progress

so i took the day off from work to work on the ranger. i put in the last two poly cab bushings and put in the 1 inch body lift. then i cut one of the rotted cross members out and started to fit i built. i finally put a new ford emblem on my grill ( i still gotta pull it off and and paint the blue part black). then i went and picked up two new front spring hangers from ford. fixed the rear brake line, and ordered two 20ft rolls of stainless brake line from summit. next week some time i'm going to pick up a b2 tank and and a one piece drive shaft.

so today i picked up some 15x10 rims that i'll be painting black and a new mass air flow sensor off of a 1993 lincoln town car with a 3.8 all for 20$

What years 3.8 mass air meters work on our 4.0 Rangers? I've never even heard of that before and would be WAY easier than buying an adapter bracket for the stocker. Very cool idea! I'm assuming they have the same size injectors, ranger vs. lincoln?

I have the exact same truck as you down to the color even.

One day I know I am going to have to do just what you did.

x2, and that day is coming very soon....
