Ok so a few weeks ago I bought my 2nd Ranger (8th vehicle I've owned and had registered since 2009)

She's a 1995 2wd, 4cyl, 5 speed with 99K. She's lowered 3/4 on dream beams and axle flip. Needs new rims/tires but otherwise is a very nice truck. I paid $1800 for her and hope to have a nice truck that I can put on bags and DD.

Here's the newest photos, I know dirty rims....:-(








Next project is finding a new tailgate, rollpan, and fixing the dent under the tail light.

Hopefully I have progress pictures soon!

Picked up a set of 4 16" Exploder rims for $40, with center caps.



Hopefully I'll put some 215/45/16s on them.

New tires and a non dented tailgate

This is about what I want to do with it.

Thanks guys, I'm getting to figure out what to do next. I have a set of '62 Comet taillights that I want to mold into the roll pan, but I need a different pan, this one is so flimsy.

We'll see what's next!

New project for the truck!

331 cubes is the goal.

Looked hideous from the start, seized up and rusty, BUT I got it for $20 so it was worth the gamble. Brought it down to my machine shop buddy and he said it was good to go after we bore it .030.

It's a 1972 block that is virgin bore, so it should be a stout motor when I get her built.

So now goes the major task of saving up lots of money for machining and parts.
