I got the title to my new '86 last night and got it swapped over today and in less than an hour later I was modifying it. I upgraded to 15" wheels like the 14" wheels that were on it. I got them from a friend that used to have a 4wd Ranger. Had new tires put on the 15's. The are 205/75/15's, stock for that truck is 185/75/15. It had 205's on it, but they were all in worse shape than I originally thought. I'm bring it home tomorrow. Expect more pics. tomorrow.

Before:


Believe it or not there is 7 wheels and tires in there(1 full size spare for the red truck, 2 225's on deer hove wheels, and 4 new ones for the '86).



After:







While I was laying under the truck today I realized how much nicer it is to work under a lifted truck than a lower truck.

Center caps will go back on after I paint/clean up the wheels. How about that red interior fellas? You know you like it!

 

flipkit and beams NOW!!!

 

I think I'll get it running first.

 

nice!

 

Looks great man hell the body is in great shape...wtf is up with the roof rusting. Great find for 100 bucks can't complain there, good project truck......make a PROJECT LOG NOW!!!!

 

Awesome! When you get it running you're gonna have to get used to the mirrors being wayy far back, lol

 

PRIMEWELL'S!!!! i've mounted and balanced more of those damn tires than i'd like to mention.. they're too soft for my liking. looks like it'll be one nice little tinker toy though.

 

x2.

and some fx4's with lowpros!!!

 

**** that, form over function any day haha

 

does that mean you got the cobras already?

 

not yet, hopefully next week. some **** came up about tomarrow :(

but the cobras will be function over form. dgaf about the 17" part, i care about the tucking part lol

 

And a Chevy 6.0!!!!

 

boooo!!

btw, does that mean your goin lower meow?

 

i got my rims and tires before i decided wich direction to go up or down. turns out down is a ****load cheaper than up LOL. they wont allow me to go down, but the cobras will tuck like jay does in clerks 2 rofl

3/5 or 5/7 idk yet.. 5/7 may be a little low for my city lol

 

well then as you said before.

flipkit and beams...........ftw

 

beams are in azusa.. just gotta pick them up.. flipkit is sitting on my desk next to my can of niteshade lol

 

I've changed my mind on flipping the shackles. I don't think I'm going to do it. I like the height it's at now and I don;t want the rear to be lower than the front.

 

nice little project man

 

I like the stance on it, I definitly wouldn't change it, Really nice project ranger for sure.

 

yeah dont lower it. its perfect height as is. a friend of mine has one just like he want me to buy for like $500. but with 50,000 miles on it.

 

flip your shackles and see how it looks. if you dont like it all you have to do it unbolt them and reflip em. street rangers look so much better leveled than raked

 

My odometer has rolled over, so I'm thinking mine has a little over 109k on it which is just less than my '01.

 

It's very very close to level now.

 

sure it isnt 200k lol how does it run?

 

well its a reg cab so if you flip em youll get 1 - 1.5 out of it. but its your truck do what you want to it
