2wd or 4x4? I've seen a bunch of kits where they swap in D44ttb parts from similar year F150's into those rangers and make crazy dune hopping pre-runner trucks.

Don't waste your time with a 4.0 when 5.0s are just as cheap/easy to swap in.

i still don't like metric, and i'm talking in general, not just tools. i can tell you pint, quarts, gallons, ounces, but ask me about liters and milliliters or grams and killograms and i'm forking lost with converting it. honestly don't remember being taught much on the metric system in school.

p.s. paul just likes teh metric system cause he's a doper. they measure all their sheot with metric scales :flipoff2:
