    2003 2.3L Engine replacement/swap options

    Diamond in the rough? 56k for a grand? Not bad....straight through Alabama on the Tennessee border. Never know, might be able to talk 'em down by calling them directly. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2004-2006-Mazda-B2300-Ford-Ranger-Engine-MOTOR-4CYL-2-3L-/231039547163 Another one...ends up being...

    2003 2.3L Engine replacement/swap options

    Honestly, your best bet is to just replace it with another 2.3L Duratec, with the least of miles as possible. Sourcing your engine is as easy as eBay or my favorite, checking www.car-part.com. My 2001 4.0L had 110k and had the common timing chain issues since 40k...replaced it with a 1,000...

    not a ranger but a great classic

    That's awesome!! Back in the day, conversion companies were hired to extend the cabs of pickups for use in forestry and fire fighter jobs. Many didn't have any extra doors, it was basically a stretched standard cab with windows similar to a camper or canopy installed. Other conversion...

    RE-Gear Finally !

    Yay! About time! Haven't really heard of anyone dropping an OX into a Ranger. x2 on what camodown said on the G2 gears if the M35 kit isn't available for a while. There's also the in-house brand Complete Off Road offers so that's another option is the Yukon's are an absolute no-go. I've got...

    been a bitter/sweet week

    The Citrus is still a hottie. I dig it! I keep finding mods for it 'cause I'm oh so good at spending OPM (other people's money)! LOL.

    4.11 or 4.56?

    .... He's compensating for the larger tires...gaining driveability, power, mileage, and reducing drivetrain wear.

    Favorite wiper blades?

    PIAA Super Silicone blades. Not cheap, about $20-22 a blade, but work amazing and are very long lasting. My first set of them lasted 3 years And my second set lasted 3 years as well. http://www.piaa.com/store/c/28-Wiper-Blades.aspx I'll never run a Bosch blade again (Icon, or Excel). They...

    Roll-In Bedliner, Removal and Re-Installation

    Yeahhhhhh about those.... So funny story. I was on a 3.5hr road trip that I used to do weekly a couple years ago. 90*F, no A/C so all windows down cruising at 75-80. BANG! Pass mirror folded in. I thought I hit a bird or something...no biggie, I'll fix it when I fuel up in 20 mi or so...

    Roll-In Bedliner, Removal and Re-Installation

    Yep! I kept her stirred up with a stir stick every time I dumped a load into the paint tray. Got her done today....used up the full gallon with two coats on the floor and three on the tailgate and sides (I run a bed mat so on the floor wasn't as important to me). But I do need to pick up a...

    Roll-In Bedliner, Removal and Re-Installation

    Thanks for posting this up.... I've been EXTREMELY disappointed with my DurpliColor Bed Armor roll-in kit ever since the moment I laid the first coat on last summer. The texture is very spotty and completely not uniform. Today I stripped off my headache rack, rail caps, tailgate cap, tool...

    Front Diff ’03 EDGE

    You have a D35 that accepts D35 standard cut ring and pinion. Echo much? http://www.ringpinion.com/b2c/ProductDetails.aspx?ProdID=11946&Product=YG_M35-456&Brand=Yukon_Gear_Ring_and_Pinion_Sets...

    Interior is almost done.

    What is your set up? What projectors? I know those shrouds are not TRS and whatever is hanging off the back of the projector and that box is not TRS. Unless they're OE units I'm not familiar with. Went back 8 pages and all I've read is "purchased second hand TRS harness". All I'm saying...

    Front Diff ’03 EDGE

    All 98+ Rangers have a D35 front axle and accepts D35 standard cut ring & pinion. All 8.8's accept 8.8 r&p....no special r&p for 28spline vs 31spline. Dana 27 was a precursor to the Dana 30 solid front axle. Found in CJ5's, Scout 80's. Rear as well in those. I don't recall ever seeing...

    Interior is almost done.

    YouTube can get you some pretty good info on the process and even doing it yourself in the bathtub! Along with lots of videos showing how it's done. With such small pieces like those switch bezels, it's worth a shot! eBay and other retailers may have the film for purchase in single sheets...

    Interior is almost done.

    Now you got me thinking some more.... How about just the switch bezels being hydrodipped in the wood grain. The black plastic surrounding the switch itself. Similar to your shifter bezel around the boot and I believe your dash air vents? Just the right amount to break up the monotony. This...

    Interior is almost done.

    I remembered these pics when I towed a mid 90's Grand Marquis and noticed the door panels.... it had interior colored window switches, door locks, and mirror controls. This one was a two tone grey but I wonder if they had them in tan like your theme? I don't really know how well it...

    New Look for a bite

    Some aspects are not my cup of tea, but I can dig it!! What's that yellow painted thing under your frame? What did you use on the flares, bedrails, and other exterior plastics? Yeah how does that mount? Is it rigid enough using just the plate mount? Meaning do the lights bounce and toss...
