Who actually has a Ranger???

[85_Ranger4x4]

I have one, I don't drive it much but I do have one.

It is getting gutted and pretty much a fresh restart as far as the powertrain goes as soon as the weather allows.

 

[master hec0]

had an 87 bronco II then I got a 97 ranger and traded in the bronco II for a 2011 ranger

so I own 2 ranger at this time.

 

[gwaii]

sorry,could you repeat the question?






actually,i've kinda lost count,but every now and then someone posts a pic of one i've forgotten about.


i guess i'm with our friend 'domestic poultry fornicator',and will go with 'troll that owns one'(or more)

I have one, it's a 97 2wd 2.3 5 spd.
Never in a million years would I look to buy one of these, let alone actually OWN one. This one found me, I took it as a trade for a Jetta I had. My only intention was to take the trade, and sell the truck ASAP.

Then I drove it. Except for it's inability to do much when it snows, I doubt I will ever give this truck up... with 236k on it and running the way it does, there is no need to sell it, except for one with 4 wheel drive

You better slow down or you'll have it wore out!

===================================
I've got 5 of em sittin round here, 94-99...............

Did you put the 200 straight 6 in your 85? I've seen some chatter on couple sites bout straight 6's, & 300 6's, but haven't seen any pics or anythin...... post up some pics of the swap.

Yeah the 200 was put in by me and my former bro in law. I unfortunately lost track of the pics in the divorce from his sis. The Ranger was a former 2.0 4-speed truck and was fairly easy to get the engine in. The engine was from a old fairmont as was the tranny. The low rearend gears and the trans gears resulted in a tire smoking beast up to about 45-50mph and then it sorta ran out of breath. I had intended to turbo it and use a aod on the truck but ended up getting rid of the thing. Wish I had kept it now. Oh well...... The 300 is a bear to get in by the way. It is mucho heavy and breaks everything else on the truck. You have to put a 8.8, beef the frame, change springs and watch the spindles. The 200 is just about right, but to each his own....

ive had a 97 xplorer 5.0, 00 explorer 4.0(wasnt really mine but i drove it everyday), a 00 ranger , 01 ranger my 85 b2, an 88 b2, and im about to buy an 86 4wd with a blown motor. either gonna swap the cab on my b2 or swap my motor into it from the b2 and build the b2 as a truggy like nmb2(sp.?)

my grandpa has had a few b2's, rangers, and a ranger explorer(i wanna say 77? with a 460 scj) i love the rbv's and would say they are the most durable, fun, and cheapest to maintain and buy parts trucks out there

I currently own a 97 ranger.

 

[HOT_ROD_CAR]

I've owned two Rangers, a Silver 1992 Reg Cab originally equiped with 4 cyl and 5 speed that I set a 5.0 H.O with AOD into! With 4.10 rear gear, it really tore out!
Now I own a 1991 Supercab originally equiped with V6 AOD that I installed a 351 Cleveland with a C4! Great truck built Ford tough!
