woops i have made a mistake fellas ><
well as most of you know i purchased a ranger
well i thought it was a 98 ranger but its a 95 ranger instead lol
anyhow i bought parts from a 97 4x4 ranger like larger rims (same as stock but not 14 inche but instead 15?) with larger tires on them and a new window for 375 dollars tires are brand new i love it :D
anyhow...lol i will take pics when i get it to my shop and the whole walkthrough of it..
but question...its ben sitting for two years..and i cant tow it...is it safe to drive it for about 3 miles to the shop for it to get all the repairs??
also i got a flowmaster exhuast for it :D first mod sweet!

Been sitting for 2 years? Why mod a truck you're not even sure is safe to drive? I for one would make sure it runs before worrying about how it looks. But yea, check/change ur fluids, make sure you have brakes and all your lighting works so you don't get pulled over or not be able to stop. That's about all I can think of at the moment.

encabulator? wtf? lol
it runs and idles fine a bit sluggish with giving it throttle but i quess thats expected from slightly old fuel
at the shop we plan on replaceing everything and running seafoam through the system then replaceing al the spark plugs once completely.
but i was also wondering would the mods stil work fine with this engine?

okay well the truck is at the shop from looking at it the radiator hoses are fine,
oil needs changing and when i switch gears its kind rough? is that normal?
the left turning signal and lights just dont seem to work but headlights do only when i leave the steering column out in the middle
new tires and windsheild will be installed this week.
ill try to take pics its kinda dirty ><

quite the complaining, my truck didnt have brakes, exhaust and sat for almost three years when i took ownership. through in a battery, alternator and new belt, drove it home almost 15km (roughly 7 miles). just avoided sudden stops and worried about the rest when i got it home.
fluid check, fire and go...

Well the truck is home and running...decent new spark plugs and coils should be in order cylinder number 3 i beileve archs its spark into one of the header bolts and causes a misfire but did a temporary for it.
Im wondering about the 4.10 gears..where can i find them and how much do they run for? the slightly bigger rims and tires sure make it sluggish
