Just bought a 99 ranger for $700, has a 3.0 a blown trans (scheduled a repair) with 4wd. its an exteded cab 2 door stepside xlt 4x4 offroad package.
are there any better seat options that allow access to the rear of a 2 door than the 60/40 split bench seats?
Everything I hear about the 3.0 engine is they are reliable but under powered, True? my plan could be a 5.0 swap in the future, but part of me might wait for a 4 door extended cab truck
I noticed the rear is drum brakes, would a disk swap be a good idea? I can grab a whole explorer axle from the junk yard for cheap.
any other common issues Im not thinking of?
I mainly bought it because I was so happy with my explorer and knew a lot of the suspension and body and frame stuff already.
