Hi All,
I just wanted to share my headache for the last year, taking a roll over 1991 4x4 ranger and using it's drivetrain in a 2wd 1988 ranger.
Along the way it gained a 6" lift with 33" Swampers.
The drivetrain from the 91 is the 4.0, 5-speed manual with a dana 35 front and 8.8 rear.
All of this for a power wheelbarrow.
Thanks for viewing.
D9N

Lead follow or get out of my way
I never much cared for wheel barrows... until now. I would wheel barrow things that didn't even need a wheel barrow.

Probably the nicest wheel barrow in the neighborhood!

Thanks Guys.
I live in Michigan and bought the 2wd truck from a guy who got it from Arizona. Kind of a rare thing to have so little rust.
The outer sheet metal was pretty much rust free but all the seams on the firewall were rusted out so I had to cut it all out and patch in new metal.
The 4wd the drivetrain is from was a Michigan truck and from the frame up was full of holes.
The Power wheelbarrow is now a toy so it should see much winter road salt.

Thanks again!

I really like it! a 6-inch lift with 33's on the single cab short bed should make for a fun off-road truck. Plus the axles and manual transmission should all make for a pretty reliable rig.

Great job!
