha ha ha!!! Morgan

 

[2004xlmiller]

toyora haha


shes been getting ok mileage, got 18mpgs with the 4.10s but its dropped a bit with the new gears. sure flys up that hill though! im sure if you stuck some 33x12.50s on it she'd be matched perfectly. def a cool start for a runner. and yes im wanting a 4runner or yota truck, time to build my own crawler and those are cheap, reliable, and easy to build.
