Ranger Owners: Show Off Your Truck

BLOODBANE · 11-26-2008, 05:37 PM

I've done a v-8 swap with a C-6 and Dana20 T-case, maybe someday I should do a write up on that. When I do my SAS I will do a write up and have tons of pics. This is for a gen1 Ranger. Still deciding to either build the HP44 or hold out for 60's(could run 40's that way and not break much)

NintyEight-XLT · 11-29-2008, 11:26 PM

well I have a little update with the ranger, its at a halfway stage. I am looking through the junkyasrds for a 4x4 trans with a t-case for the truck and doin a XJ Dana 30. After the first offroading trip w/ the Ranger I was majorly disappointed so I have to upgrade.

**Tbars4** · 11-29-2008, 11:31 PM

...and a quick news bulletin....

...For all those people who know Rwenzig, he has been nominated for stotm at trs so be sure to show your support...

...carry on...

As requested in my intro post here are some pix of my Rangers.

My old daily driver 87 2.3turbo beater. Ran 12.50's at 111mph. I sold it a few years ago to a buddy.Its almost in the 10's now.

And my 99 ex-cab thats sitting with a blown trans,blown head gaskets,two broken CV's and a broken front Aussie Locker.....that was a fun day!!

**Tbars4** · 12-04-2008, 04:41 PM

...

...You definately need to add a registry for your trucks...I'm sure there will be a lot of questions to be asked...

scotttmbolt · 12-05-2008, 11:14 AM

That blue truck is Beautiful!

deathbypsi · 12-05-2008, 11:28 AM

Thank you! I wish I could show you all the work I put into it over the years. It was a great truck until this last trip that pretty much destroyed everything on it!

All the guys I wheel with have much bigger rigs and I have never been left behind,I always seemed to find a way to get through whatever the others did.

That truck has been sunk up to the door handles a dozen times{yes I mean that} and drove right through!........except this last time

Aussie lockers,cowl snorkel,skid plate and long vent tubes worth every dollar!

You are going to fix it, aren't you??

deathbypsi · 12-06-2008, 02:21 PM

Yeah its my spring project.Gonna put the open diff back in the front,I have some Crager Soft8's for it and I am trading my 84 B2 for a trans rebuild.

**Tbars4** · 12-30-2008, 07:54 PM

...I would have thought we would have more Ranger owners posting pics of their trucks and adding links to their threads by now...

...I know a lot of Ranger owners have been browsing this thread lately...

**Tbars4** · 01-18-2009, 09:13 PM

...For those who haven't heard, our very own Rwenzing has the #1 Ranger at Car Domain, and he recently took "Street Truck" honors over on TRS ...

...His awesome Ranger can be seen here...
