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

Let's see some pics. Is it 4x4 now? What have you been driving all year?

Should've built a bowtie:devil:

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.

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
