heh, when i first bought mine. me and a buddy who has a 5.0 80 somthing stang raced on what we call the strip. which is basicly a long flat road that no one ever drives on unless they are racing lol. but anyways. the mj was completly stock at the time with the 4.0 only 103k on her. beat him off the line. about half way down he started to pass me. ended up two car lengths infront of me by 1/4 mile. id say she did pretty well. :)

Who got waisted? lol. i don't drink. but if i did this would be one of the days i would. :cheers:

oh, btw thats not actualy my truck. thats the pic i was using for the drawings. :P thats another members truck. i WISH mine was that rust free lol

Not to be a fool here but why would you want to chop somthing that looks so damn good lifted. :nuts: you know...lifting isnt everybody's thing. why not show em what it coulda looked like? personaly i like the looks of a dropped manche better then a lifted one. But, I'm not saying i didnt want to lift mine and put 33's under it at one time. and I'm also not saying ive never gotten it stuck in a couple mud pits either :P

LOL mitch...now that actualy was funny lol

here, this is for your son :) this is what his mj COULD be! modified the picture myself :) its what i do in my spare time.

lol...wow

nah, its no problem. here is another basic idea of what i want my mj to look like. thats without a bumper. i havnt decided what to do there yet. notice the rear wheel well. :) ive always liked closed wheel wells. so i think I'm gonna try to use it.

ah, i see the problem lol. here: different grills. prolly newer versions

Mj's are 10 slot

eh, i would rather stay true to the mj grill a little :P

here's a rough drawing of what i wanna fab for a hood. all one peice. :D

hey, could you take some pics of how you did the body drop? i need details and ideas on how i wanna do mine. i can't picture in my mind where to cut and then how to re-attach. Thanks.

wow, thats awesome! thanks alot for sharing. ill use this for sure.

Pete, i think you outa set yourself a couple more moderators. i think its only you and eagle right? the forums are getting big enough now that you may need some help. give some people a job to do on the site or somthing. I'm willing to help out for the good of the club. :) just ask if you need somthing done. and i know any of the members would be happy to do it(if its in there power).

man, you shoulda done the front clip conversion for the newer smoother look.

GREAT! nice mj's man. Welcome to the club. I'm sure you will find somthing usefull here :)

ifs isnt a bad idea, i need new rims anyways. and the wheel wells are not a problem. ill have to look into that.

hmm, ok this is kinda a newbie question. but explain a static drop please :P i geuss my only problem right now is how many inches to actualy drop it. like for instance. how much will a 4" block actualy lower the back end of the truck? i should have mentioned this earlier but I'm pretty new to the lowered truck "scene" :P but, its all very interesting to me. so I'm willing to learn all i can.

wow, that rust may even be worse then mine :P MAYBE.

Great looking truck. i love those wheels. :bowdown: Oh, whats your plans for the dash?

hmmm, interesting. so what if i use blocks with ladders? or do you even think they are needed? not that I'm gonna torc it much, but its fun to roast em every once and a while :)

BTW, what year rangers are we talking? my mj is a 90, does it matter? I'm sorry i ask so many questions i like learning about these things. :)

oh I'm sorry, i was confused. i was talking about using ranger leaf springs. but its good to know that the coils will work with it. so, houw about ranger leaf springs? will they work ot lower the back or should i build a pack using the mj main leaf and jsut using some softer leafs? EDIT: jsut saw petes post. won't blocks hurt the stability? it seems like they wouldnt lower it much either.

Next question. what to do with the front? how should i drop that? is it safe to cut the springs? what are the pros/cons? or can i use lowering springs from another application?
