Nov 2017.....Next on the agenda is Rocksliders and coilover conversion

 

^ Nice looking truck! What kind of bar is that on the front?

 

Mine as of today, pre-keys and 2.5" rear blocks installed.

 

Its a Westin Light bar

 

I understand you're supposed to mount them further back so you don't see light on your hood?

 

now were talkin!!! Tire size? And lift? How's the ride? I want to lift but i don't want to lose my comfy ride

 

I agree, that's a nice truck!

 

Superlifted on 33in Durtracs. Maxxed bars. ride is very bumpy. Looking into doing coil overs.

 

I keep hearing bad things about these Superlift kits. Hopefully the new Ranger will have more/better lift options.

Either way though, Nice looking truck man!

 

The Superlift aint that bad. Its fairly inexpensive, and durable. Mine has been on 3 years already with no problems. Only complaint I have is the crappy ride, and shocks. That's why I'm currently exploring my options with Coilovers.

 

Yeah I've read that the shocks are crap. Some better replacements shouldn't be too expensive though. The front end is probably stiff as hell due to the need to crank to T-bars all the way up, I guess that's standard to lift a Ranger though.

 

thats pretty clean, what year? just picked up my 88

 

I love the look and ride hieght but till I find a lift that will be as nice or better than my stock ride I'll wait. Mine rides soooo nice!!!

clean looking truck. I need to find something like that for my mom. Just need to sell her fox body first.

 

Used Rangers are plentiful on Craigslist. Took me a while to find mine though. Most of them have a crap ton of miles or are all beat to crap. Seems no one takes care of their stuff anymore.

 

Yeah its clean and it was even a landscapers truck!! She just really looked after it and took great care of it.

 

Clean trucks that aren't over priced are rare here.

 

My latest upgrades--custom exhaust, spare tire mounted finally and new tires-bfg ko2`s nice and quiet ride now--big difference from my noisy Duratracs.

 

I got this one for 500 bucks because it blew the tranny, fixed for 1700 bucks and only thing it need is some tires and inspection next month and im good to go. Maybe look for a decent one that needs a tranny or something and can get it cheap and fix it.

 

Nice truck Whisky. You keep those wheel nice and shiney, I like it! What muffler(s) are you running for your exhaust?

 

thanks, muffler is simular to a magnaflow stainless steel. Rims are a big pain to keep shiny, will probably plastic dip them black next summer until I get new ones.

 

I don't have the time not desire to work on a truck for my mom. I have my own 7 cars to maintain.

She's selling her pristine Fox body to pay for a ranger, so I'll have the budget

 

Good luck finding one.... are u looking for auto or stick shift?

 

Moms got limited use of her left leg due a horse accident, so auto. Basically she wants my truck(99, 4.0, auto, 150k miles, no issues, $4500) but I bought it for my oldest to drive in a few years.
