Someone reply to me quick if you can. I have an 02 ford ranger 2wd. I want to put a set of ranch rs5000 on it. I want to put bigger rims on it too after the lift. Would this be a bad idea? These trucks are cool project trucks imo, and I was just wanting it for it to sit higher and it will handle and pull better. I have a 3.0l but I might install a turbo so it won't stress that much. I'm kinda new to all of this so let me know
No this is a great idea! The Ranger (Mazda) is the next iconic 4X4 IMO (like Toyota)...lol. Go to ranger forums, join and search...you'll find everything, with pics and expert advice from tons of owners that have done it all before ;-)
TheSigp220 33's with 410s would be more ideal. The 2010 fx4's didn't come with a limited slip diff, so that's the first thing I would do if I were you.
I have 4.73 in my blue step side but its a 3.0 so it needs the extra help. looks fun tho man! I just did a full suspension kit and added lift to the factory high boy kit so I can fit 35s on mine=) is she still running strong?
Even just a LSD or locker in the rear would have made a big difference. I've had a Bronco with 4x4 LSD in 2WD that would out traction a F-150 exactly the same but in 4x4 no LSD.
I think the problem was he goes back like 2cm, you gotta reverse it a bit more and then get a running start on a new little path, it almost rocked itself back and forth into getting high centered looked like. Gotta watch it in the deep powder.
Hmmm I wonder if you could do that to a 93 Ford Ranger to. I am considering moving out in a rural area, where a mile of dirt road is unplowed. I am pretty inexperienced with winter snow driving. I might have to do my own plowing eventually. LOL
That depends on how deep the snow is. You want very wide tires if its super deep snow so that you float on top instead of sinking in and high centering.
You probably don't have much experience with snow like this? Your suggestion makes sense for traction on packed snow on top of pavement. When going in powder like this you want as much contact area as possible to avoid having the frame and diffs sinking and getting bogged down in the snow cover.
Should’ve put chains on back it would’ve walked through it and sweet ranger dude
How much air was in the tires. And what suspension. I want to put 35s on my ranger. Just wondering how much clearance i need. Engine 3.0 or 4.0?
Deflate
Fat tires suck in snow.

I have a 03 2wd Tacoma Prerunner it’s never had a problem blowing thru snow just more momentum and good deer tires and some weight and your good
locker would help!
What size lift and any rubbing issues?
Shit! That thing can chew! Awsomeness.
gotta love danger rangers lol
Do you have to regear for 35" tires? I just bought a 2010 4.0 fx4 sport with a 410 rear end. Also, what forums do you use?
TheSigp220 33's with 410s would be more ideal. The 2010 fx4's didn't come with a limited slip diff, so that's the first thing I would do if I were you.
what size of lift do you have?
nice truck man
Just have 4.10 gears does good in 4 low has plenty in high range 2 running down highway. I'm not part of any forums
Wray Sirles was that the stock gears or did you put 4.10s in?

The snow in the vid was hard enough to walk on top
what you have for lift,looking to go 35s on identical truck
3" body lift with 3" blocks on rear and torsion bars cranked all the way up, nothing special.
that is a 3.0 isn't it
Wade Berry
Where did u bought it body lift?
Curious why just chains in the front and not the back also?
Hell yeah
great truck. needs front and rear lockers for those slopes tho :D
Even just a LSD or locker in the rear would have made a big difference. I've had a Bronco with 4x4 LSD in 2WD that would out traction a F-150 exactly the same but in 4x4 no LSD.
what lift do you have? looking for a similar setup on mine
3 inch body and blocks/ torsion
What stuff should I put on my ranger (the exterior)
Take those mud flaps off please.
dudelivestrong it’s a requirement in some states. Can get ticketed if you don’t have them.
@@JordanAhughes put the stock mud flaps on
i normally run 4 chains on it just didn't have them all on yet
I think the problem was he goes back like 2cm, you gotta reverse it a bit more and then get a running start on a new little path, it almost rocked itself back and forth into getting high centered looked like. Gotta watch it in the deep powder.
You need drag radials for snow like this.
mickey thompsons
No 215 x 70 x 13 used would fly threw that like nothin.
Beauty truck and wicked video buddy! I wonder if it would help with some rear chains and some weight in the backend?
How do the those tires do without chains?
how much would a lift kit like that cost?
1300
Is it just me or does it look like its got an open rear diff? I put a lsd out of a mustang in my 2wd... makes a world of difference in the snow.
I broke the lsd In my ranger. Idk know but i did
stock axles, lockers??
What engine is in that? And if it’s the 4.0, is it the OHV or the SOHC
Sick!! Love it
Are you trying to rescue someone?
Good way to burn up a ford 5r44e transmission they don't like long periods of high rpms it will fry those belts
2000 Ford Ranger 4x4 didn't have the 5 speed auto. If it's the 3.0 it's got the 4R44, 4.0 had the 4R55. But you are correct on frying them.
if you would have put in low range it would have crawled out of there with no problem it would have locked and squat
what are your wheel specs looking to do the same thing to my truck ..identical to yours
I have I 01 4.0 on 245 BF Goodrich AT’s it goes through snow deeper than this like nothing. Ditch those wide mud tires.
Backing up more would be smart
Then the vid would be 3 secs was playing
Put the chains on the back tires! That might help lol
You want your chains on the tires that pull the vehicle
Has a 4.0
Hmmm I wonder if you could do that to a 93 Ford Ranger to. I am considering moving out in a rural area, where a mile of dirt road is unplowed. I am pretty inexperienced with winter snow driving. I might have to do my own plowing eventually. LOL
Where can I get those mud flaps? They looks awesome!
Get rid of that 7.5 rearend they is junk
its an 8.8 with an open diff
.....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand another headgasket. xD
And timing chains from what I have read
Your supposed to a little bit more gentle with chains in all fairness
That was lame. MT don't mean MS.... way 2 different tires. Now you know, MT blows in a snow.
-2 miles per gallon lol
nice view! where that at, I'm up north Michigan!
you gotta go slow when using chains lolol
need thinner tires so they cut into they snow. not lay on top
That depends on how deep the snow is. You want very wide tires if its super deep snow so that you float on top instead of sinking in and high centering.
Your absolutely correct Austin Flynn. Tall and narrow would do the job much better as long as the snow isn't 4 feet seep like it's not in this video.
Tacoma would of made it
Money seeker... would “have” made it, you’re welcome.
Get a Tacoma
need thinner tires so they cut into they snow. not lay on top
not at all what you want when the snow is this deep. you want wide and lower the PSI so you float on top of it.

furnace3 bruh, that’s a lil more than a foot
