Ford Ranger Forum - Forums for Ford Ranger enthusiasts!

Hello Everyone,

My name is Randy and I live in Jamestown, California (45 miles east of Modesto). I am 26 years old and I am a full time student (17 units), I am majoring in Automotive Technology and I am currently taking the Engine Performance segment at Columbia College. My hobbies are working on my Mustang, Ranger and 280Z. Music is also a passion of mine and I am working on learning how to play guitar. Currently my musical skills are limited to Vocals but that will be short lived. I enjoy gaming when I have free time and I am a talented writer and poet.

I have a dream to eventually work for myself and open up a shop that builds quality off the wall custom cars that are practical. Yes, sounds odd but I am not for the monitor headlight mods, or mods that utilize 10 monitors and giant subwoofers everywhere. I like unique modifications that look factory but are unique.

I have a 1993 Ford Ranger XLT with a 2.3L equipped with a M5OD-R1. Modifications include:1997 Explorer rear axle with a 3.73 axle ratio, SN95 New Edge Mustang 5 spoke Wheels with crappy chrysler 300c tires (only temporary, got the whole package for cheap) and a Tow package. Interior modifications include: 1995 SN95 cloth Bucket seats, 1993 Explorer center console, 1994 Explorer Gauges with tach.

Future Mods include: 1997 front twin piston brakes will be done in a couple of weeks. axle flip or drop the front end about 1.5 inches. SHO 3.0 Swap with a M5OD-R1HD, power windows with the controls mounted where the coin tray is on the center console, digital HVAC control mod with the HVAC ( A/C added after the SHO swap). Either shave the SN95 seats or find a set of Escort GT seats. Power mods will be light because I even have more plans for my 1996 Mustang GT.
