Default Im back!!!

Well guys I've been gone for to long. Got really busy with work/wedding planning/house purchasing. This year is going to be a huge year for my fiance and i. Anyways as some of you know my ranger was a built 2.3 turbo 5spd well back in Oct i started having some issues with its reliabilty out of the blue and kept having to work on it and such so rather then dumping money i purchased a 2008 escape xlt AWD which turned out to be a great purchase considering we got 18" of snow in Jan. So needless to say ranger got parked and after a month or so decided to try to sell it got no real takers after 3months on CL so i ended up selling both of my turbo motors and saving the cash for now and after the house is all finalized and we are in it if i don't have to use that money i am going to put a HO 5.0 auto into the truck and carb it . Enough rambling onto the goodies and i will be coming around more and will start a new build thread when new motor is purchased


the escape in its current state black grill,hi/lo hids, tinted front windows, and powdercoated 20% gloss black asa 20s





and the ranger in its current state after removal

Sold powerplant

before removal and in the snow

That Escape looks sick. It must be the wheels that totally set it off.
