Project Exploding Ranger

Screw that idea. My truck isn't worth 4 bucks let alone 4 grand.

haha. Just build it yourself. EscortGTS (i think that's his SN) built a setup for a jeep axle on his ranger. Check it out

Just a update, here is the donor for the Dana 30 and the rims/tires.

A slightly different kind of update. My truck has been running like crap for the last week or so. Stalling out every time I slow down or get off the gas. I thought it was the fuel pump at first. But the pressure tested ok. So I pulled the cap and rotor and noticed a lot of carbon. So they got replaced. A few days later the missing returned. I went to the parts store and bought plugs and wires. This is what I found after pulling a couple plugs, old compared to new:

I've owned the truck for 2.5 years and never changed the plugs and wires. I've never seen spark plugs worn out this bad before.

Got to work on pulling the 30 out from underneath the Jeep before the rain halted my progress. Here's a pic:

I couple quick questions for everyone. Look at the 3in spacer on top of the spring, can I use it when I install the 30 under my truck? And can I use the spring as well?

Pretty sure ya can bud

Thanks Josh. I'll hang onto them instead of trying to sell them off.

I've had to wait two mother f#(king days for the rain to stop so I can drag the 30 from underneath the jeep. And the forecast is calling for another day or two of this crap. At this rate, I'll never get the truck done. My future grandchildren might.

Sold this to a friend of mine to fund a new ranger. Maybe I'll get her back, maybe not. Only time will tell.
