Ah the suspense. I have a Ranger as well, does almost everything a full size will do without the terrible gas mileage ;)

technically it is a 4x4 but that part of it ain't ready to roll, all i have left to do on that end is i have to wire in the shift controls for the transfer case, mechanically it's done though
i've got my cutlass still, remember the one i had problems with back in the summer and got those parts off you for well i never did get it fixed and ended up droping another motor in her then after taking the pan off the other motor found some aluminum chunks in it :devil:

I know all about finding chunks in the oil pan. I had to put a new motor in my blazer a few months ago. So know I have a new motor AND trans.:eek2: It's the newest 94 blazer around. You'll have to drop by the house and let me check that beast out. Sounds like a sweet ranger though.

Looking good though. I'd like to see that thing in action when it's done. Did you do most of the work?

the rangers use the same frame rails the only thing i had to change on mine is i had to cut out the engine cradle and weld in the 4x4 cradle in order to bolt the ttb suspension to my frame
