well the ole girl was gettin tired. slave cylender for the clutch was going out. and i was just fed up with it.

got me a used 08 ranger. xlt 4.0 slush box. 2wd though really coulf of used 4wd. no 4wd truck in stock in my area and also i have very little credit for being a young guy so a shiney new 09 was not happening.

any rate new truck, extended cab, 4 doors FTW! see how long i can leave it alone before mods

only pic i have on my cell phone.




as for my old truck well right now i plan to sell her, someone might want a little fixer upper. see what happens, if not maybe a trail rig SAS!!!

 

Why didn't you get a sport or a 4x4?

 

well one i have very little credit, i was 20 befor i got my first credit card im now 21. also nobody had 4x4's in stock that i could get a loan on. even if i could get a loan the 4x4 would be hard to come by or 08 year and id have to order a 09 and that just takes me back to problem number one credit.

 

Cool deal, I was just curious with how much you offroad and stuff. Sweet truck though!

 

i offroad eh ofton to alot, in my 94 2wd. i get alot of places. if money and credit wasent an issue a 4x4 of some sort with torsen would be in the driveway.

 

What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's about time dude!!! Congrats!!!

 

yea last weekends events kinda pushed me over the edge with the ole girl.


so yea time to get up to speed on what i can do with the new truck. being a twin i beam guy havent really bothered to follow the lift kits and crap out there etc....


OH BTW!!!!!! NO TORSION BARS! it has coils. dont know if its really news or not but it is to me cause most new rangers ive seen had the bars.

 

I'm not sure about lift but I know you can drop it. LOL.

That weekend proved to me that I need a bigger truck or a trailer. Nothing fit anywhere.

 

No 2wd XLTs have torsion bars, only the sports.

 

no way in hell im lowering it lol

 

hmm ok, news to me, but like i said im a i beam guy never followed the newer ranger front suspensions.

 

I would if I had a single cab with coils. I think they look great.

 

Yeah I would to get a single cab coil sprung ranger to lower.

 

eh anyways fun fun fun

might ad tow hooks up front i think i saw the cross member there. at least a skid plate, the trans cooler line are kinda low. imo

 

Don't go romp the hell out of the new one. SAS the old one for that!

 

Congrats Justin, looks good.

Buy Justin's old truck and do it!

 

I wouldn't buy another Ranger.

 

dont think the new truck would like it towing a sased truck to the trail cause no way in hell can i keep it road legal and support a new truck. green sticker it and tow it but yea new truck would be hatein.

 

Looks Great man, u need to get started on the modin!!!

 

It will tow just fine. Well if you know how to properly drive stick it will tow just fine and SAS is road legal.

 

new truck is auto.....

 

shoulda waited it out and gotten an early 2000 .... i just think a 4l 2wd auto is useless.

 

leave the new one maybe put some cool rims or whatever and a system, but leave the new one damn near stock. and make your other one a sas trail ****, then you never have to worry bout breaking down cause you will have your 2wd back up truck, which is perfect cause its 2wd and you cant wheel it too hard... i want to get a little car or 4 banger ranger just to have an extra one and dd of course then when i need a 4x4 i have one and its not being beating up on daily driving and i can do whatever i want to it and take as long as i need doing it cause i have my DD

just my opinion, you didn't need the money or the truck for a down payment on the new one so keep the old...

oh yeah and the new one looks nice and clean i like it and i really like that color...

 

Shows how much I pay attention. Well then it should tow about 5000 lbs just fine.

 

Very nice Justin! I say definitely SAS the 94. Leave the new one as is, except maybe some cosmetic stuff.
