I bought my 1991 Ford Ranger STX back in 2013. I have wheeled, driven and worked this truck and now after buying a new daily, it is time to give this truck a full restoration like I had always intended.
Over the past several years I have obtained several parts that the truck wasn't optioned with from the factory. The roll bar, tubular rear bumper, and the Bosch Profi 210 offroad lights just to name a few.
I started this project out by first taking it to a graphic shop to have the decals remade. Once this was done I sent it to a highly recomnended body shop to have it repainted. Little did I know, the guy would leave me with my truck having an oversprayed interior, frame and windows. As well as lots of unfinished bodywork and orange peal. That being said I am waiting until I have my truck budget built up enough to have the paint redone correctly so that I can have the decals put back on.
My ultimate goal is to swap the 2.9 for a supercharged bullitproofed 4.0 engine.
As well as swap in a 5 speed trans and a manual transfer case. Other things like a 2" Skyjacker lift and lots of other goodies will be going into it as well. I will keep you guys updated on the progress. If anyone needs any tips on finding some of the hard to find parts just let me know!
