What’s up y’all, I was on this forum as a dumb teenager, had my original Ranger as the example pic for a DJM 4/5 drop in the tech section for a LONG TIME. And I got halfway through a 5.0 swap and lost my place to work on the truck suddenly and didn’t have a way to keep it

I’m currently turning a couple of junkyard destined turds into a single polished turd that will eventually resemble what a Ranger ST could have been in the mid-00’s

Glad to be back, I don’t know what took me so long to get another favorite truck I’ve ever had

That looks like some serious turd polishing is in your future.

Biggest goal should just be have some fun while polishing.

I’ve been having fun so far. It’s a lot less stressful wrenching on something you don’t need to make it to work with and you’ve only thrown beater with a heater money at
 
Welcome back.

Sounds like a fun project.

Thanks! I’ve been planning the “what if I did another Ranger?” build for years. I’ve got a 2.5 Duratec to go in this winter but I’m just getting it running, manual swapped, and lowered for now
