How do i make my 1998 ford ranger sound good?

Mudding in a 1998 ford ranger?

  • i have a completely stock 1998 ford ranger 3.0L v-6. what kind of upgrades would you suggest for me to make to make this truck ready for some muddin

  • Answer:

    1. lift kits. you need the height to go boggin' 2. extra lubes and oil. those axles are gonna get filled and comtaminated with water. after you go boggin, drain, clean, and fill. they also have vent tubes on the so you need to make them longer. 3. winch. you will get stuck, if your alone (only 1 truck), you can winch out. 4. tires and wheels. you need some mud slingers. big lugs to throw that mud off and keep those tires free from mud. enjoy

Best place to buy tires is Summitracing.com They have awesome prices, i just got some 33X13.5X15 Super Swamper LTB's for my explorer, $186 ea. shipped. Got them in two-days. Thats a great price shipped. I would just get some basic mods, a Ranger is an awesome truck to offroad in. Mainly, you need tires!!!!! Thats 90% of it right there. Lift is second. I would get a 2-3in lift. You dont need a 302 to go mudding either. The V6 is plenty strong and awesomely reliable. I would get me a strap and some basic hand tools to. Go to tractor supply or Wal*Mart and get you some hologen lights for the grill. Thats going to help you alot when your on a trail at night. AND KEEP SOME FLASHLIGHTS IN YOUR TRUCK!!!!! Trust me. I would stay out of deep creeks and mudd until you could get you a snorkel kit, you DO NOT want to hydrolock your engine, you will be replacing it if you do.

Things that would make you almost unstoppable in the mud 5.0 liter V8 6 inches of suspension lift 35 inch Super Swampers or even better, some type of tractor tires Lockable front and rear differentials Short Ring and Pinion gearing lots of tools and spare parts for when you break things like axles and what not. lots of new fluids and fresh grease RECOVERY GEAR (for when you are truly stuck) a raised intake (snorkel) and protected electronics (ignition boxes and stuff) friends

lift kit and tires just to start with, i think for the 4 inch plus, you needed a diffrent drive shaft for that truck. not 100% but in acouple of the petersons 4 wheel and off road mags, i seen like some 6 inch lifts rangers and they had aftermarket driveshafts. i would get a 3 or 4 inch lift and put some 32s or maybe 33 inch mud tires on it and see how you like that. i would not get any bigger than 33s on that stock ifs system

A Lift kit and bigger tires will be a must. After this some aftermarket skid plates to keep you afloat and to protect the undercarriage. Depending on how extreme you are thinking of going a snorkel and some extra windshield washing Equipment may also be in order.
