Quick and easy roof rack build. Wanted a larger rack for overlanding and i did not want it to go on the stock cross bars. I don't like how high it would have sat off the roof. Did it all for free with spare material but I priced it out at $150. Hoops are made from 3/4 emt. Light weight but...

Picked up a 94 Explorer for $1900 as my new daily. Setting it up for overlanding. Came with brand new 31's so I'll wear them out before going to 33's or possibly gearing down a bit and doing 35's. So far all I've done is winch "9000lb badlands", 4" rough country suspension lift, and built roof...

After running the new 87 daily since May 2020 I decided to give it some attention. Painted it few months ago and gave it a 3" body lift and some new tires this week.

So I just bought this 87 that was parked and sat for two years. Changed out old gas and fuel filter and ran sea foam through it. Would only run when you pump the gas and even then ran crappy. I changed out the map and fires right up now. Idles smoothly but at 3k rpms. After it warms up it goes...

Been driving an explorer around for a couple years. Did the Rubicon in it. Stock axles and gears, no lockers. Made it all the way in and out with no breakage. Fun rig but was time to get back into a Ranger, so I picked up an 87 for 500 bucks. Almost like my first truck the red 87 stx. After...

Back in the mid 90's when I was bout 4 or 5 years old this was my now good friend's daily driver. It was a clean machine until his buddy rolled it. Cab was totaled so the father of the guy who rolled it bought it. Then sold it to the brother of the guy he brought it from. It has been through...

I know my truck isn't lifted yet but I was bored and decided to start on a snorkel. After checking out many different homemade versions I decided I wanted something different. Want it to be close to a factory style snorkel as I can. Mind you I've never attempted this before do don't laugh...

Been too long since I posted anything. Anyways long story short, I had to say goodbye to big red and hello to Mr. blue. Bought it bout a year ago with 170,000 miles but still very clean. Had a camper shell and silver belly band. I ditched the shell, rhino'd over the two tone, painted most...

So it's been a looong time since I've been on this site and I need to update. About a year and a half ago I had to say goodbye to my red 87 Ranger for reasons that are to upsetting to go into. I'm now driving an 88 king cab 4x4. Will have pics up soon. Have had it for almost a year and I'm...

My buddy Dave just got his air lockers in the front and back done...so we had to test them out. We hit Prairie City for the day. I've got some videos but I don't know how to post them. Btw...for whoever is thinking about getting these tires...Firestone..they are EXCELLENT! They did awesome...

Well I took the truck out a few weeks ago to Prairie City right after a nice downpour. It was like whale snot out there. Unfortunatly I went alone so I didn't have a camera-man. The truck did awesome for what little stuff there is there. Not a single problem. I did manage to get some pics...

Alrighty then..got tires today and man are they nice. Firestone destination mt's...33x12.50" r15. Got some new rims from a friend for free. The black ones I had were only 15x7's..these are 8's. I'm prolly going to paint these aswell. They only rubbed in one spot on one side..but I cut both...

Well I haven't posted any pics for a while so here's some more "driveway" pics. I know I've said this before but I hope to be getting tires before the week's over. I prolly won't do any wheeling until I get tires because these are dangerously bald. Anywhoo here's some pics. Got a headache...

Alrighty for those of you who know what I was going through with my truck..all that power loss issue and stuff..I fiiinaly got it! I was told by some on this site and by others I know to check my ground wires...well I thought I'd have to go through the whole engine and find every ground there...

Okay so I'm going to reillustrate this problem. 87 Ranger 2.9 v6. Idles erratically and idles fine on and off. Misses durring idle and throughout idle speed range. While it's idling good...it will hold 3,000 rpms in nuetral for anywhere from 5 seconds,to a good couple minutes...but then it...

My 87 STX is finaly on the road,and I've discovered an issue. It has this on and off lack of power and erratic idling. It will be idling fine and all the sudden start choking like it's gunnu die. After a couple minutes it will go back to normal for anywhere from 1-10 minutes,and then it...

Well I'm finaly getting something done on this truck. It's running like a champ and just in time cuz I'll be driving in less than a week. Yahoo! lol. Anywhoo my dad and I stripped off the old door panels and visited the craft store. We used the cardboard from the old panels as a template...

Okay so I can't figure out what my truck's bolt pattern is. It's more than 5 on 4.25...but less than 5 on 4.50. I can't fit this set of 5 on 4.5,15x8 black crawler steelies on my 87 Ranger STX. I cannot figure out what bolt pattern I need. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Is it like...
