Thanks man, tires have been great, I got them off craigslist from someone that barely used them and wanted to go with a different tire. Got all 4 for $600 if I remember correctly.
Once the tune was dialed in everything else has been great.

Got a good price on the tires, I worry when buying larger than stock tires from Listings, sometime they are too far out of balance and then your stuck.
Hey man, I like your truck. I'm looking forward to doing something like this some day.
1. What sort of lift parts did you use on your truck, and
2. what size of tires/wheels?
3. Any improvements on your fuel consumptions?
4. Did you custom made your front fenders, or what? I can see its different.
5. Did you use the stock ranger ECU, or the one from the donor vehicle?
6. Your seats seems to have being swapped from the donor vehicle too, or it came stock? I know pretty much lots of those rangers came with fabrics.
I bet you, this truck can also be deployed in Afghanistan dude!

4. Fiberglass fenders
5. Everything was moved over from donor vehicle
6. Seats are from explorer
Picking up this 97 exploder next week for $1300. Runs great, previous owner was a grandma.
Question I have is, my 3.0 and tranny is still strong. There shouldn't be any reason why I can't put the 3.0 back into this explorer when I'm done, right?
this is unrelated to this question, but I wasnt sure how to directly message you. I'm currently swapping a 1996 5.0 v8 out of an explorer into my 1998 3.0 v6 ranger (2wd) and Im stuck on the mounts. I bought swap mounts for this vehicle/engine and installed them with 4.0 v6 ranger motor mounts, that's what I hear works, and that set up is not allowing the engine to sit far enough forwards for the intake manifold to bolt on. What did you do to mount your engine? I've included a picture of the swap mount on the driver side for reference. Thanks
