Well I purached my second ranger last week and plan on doing lots of suspention work to it. I plan on the solid axle swap and already have a 31 spline 8.8 axle for the rear. This truck is going to be strickly trail only. I know it looks rough now but it will look even worse after rock bashing it a few times...lol

Well here it is sitting on 33's and TTB for now.:)

Looks like a good beater. Better post some pics of the transformation. Looks like you need to chop the rear.

That definately has the makings of a great trail rig!

The rear is getting chopped 12" and the bed is comming off.

I can't take pictures of the front cause its too close to see from the garage wall, I need a wide angle lense...lol

looks like a good starting point for a project. If you decide too keep the bed anc chop it if you take out 14.25" :D the bolt holes that hold the bed on will line back up. chopping the bed was one of the best mods I have done.
