I got the rear shocks installed today, there were no installation instructions with the kit so I had to wing it :shock: ....Didn't go too bad, I'll have to take the axle to work so I can use the stick welder to finish welding the lower shock brackets on the axle. They are so close to the 4 link brac...

Here's a little update, we spent about 3.5 hrs working on the Ranger this morning, the F-inlaw replaced the front brakes with new pads, rotors, hoses and bearings. I mounted the line lock and bent/flared the front lines and the line from the M/C to the line lock. I need to get some 1/8NPT-3/16"...

Interior Rollbar install - Anyone here got one installed

I haven't bought my 8pt rollbar kit for the Ranger yet, I was wondering if anyone here has bought a kit from Jeg's or Art Morrision's???? I'm looking for some installed pic's to get an idea of how they were mounted. I can get a rollbar custom bent from Bear's Performance in Ontario for about $350cdn...

Headers ford a 351W in a 94

Before I buy a weld up header kit to make some long tubes for my 94, are there any LT headers on the market that are a close fit with minor mods?....I don't want to spend hundreds of $$$ on LT's when I only want one summer from them. I had a set here but once I looked at them they would be too much ...

The 4 link is fabbed at a height for a 30" tall tire as a starting point, when I drop the truck all I have to do is cut the frame off in front of the frame brackets and lower it to the bottom of the frame brackets - that will be about a 3" drop on the frame. Then we'll drop the body on the...

Well, the frame rails are now part of the truck. All in all I think it went pretty good. Took some time to make sure everything was square and straight as best I could. I'll finish welding in the 4 link this week in the evenings. As you can see in the pic I need to put a small piece on the bottom of...

I have priced full 8.8 spools, I know what your saying and after getting a good look at the slicks it's gonna have to be a full spool....More money. :roll: .....I'm trying to avoid narrowing the axle this winter if I can - costs a lot of money to do - I built a narrowed 9" for my 63 and it cost...

He said with all things working as they should he thinks the truck should easily run low 10's!!!! :shock: ...And he thinks high 9's are possible too depending on the weight/traction/boost. He said if it doesn't run in the 11's from day one then something wil be majorly wrong....LOL....I hope he's ri...

I got my freebie 27x13x15 slicks today, gonna look killer under that thing. Looks like a 20" frame width is gonna be the ticket to fitting these things under the box. I finished welding/boxing the frame today, put my 4 link gear together and prepped my 4 link brackets to go on the rearend. As l...

I'm now the proud owner of half a Ranger....LOL.... :D...I fabbed up my drop crossmember at the stock frame, welded it in and cut off the old frame today. I still need to add a couple more beads of weld in the top edges of the CM to the stock frame and make the driveshaft loop and box the ends of th...

Yup, I still have them. Regular ground mail - 9-10 business days would be about $16cdn. Xpresspost (6 days) would be about $25cdn.
