WTB, Ranger coil/shock buckets. I think B2 and Explorer are the same maybe?
I'm doing some spring mods and need to modify my spring buckets. I would like to do this with out tearing the truck apart and miss a wheeling trip.
I can go to Pull and Save but it is hard to find the time to get away from the house without having my 3 YO kid with me. BTW, at a yard like that do they cut things like that off or how?

Rich, they're a pull it yourself style yard... there's a few around that are really good. I'd suggest Colorado Auto and Salvage off Santa Fe and Oxford, as they're free to get in and have a wider selection in their yard that hasn't been picked over 20x over. In fact, when I was there a couple weeks ago, they had a silver 94 Ranger with almost everything on it still, suspension was complete, just missing the bulk of the interior.

Western has a few donor candidates as well.
If you can beg or borrow a cordless saw-zall, it would probably be much easier.

That's the fun part, I think about how hard it would be in my garage with all my tools. Out in the dirt without electricity or air...

OK, maybe new direction.
WTB, TTB Explorer. Bad tranny and rust would be good. I need the 31 spline rear diff, spare axles, coil buckets and drive shafts so I think it would be a good thing to buy a complete Explorer and part out what I need.
Please keep your eyes open. TIA

I dont have the axles You desire i was thinkin Id use the winpy one I have under My trailer if possible because I thrashed the current one stripped all the studs out of the hub no way to fix this one too old to get parts so if i have to weld new spring perches might as well get the cheepest one I can find .IE! the one in My garage ???

I would take the buckets if you pull them. I will modify them to fit my springs and get them in for the next run.

Im not even going to consider pulling front end parts till I get the engine out .and I hadnt planned on pulling them iffin You want them you'd have to do the dirty work.:whistle:
Everything depends on Rich Morrison He has My hoist .I wonder how far along He is with the 4.0 swap into His BII.:dontknow:
