Bad Flames and New Flames

[rathranger]

Well i sunk my ranger, Got it out and did some clean up and changed all the fluids. A couple days later i was driving down the street about a block from house and it stopped driving( like no trans movement ). So I get out to check and I see smoke and some flames around the bottom of engine and trans. So i'm freakin out, run to my house grab a fire ex. from the garage and try to put it out, but no such luck it was to big by that time, then called the Fire Dept. And stood there and watched it burn up.

Well then I cried for about 3 months lol jk and then bought another ranger I plan on using as much from my old ranger as possiable(Axles, gears, lift, rims, 3 tires and whatever else i can pick off.
It's an 84 single cab with a 4.0 and auto trans swapped in with some 31/12.5R15 ThornTurds and some rust and awesome paint job
( I'm not a fan of it )

Also about a month before the ranger burnt up I bought a new DD
2003 f150 Fx4 , Have done lots to that also

Sorry 'bout the truck mate! So wtf happened? No idea how the fire started?

sorry about the burnt truck man. glad ur ok.

That f 150 looks cool with blacked rims
cant wait to see the mods on the new Ranger

so you painted the rims black, different emblems, exhaust, pinstripe removal... and what else on the f150. looks good. get rid of those chrome nerf's and it'll look better!

 

[rathranger]

I thought the fire started at the trans but after looking at it looks like back of the engine and when up? What that means IDK

f150 has, powder coat rims, leveled, 33's, acetone emblems,pinstripe removeal, subs, bedliner tined corners, rear tails and third brake light, put the SCT programmer in it, few more things since that pic, painted lower valance, painted bed caps, PTM center caps for the wheels,
Next im thinking Black headlights and remove door molding

Nerfs would be gone but the Woman would HATE me

It's hard I'm not a fan of chrome but not a fan of murdered black.
Trying to find that Happy Medium

Hope you learned your lesson for not keeping a fire extinguisher in your rig. Glad you're ok.

 

[rathranger]

yes very big mistake, it just never really crossed my mind, new rig came with one in it so were all good

Oh and how did the white ranger end up in a lake? Look like a trail? Drinking? There's got to be a story there.

No its a swamp bottom that i've been in when it was dry, was full of water early this summer so i gave it a try (twice). Actually blow a lockout hub when doing it, i thinks thats why the only one side sank.

this is a vid of the run. It's facebook though not sure if any of you can see it or not. But I figured I'd try, Audio is odd sounding though?

anyone know what brakes i should use on a dana 28 to 35 swap. And is it true that neither of the front driveshafts will work
