Default Hello from western wi

Hey yall, This is Pete. Im from western wisconsin. I own a 87 ford ranger, regular cab long box with the 2.9l v6 5 spd manual and 4x4. I got my truck in 2004 as a 16th bday gift from my dad. it needed some love but after a short time (and me wrecking my dads 88 bronco 2) it was ready. it needed clutch work and a different transmission (thanks to by dads truck) ive been fixing it up since then. most of it was neglect from the previous owner.

I resiliently dyno-ed the truck and final shut up alot of people who judge the truck on appearance alone. 124hp and 186 ftlb torque from stock motor.

my goal is to do a full body off restoration and upgrade the drivetrain. including a ford 351w interceptor crate engine, 6 spd heavy duty manual, heavy duty electric transfer case, custom difs with cv shafts to the hubs, installing rear disk breaks, 4 corner 12 inch adjustable suspension, and many interior upgrades.

yes i know i sound crazy and alot of it will be custom done.

About me: I am a auto tech by trade, i wish i had more time (and a place)to go off roading. and always wish i had more money to upgrade my truck.
