(see instructions) The Ford Ranger is both the official vehicle of TikTok and 70-year-olds everywhere who just want an honest pick-me-up. Even with its place in meme culture and hardware store parking lots, it’s an unusual kind of enthusiast platform — especially the third generation. At least one owner is treating it that way, though, and he built perhaps the tastiest example on or off the road.
It’s a 1998 Ford Ranger XLT with the 2.5-liter four-cylinder and M5R1 manual transmission. Again, the original specification is nothing special, but owner Stephen Weglarz has turned it into something special with meaningful mods. After buying it off Craigslist in 2012 with about 112,000 miles on the odometer, it has gone through it all the way to 188,000 miles. These changes start with the suspension and go far beyond.

. “Keep it functional and make sure it looks good, ideally with some chrome and other retro accents.
On the front is a mid-travel kit from BTF Fabrication. It wears Fox Racing 2.0 shocks and provides about 10 inches of travel—still short of a new F-150 Raptor, but way better than stock, I promise. The rear is suspended by Deaver F31 leaf springs in conjunction with Fox Racing 2.0 flat body shocks. Thanks in part to extra lift spindles, Weglarz says the front is seven inches taller than stock, and the rear is about four inches taller.
The stance is pulled together by 33-inch Yokohama Geolandars and those wide wheels, which Weglarz calls “Facebook’s wicked find”. They are 15- by 10-inch Eagle Alloy Series 117 rollers that appear to be discontinued. They make the most of that 90s sports truck he envisions, along with the Faction Fab spare tire carrier, Go Rhino sports bars and fog lights in the bed.
Look inside and you’ll see rich brown Tanaka seats and a Hurst short thrower. That’s another thing you don’t see every day in Ranger. What you wouldn’t know if you weren’t told is that there’s an additional layer of sound deadening below, which corresponds to the bass cabinet built into the rear of the cab. . It must be a very quiet ride when you’re not banging gears or hitting subs.

Everything has taken time to do the right way. Weglarz says the front suspension alone was a 60-hour job, and the frame has been completely repainted. That’s the privilege of being in a vehicle for just over ten years; over time, you can make a lot of progress if you are persistent.
There’s more to come, especially since Weglarz is a 2019 Ranger every day these days. That gives him more freedom to go on the ’98 and build his drivetrain next. You can expect the engine to be modified with the same overall concept in mind before too long, at which point its speed will match its simple style. Rough Country’s 5in suspension lift!
