Mike DeHosse's 1986 Ranger 4x4

1999 Ranger Of The Year

July 1999 Ranger Of The Month

 

I bought the truck new in April of '86. In the spring of '87 I added a 6" Skyjacker suspension lift and a 3" JT body lift. I also added Enkie aluminum wheels with 35" BFGoodrich A/T radials. 

Next was the double rollbar, prerunner front bumper from Eastern Offroad, Rancho rear add-a-leaf, Rugged Trail shocks, Eagle Eye lights on the front bumper and roll bar and Bushwacker fender flares. 

I have been collecting parts over the past few years to beef up the 2.9l V-6 and also sold the 5spd manual and purchased a C-4 adapter kit to put an automatic in. 

So as it sits right now I just have to rebuild the C-4 to put it in. I have JBA headers, Accel coil and plug wires, chrome valve covers, a new oil pan that I want to have chromed, a 5.0 mass air sensor, but need computer from "90 2.9L Ranger, fuel injectors from a 5.0 Mustang GT motor. None of those part have been installed yet.
