Well, I've decided to do it - send the ole '88 Ranger to Trail Boss Offroad so they can have at 'er. Right after the Memorial Day weekend it goes in for some much needed work. Gonna start by having them go through the mechanicals - engine, tranny, axles, brakes, etc, and when that's all satisfactory, gonna replace the rear axle with a early '90's Ranger 8.8" 31-spline rear-end and put in a Detroit Locker. After that, give it a 4" suspension lift and 33" tires on new rims. If there's any money left then I'll look at some performance enhancements - maybe air induction would be a good place to start, and not expensive. And maybe, just maybe, some fender flares, bigger bumper, winch, etc etc, oops don't think the budget will allow for all that right now. All in time. Oh, I suppose I should get the passenger door fixed, it's kinda crushed from when I rolled the rig on it's side.
So, two more weeks and it's off to the good doctor Omar and company at Trail Boss Offroad. Woohoo! I'm looking forward to this!
