its great to see the feedback. Rockcrawler! man i used to read your build thread all the time till i lost the link! haha, i always thought your rig was awesome. cept for the muddy motor, sounds like it turned out the way you wanted. RangerDave, what rig is that going under? and i was reading the oth...

who all is still out there? this place has gotten pretty slow nowadays.. :(

what projects are yall into? planning on starting?

thanks for the link! im gonna look into that. actually, most of the yards around here are really cheap. but they mostly have chevy/jeep/dodge parts, very few fords :( (thats a good thing, but it sucks for me haha) i can get any complete front/rear end for $85. thats even with them pulling the axles ...

yeah, looked for the 146 also, they just dont have anything. the only standard tranny's that anyone had were fullsize fords and s-10's no rangers or anything. the 145 lost pretty much all the berings im guessing, lost each gear in just over 7 miles. 5th down. now tranny wont shift to anywhere but fi...

well, i went to the pickandpulls today, with no luck. on the phone they promised that they had what i needed, so i go out there and pay the $4 entry fee at each of the 7 yards i went too. and NOTHING, not one explorer/ranger/aerostar manual transmission! all automatics... how hard is the M5OD-R1 to ...

ok, ive been crunching on all of this in my head for awhile. i know that there will be some pretty "common sense" questions in this post, but im just making sure that MY common sense is actually considered COMMON. i pulled the t-case and FM-145 today and got everything ready for the M5OD t...

thanks dave (still loving that ranger by the way! looks like a beast)

yeah i was thinkin 4:88 was a lil much, but i had 4:10's in my old ranger (R.I.P.) and it still felt like i was lacking in that area.

know of anyone with a set for the 8.8 that there willing to sell?

thanks,

on my 87 BII, DD manual trans. 8inlift on 33x12.50 mt's D28, exploder8.8 i do a bit of highway driving, mostly long distances(maby 400+ miles) about once or twice a month. And like i said, its my DD, so all the other countless miles i put on her. she is geared at 3.73 at the moment, but i think that...

1987 BII. 2.9L 5 speed

well i took my dash apart to inspect the wiring and to relocate my tack. turns out, i found alot more problems than i thought i would... wires disconnected all over the place, wires cut, plugs unplugged, etc... not too suprising, since the previous owner is a mechanical/technical idiot. well i fixed...

hey guys. still waiting on the transmission fund to grow so i can get back on the road. but while it is sitting ive been upgrading, cleaning everything. ive always wondered why it only takes 20 bucks (8/9 gallons) to fill my gas tank when it is obviously not an 8 gallon tank. never really complained...

well... she failed again lol. i was driving to San Antonio and started losing gears one by one. lost 5th/overdrive first. i think it was just the berings. my question is, which transmission is the best bolt in for a 1987 Bii with the 2.9l and what vehicle should i pull it out of? i would like to kee...

hey all. took my Bii out to a local trail the other day, and figured id take some pics. the trails are fairly simple, but still fun. cant wait to get my D35TTi so i can have my 4x4 back. here are some of the better pics. just chillin. http://hphotos-snc1.fbcdn.net/hs148.snc1/5500_1200381655485_14068...

what would cause my driveshaft to start comming loose from the transmission? i recently did an axle swap ( like just finished yesterday and ill have pics up soon). but i also noticed that it would come loose from the diff on the stock axle every now and then. i have a few ideas on how this could hap...

thanks guys, im putting the axle in today, and am just going to cut the wire at the back of the plug and forget about it. thanks for all the input, always good to learn something new.
and thanks for goin out of your way with the photos rangerdave.
