the new ride....

[86 slo-vo]

well i sold the explorer a few weeks back....spent days and days on craigslist and a few other site's looking for rangers....finally found a pretty decent 94 short cab short bed truck...4.0 5 speed 4x4 155.xxx miles pretty decent shape considering it was a farm truck i believe

should have a longarm skyjacker kit soon and the modds will start comming...would like to end up 35's but most likely 33's....

BTW here is the ex i sold to get this thing...

That looks like a nice clean truck.

Look like a nice find. With 155K, is an engine swap part of the plans? And why did you sell the Explorer?

 

[railman]

[rngr4x4beast]

nice truck like the arrow on the antenna i got 1 to

 

[93Ranger4x4]

nice! i just bought a 96 the same style as yours but purple 4.0 5spd 155k, it was also a farm truck, runs like a top, has its share of dents and dings but overall pretty good.

ill be staying 4.0 unless something was to happen and i had an ex to pull the v8 parts from....i ended up selling the ex after searching for months for a cheep gen one or two ranger to swap the drivetrain into...couldnt really find the truck i was looking for and somebody made me an offer so off she went...i picked this one to start out a new build

railman...lol yea that was a good little spot...about 30 feet behind that spot is where i thought i was gunna roll it i crossed over from a blue that looked like a little too much since i was on my own

im ready for it man i need to get going on this rag!

thanks for all the compliments guys, this is my 4th ranger and im sure there will me more!

 

[railman]

like i said before...whenever ya ready let me know

or if ya wanna wrench on it sometime let me know...have a mini "mod" g2g...lol

will do man...probaby not this weekend but the one after i will most likely be doing the lift...have to save a few bucks this week for NMRA in BG

 

[86 slo-vo]

re-did my exhaust today...wanted it up out of the way where it wont get dragged off or beat up...so here is what i came up with

just a cheepo thrush muffler...pipe goes up over the frame and back down out the fender, the tip wont be sticking out as much tommarow when i go get a new hanger to tie it all up

dont look at the welds! the batteries were out in my helmet so i had to blind weld it...

 

[railman]

looks good, i would just use some high temp paint to paint the pipe sticking out....looks a little rusty..

l8r, John

 

[86 slo-vo]

[DeepSouthRanger]
