    Yeah Corpus is a ways down there. When Laura came through a few years ago the family and I evacuated to Victoria... It was supposed to hit us directly but it turned east at the last minute and hit Lake Charles. While there we went down to Corpus for dinner at Franks Spaghetti House and to...

    Hot Springs or Wolf Caves

    There are a few parks in the southern part of the state, near the Texas/Oklahoma state line. RMR Rugged Mountain Ranch has Tackett Creek... that's a great trail. The only time I was there we were on the way back from Hot Springs with both front axleshafts busted... so I didn't get to ride it.

    Hot Springs or Wolf Caves

    I used to live in Metropolis Illinois, so LBL would have been easy. I now live in Bridge City TX, quite a bit further. I don't have the black 93 anymore... I now have a blue 96 Ranger on 40's. I keep intending to do a build post with photos throughout the build.

    49-410-8 Cam Upgrade 93 Ranger XLT 4.0 OHV

    I would not try it in the vehicle. I know the lifters will not come out without removing the heads. So doing it on an engine stand would be ideal... besides, those cams are ground on a smaller base circle so a pushrod change would in order. Otherwise the valve train geometry will be out of...

    Need some information about 2.3L turbo crank!

    I've bought a 2.5L sohc from a 97 Ranger that had two pistons grenade. Fortunately the block cleaned up at .040" but the crank was thrashed. My ultimate goal is turbocharging this engine and replacing my 3.0L. I know the bell housings on the engines are different between the 2.3/2.5 and the...

    93 Ford Ranger Dana 44 Install

    Bobby- I had looked at the RCV shafts... if I have issues with these in the future that is the way I will go. I haven't done a lot of high travel situations so I stuck with the D50 inner stub and slip yoke. I did have the right side inner shaft made with extra spline length just in case...

    Jim- Picking up the D50 chunk tonight after work. Going to bolt it up to the beam and measure for the right side axle.. Stock D44 is too long and D35 is too short, 4" difference.... I figure I'll split the difference Besides, bolting the D44 beams onto the Ranger mounts narrows the track...
