Aerostars and Rangers are my thing

[Turtle68]

I have a 94 Aerostar and a 94 Ranger. Both are "toys" although the Ranger is also my daily driver.

I'm having a heck of a time figuring out why my Aerostar fills up with water when it rains, the back two wells where the jack is supposed to stay are full of water every time I open them. I had thought about drilling drain holes, but that's just a band-aid, I'd like to fix the actual problem!

My Ranger, meanwhile, has a new engine and transmission, now it's time for the fun stuff. I have 15" Jeep wheels, trying to figure out what's the max tire size I can run without lift, and, if I DO decide to lift, what is the most simple kit to install (I'm a diy kinda' guy). Also, thinking of swapping the bench seat for buckets, and definitely interested in some upgrades to the music.

Suggestions (and CONSTRUCTIVE criticism) of all the above welcomed!

Be sure to check out our Aerostar Forum and our Ford Ranger - Mazda B-Series Forum.

Welcome to the forum. The leak could be from the rear side windows. My van leaked there, water ran behind the trim, was impossible to see.

Welcome to this forum! Hose down the windows then check to see if water is leaking in.

Front coil spacers, and lift blocks and new u bolts, or shackles for the rear are probably the easiest way to add a little lift.

Tons of options for audio. Only really limited by your goals and budget.
