This 1997 Ford Ranger is Full of Relentless Determination - Four Wheeler Network

Welds crack, axles break, and sheetmetal gets dented over the years. However, Dave Barry just sees this as an opportunity to take what he has learned and make his Ford Ranger even better. Dave bought his Ranger new off the lot in 1997 and has been upgrading it ever since. That has included two TTB lift kits (before he swapped in a Dana 44) and a few different link setups with the solid front axle. "1-tons and 40s would be great," Dave admits. "But honestly, the fact that the front half of the truck is still full-bodied and I drive it to and from the trails keeps me from going any further with it. ". Given where Dave takes his truck now, we can only imagine what it would look like if he... Vehicle: 1997 Ford Ranger. Owner: Dave Barry. Transfer case(s): BW1354. Low range ratio: 2. 48:1.
