This is my first ranger build, built a 79 ford on 8" on 38.5s a long time ago and now I stick to hotrods and dragsters.
I picked this ranger up for 800$ with a blown fuel pump and an unknown motor condition. Had a ding in the cab from a tractor bucket and a bad fender from falling into a ditch. I do not currently have any stock pictures because as soon as we bought it, It gained a 3" bodylift, a full tune-up, and 34x9.5xR15 tsls I won at an auction.
Goals:
5.5" Skyjacker Long arm Kit
Level rear to match front
Custom trans cross member for the long arm
Paint
Fix cab
New Fender
Bumpers
And overall just have fun with it on the weekends in the woods and drive it to work during the week.
The skyjacker kit will be going on tonight hopefully with a few modifications to various parts for strength. Time for the plasma cutting.
Oh and the truck has been named WALL-E due to the tilted headlight which I dont have a picture of yet.
The lift while flexing on the 34s is just a 3in body, and it only rubs on the inner fender wells a bit when turning, we plasma cut the bumper corners off
