MY new project 89 Ranger

I just picked up a 89 Ranger Single Cab 5spd. with a 2.9V6 Manuel Hubs in the front. on the stock D28 ( should be changing that out for a D35 with a locker in a month or so)
3.73 gears.
Roll Bar with Lights,
Push bar with Lights.
has 31" AT tires on it on Alum. Rims.
I have 15x8 Black Spoke Rock Krawler rims going on it with some 33x10.5x15 TSL Thronbirds ( picked up the tires for $150 with 50-55% tread)
4" superlift with blocks (im looking for 4" arched rear leafs i hate blocks)
New Clutch
Motor and body have 88k on it, body is just starting to get a little ruff. but nothing i cant take care of befor it spreads.

I paid a hole $550 for it. plus tires makes $700. (already had the rims) im hopefully going to get that D35 with locker (picking it up for $250) and a 3" Body lift $100 bux, probably about $50 in body work total when done $1100
So for a $1100 ill have a good DD and off Road beater... not to bad. Hasnt been deliverd to my house yet so work hasnt started. Ill get pics with in a week or so Hopefully. :thumbsup:

*EDIT* thought it was a 90 til i was informed 90's had a d35 and i went to double check its an 89

me either but alot better then the tires that were on it, itll get me threw summer intil i can save up a little more $$$ and get some real nice tires for it i just dont exactly have another $500 to spend on just tires as of yet. and the truck deserves 33's. the D28 will have to live with it til i can get the D35 locker. :thumbsup:

You only got the D35 if you also got the 4.0L., and 90 was the first year for the 4.0 in Rangers.

Sounds like a decent truck!
 






Sounds good. May also want to shorten your signature up to 6 lines or less. Kind of the rule of thumb around here. ;)

DONE

ALSO. when the truck gets here in about 3-4 days hopefully ill run the VIN# an get the true yr for sure. the White tag on the door is gone and there is no title cause Maine doesnt require a title for anything below 91, so when it gets here i may have to up date with the real Yr. haha.. scence i have conflicting Info.
