sup everyone my name is morgan. im a college student in sacramento, ca. since high school ive been building a 2wd ford ranger. shes become quite the ride for a lil 2wd. trying to get out of the ranger/prerunner scene and build a crawler. im now looking for a vehicle with a little more space and a little more capability. looking at late 80s and early 90s 4runners. possibly 96 and later ones for the 3.4 over the lousey 3.0. my plans are as follows..

trail gear leaf spring SAS
heim steering
5.29 gears
lockers at some point
35-36s
trail gear or marlin crawler bumpers/sliders front and rear and sides lol
a nice system, probably 2 12s.
and some lights! always a fan of lights..

heres a few pics of my ranger, currently for sale. hope to learn alot here! thanks!
