What did you do to your Ranger today? (Part Deux!)

Finally got my 96 parts truck stripped after finally finding someone to buy the engine. I knew it was rotten, I just didn't think it was as rotten as it was... never had a transmission fight being removed as much as that one did

I’ve heard that backspacing is sometimes an issue but should fit

I picked up those four Jeep wheels, they were free. That was to get a spare for. @Peter_'86_2.9L_Auto ’s truck.

The wheels had 31 x 10.5 x 15 tires on them, the heavy duty things that have the three ply side walls. When I measured it with the tape measure, the offset was about 4 1/2 inches and the Ranger offset was about 5 inches if I recall right. We pulled off his front wheel and we tried one and just steered it back-and-forth on the Jack. The wheel fits fine, but the tire is big. I gave him a smaller tire to have it swapped over. It’ll work fine as a spare.

Now I have to get rid of the other three jeep wheels and tires…..

Did I mention I love Craigslist at marketplace?
