Heres the latest mod..... The new snorkel makes the truck more like a sub.... I`ve had water up to the hood so far without any problems ! I have taken this truck places now I never imagined I never could before !
The final toy on my list....Now I can get my pavement speed fix.
Got some new pics the other day... met some guys from therangerstation.com and we decided to go find some mud. Sorry, no action shots, just "best stuck of the day " pics. matts truck
both in the same slop
and yes, my pride and joy sitting frame deep resting on the front bumper.This is what happens when you get too cocky pulling people out. (Thank you god for teaching me humility...)
The top of my 33" tire even with the ground
This is my `97 Ranger XLT.Its got a 4.0 with a mild P&P job, Dana 35 front and Ford 8.8" rear axles loaded with a 3.73 ratio for now. This isn`t one of the pretty show trucks you see on alot of on these pages,nothing color coordinated,no extra chrome,no custom paint work(except from the scratches),and nothing bought just for the label. In my opinion, if its pretty,then it probably doesnt work that well.
I spent a lot of time doing stupid things in this truck and over the years I have found out things I need and things I don`t.
Right now it`s set up with a 6" Skyjacker class 2 suspension lift, home made coil spacers, front swaybar disconnects, limiting straps for air time, removed rear swaybar,a few extra skid plates here and there, some custom body work (angle grinder and big stumps),and its sitting on 33x12.50`s. The spare tire rack was made from the factory spare holder(didn`t have the cash for the fancy fabtech rack).
I should be getting some more pics soon....Hit me on my E-mail with any questions, I love talkin trucks. If it breaks, its only an excuse to talk the wife into a bigger and better part!
(at the local car wash)
(looks funky without the tires,huh....)
I think I have a light fetish...more are coming after my second battery is in place.
