I recently traded my toyota mud bog truck for a 90 Ford Ranger XLT it needs some work but I think it will make a good trail rig. Right now it has a 3 inch body lift and a 6 inch skyjacker suspension lift. I got to finish putting the motor in and do some body work. Some of my ideas are: new axles D44 front and 8.8 rear 4.88 gears and locked, 35 inch boggers. When the 2.9 gives up want to drop a 302 in it. I am also planning on building front and rear bumpers and sliders. I need some more ideas.

Hey I want those drop brackets off the front when you decide to part with them.

from the looks of the body, it needs an exocage

Definatly needs bigger tires.

Yeah I will let you get them when I get the SAS done

The body looks considering what it went through, a couple of years ago the owner at the time rolled it while driving it down the road Yota Bogger popped out alot of the damage and put a better bed on it before he got rid of it. And YES i am considering exocage

As soon as I get new tires for my gray ranger my 33 inch TSLs ore going on it for now

if you're going to the trouble to swap both axles you might as well go full width with a d44 and 9" that way you won't have to deal with mismatched lug patterns unless you use a full width 8.8

yeah that would be a good idea
