I got it my sophomore year of high school right after I turned 16... in 2000.85_Ranger4x4, I looked at your 85 build. Great work and it seems like you're fresh out of high school. Awesome. That's about when I did my most ambitious work on modding cars myself. Question... How do you get traction with the rear wheels with no weight over them and that short block?
It stayed pretty stock until the V8 swap in 2011.
For traction, explorer 8.8 with limited slip and if there is a hint of slickness on the road 4wd to keep the front in the front.
