Well I don't have a build thread for eithre of my rigs right now so I figured I'd start one off.
This is my 1999 Ranger, Extended Cab, 4 door, stepside. Its got the 3.0L FF, 5 speed, 4x4, 3.73' gearing with open differentials.
Heres the truck the next day after I picked it up...
I got it with about 80,000 miles on it for 5,000$, it was really clean only a few scratches on the tailgate.
After about a week of the 225's I got tire of the wheels being so tiny so I swapped over the Mickey's and D hole rims onto it. and it looks Awesome!
Then I figured since I had 31's for summer, i had to have 31's for winter and got a set of Wintercat SST's 265's. Let me tell you as a person that just ran Mud tires in the winter these tires are awesome especially with ABS!
And so far I have only don a few things... An exhaust, and some lights and a stereo.
Dynomax exhaust system:
KC 57 series lights:
And these will be going up on top this summer when I build a rack for them.
More to come later today I just gotta find the pictures...
My plans for this truck, seeing as it is going to be my DD/ camper and trail rider is going to keep it mild for now. Heres whats in the making.
Exhaust system - done
Lights - 1/2 done
Mild engine work - plans for an underdrive pulley set, bigger alternator, tuner, 1.7 roller rockers, MAF mod, larger TB. (with eventual plans to swap in a 4.0L or 5.0L)
Limited slip for the front and rear
Mild lift, maybe 1" hockey puck body lift and eventually a Dixon Bros long travel suspension some day.
step up to 32's
swap out to 4.56's
Rubber matting for the floors.
other stuff...?
