Ok so I recently got this 1993 Ranger STX and it's pretty sweet. It's the perfect in between on condition where I can wheel it without worry and it doesn't look bad either.

So here's some pictures:








Front brakes were TOAST, new calipers, pads, rotors and pins solved that!



So here's the final goal:
4-6" of lift
35s
Detroit True Trac in Rear
Aussie in the D-35
Manual Jeep hubs
M50D
1354M

Bedline the bottom part of the body
tube bumpers
456,567 lights :icon_twisted:
Snorkel
'96 Grille (got it just gotta do it)
smoked lights

Wish me and my wallet luck!

I think the first few mods are nice 31-32" M/Ts, Aussie and a 2" leveling kit.

Progress when I make some! lol

at least the bed is already dented....that is a good thing :icon_thumby::icon_thumby:

looks like a good start....

you will be amazed at what a locker in the rear, 2" washers up front, and some 32's will be able to do off road.....

l8r, John

I like it a lot better. I painted it with Bedliner as it came from the remnants of this truck...


I never knew that truck would keep on giving...LOL

Ok, bought two 32-11.5-15 BFG All Terrains and on Friday I'll have the other two! Then the next buy is a set of 2" leveling springs.

Sweet, the 32's will look great, I really love them on my truck with just leveling coils. I get a little rub though, so be prepared for that

IT'S MAGENTA!!!!! :icon_rofl:

Yeah the 32s with leveling coils will be boobies. I can't wait, and the mudflaps tarnish the great potential for mud colored paint...so they off...:yahoo:

Went wheeling with her and realized a few things:
1) Need to mount 32s
2) Front U-joints sound horrible
3) Moar Lights!!!
4) Holy hell this truck does great! If I can get the Aussie, leveling coils and 32"s on it'll be a monster!

Oh did a Junkyard crawl today, picked up a new armrest to replace the broke'd one in my truck and got a dome light outta an Exploder.

Pictures when I get my lazy ass outside.
