wait, why was the tailgate replaced after you replaced it when you wrecked?

Holy cow how many tires is that?

Well I bought 7 but only six of them are in the picture... 4 are almost new and 3 have seen better days but still useable and i plan on selling them as spares.

My latch was messed up and it would open very well and when it did open it then wouldnt close and my friend had given me the new one...

Well I'm kind of bored and I have other threads with my wheeling pictures but I think my build will be where i put some of my favorites... here they are so far...

Put my new wheels are tires on!!! It looks much better with tires that have some side lugs to them.

Well... I broke my tranny for the third time... I think its time for me to get rid of the 1/4 ton engine and trans.... I have a line a f250 with a 351 and a manual trans for $600... if i get it my ranger should be V8 powered within the next couple months...

Sucks about the tranny, good luck with the new combo!

Let the swap begin... It's an 87 F150 with a 5.0 and 4 speed...
Old Crawl Ratio with ranger stuff and 5.13s- 43, top speed of about 80
New Crawl Ratio with F150 stuff and 5.13s- 90, top speed of about 55-60

the best part is after I sell the ranger motor and t-case and scrap the F150 all the drive train should be about free!!!

sweet, cant wait till its a v8, and that f150 is sure rusted out

 

[lepp1892]

Well I haven't gotten much done... Just got everything in the ranger pulled in about 5 hours... it was getting way to easy to pull stuff from that thing...

 

[Kyle M.]

Looks good!

So I really should of went home to work on this, this weekend but I decided to be responsible and not spend the money to go home. It really sucks not being close to my chit to work on it all the time since I am in Ohio for my co-op...
