I am going to take out at least 12" and maybe up to 16. I am still trying to figure out what to do with the rear crossmember and may move some spring mounts around as well. I also want to somehow squeze a bronco 2 tank in some how as well. It might be tight cause I am going to take the body...

Looks like they might be staying open check out this link. Dead Link Removed So if this is true we need to get a run together this summer :bounce::bounce::bounce: Matt

I can go ether way sence I don't know how late I can stay sunday cause I need to be back in San diego farly early sunday. Matt

I have no idea what type of shell it is. It was on the truck when I bought it. It is starting to get some stress cracks it from all the flexing, one of the windows is plexyglass sence i broke the origional when I rolled, and one of the latches is busted as well. I am taking the shell off in a...

I will keep you posted. If it happens I won't be leaving Julian (where my parents live) till about 6 friday evening so to you about 8 and flagstaff 2 or 3 in the morning. Matt

Nope 7.5 but you wanted an exploder rear with disks anyway right. I blew the head gasket in mine it pegged the temp guage 3 times when it happened. All i did was pull the head and put new gaskets in. I didn't resurface the heads or rebuilt any of them. I figured if I resealed the top end up...

I am still planning on coming out for the run. I don't know how late I can stay on sunday for the bbq. I plan on getting into the cinders late Friday night and have to leave early sunday to get back. Hey gopher I may have one opne seat if the two people I have talked to drop out. Also I...

Check out www.therangerstation.com and they have a break down of all the trannys available in the rangers. The t5 was never available from the factory in a ranger. Advance Adapters makes a kit to swap them into the rangers. Also 4.0 didn't come in the rangers till 90 or 91. On my 86 I have...

I don't have an explorer but I would be interested in doing some runs this summer. I will be in San Diego from jun till August. Let me know MAtt

I have been super busy with school and haven't had time to do them. I will try to get them scanned this weekend. Matt

Here are a few pics from this past weekend when I went to Hollister. http://86ranger.homestead.com/hh_5_12_01.html Matt

I'm not going to be able to make it. Hopefully we can get a run going somewhere else this summer. Matt

Yeah I managed to do a liitle body modification when I was out. Trashed my front bumper, smashed my passenger fender also dented hood and cracked the grill, hook on the bed to hold stuff broke off on a tree. I also added a few new dents to the bed and a few cracks in the fiberglass shell. The...

You might want to try the bullitan board over at www.therangerstation.com I think someone there was able to do it, MAtt

I am still planning on being out there. I am meeting a guy with a locked up jeep. I think we might be running tanktrap depending on how deep the water is. We also may do the mini rubicon as well. Jim if you remember all the dents on my drivers side it is from the last time I went out with...

That sucks sorry to here that tom. Did they break the ARB also? If you get a 44 front that will be sweet. Nothing like building the truck a few times. Matt

Sounds like a nice truck to bad I have no money. Just out of curriosity what gear ratio do you have in it? MAtt

I don't think I will be able to make it I am going try to though. Depends on how much studying I get done before that weekend. Matt

Saturday is the only day I could possibly do. I'll let you know when it gets closer Matt

Hey Jim I just read this post and sorry to hear about your truck. That sucks about the insurance deal. I hope everything gets worked out for you. Matt

It is more than likely a dana 60 rear. Some where around where the cover bolts on to the housing and where the axle tubs go out there should be a number cast into like I said probably a 60 rear. The front could be a dana 44 or a dana 60. Look at the same areas as the rear for a number cast...

I might be able to make it out if I can fix that leak in my front end. I won't have it fixed till that friday night before so I won't be able to give you a definante till then. If I end up going you mind if I invite a CJ7 as well he is locked front rear with 35's. I will let you know friday...

I might not be able to make it since I will be starting a job the monday before the weekend. If I endup making it I like the idea of the crawling sunday cause I can leave early enough Sunday to be back to San Diegoto go to work monday morning. Matt

Doesn't really matter to me. I would like to try Raw deal though. Also how hard is Raw deal I have never seen that one. Is it lockers manadory or what Just curious. I can meet everyone if Flag if neccesary as long as where you camp out at the cinders is not to far off the main road going...

Looks better and better for me to go. I could probably only do a saturday day run though. My finals aren't till wedensday so I should beable to pull itoff. Matt

Lets see finals are the following week for me. Not sure if I can make it. I will see what I can pull off with school. Lokks like about a 20% chance I might be able to make it. We will see how school is when it gets closer. Matt

Hey jim sorry to here about work. Did you ever replace the broken bodymount that you had. Hope you guys have fun wish I was going. Matt

I am pretty sure the 2wd have a mazda built tranny. If you check out www.therangerstation.com they have a break down of the different tranys in the rangers. Matt

How many are planning on being there. I am going to try to make it. Not sure though Here is the runs that are happening. http://www.hidesertroundup.com/runs.html Matt

The truck air is a pretty good unit. I have one I got it at K-mart on sale for 35. That was about a year ago though. Matt

Yeah it was alot of fun. As far as the parents house it is not to great. My grandpa is really sick so have spent most of my time at the hospital. Haven't touched the truck yet. Maybe tommorow. Matt

That was a fun trip. It was nice seeing Tom and Bill again and meeting Jim Ken and Andrew. To bad it was a little chilly. I had a blast. I will have my pictures up sometime next week. Did I read some where that Tom likes his MTR's. Also Ihave decided that the procomp muds are no good and...

I'm outta here see you all in a few hours Matt

I am getting ready 5 hours till I depart. I talked to my parents yesterday who live in Julian (5000 feet) and said they got snow yesterday. Should be a fun weekend. I am getting some wood from them not sure how much. It is the big stuff that won't fit in their wood burning stove so I am...

I am ready less then 24 hours till I leave . Jim I will meet you between 8:00-9:30. I have to meet my mom in warner springs on the way to drop off some stuff to her and pick up some firwood my parents are giving me. It is right on the way. Not sure how much wood I will see when I get there...

I have no idea on the front of yours. Never have looked at them close. Just know about my old truck. Matt

No you don't need a green sticker for your truck only for bikes and quads. If you have a bike it is a seperate riding area anyway. It is a blast out there. The only mod for all you stockers that I would recomend is some tow hooks front and rear especally if has been raining. Have fun everyone...

I can't wait to get there 2 more days. Just got some new procomp muds to get rid of my bald tires I had. I can't wait I'm ready to test the new tires. Forget studing I'm going to start packing now. I can always retake a class but missing a weekend of wheeling can never be replaced Matt

Sounds good Jim I will look for a stock blue explorer when i get there. I will wake you up if you get there before me. Matt

Hitting the trail aroung 9 am sounds good to me. I will pick up a bundle along the way. I have a cb as well. It doesn't work very well but works for short distances ok. I am ready Also I went out and got a new tool set to replace my old one so I have most of my tools that got stoolen so OI...
