This isnt my ranger it is my brothers. this was a budget build and used spare parts laying around to put together and works great :headbang: started out as just a cheep winter beater so my brother didnt have to deal with cold starting his f350 deisel, and keep it out of the salt we have on our...

hey guys, i have been slow with my build >.< but here is a bit of an update and some pictures. I have welded my coil buckets onto the frame and mounted my spring seats onto the radius arms so i can jack it onto its own weight (kinda). ive got the steering box mocked up where it should be...

Over all wheel base is going to be 105 roughly is where it looks happy with 38" tires. Getting some 1/4" plate this week to make some frame brackets, build the frame side track bar bracket and tie all that into my imaginary engine crossmember. Got a chunk of 1/2" plate that I will be notching...

Radius arms are welded together and also put a bend in them for tire clearance. Because the stock radius arms are cast steal We made sure to heat them up till they were blue before bonding to the dom.

Well guys I've been gettin antsy to get wheelin so been working on the explorer. 79d60 fits perfect , ride height will allow 38" tire and will have around 7-9" up travel for nice cuison trail rider. I got my johny joints, Dom tubing and couple other odds and ends last week to build my radius...

Early bronco wedges don't work on a later d60 te diff is too close to the knuckle

Frame is cleaned up and almost ready to start burning material on(need to go Buy still) centered the axle and found where it should be. Drive shaft is questionable but I should beable to work it out. I'm wishing a 78-79 d60 housing wasn't so hard to find orelse driveshaft would be dead nuts and...

Well started some chopping, for you low budget guys I found a sawsal works great for cutting brackets off the frame. It's nicer than a torche of a plasma cutter because it doesn't tamper the metal and make it hard to grind.

Well I honestly haven't gotten much done lately, been busy working to provide money for the build. I scored a 9" 3rd member with 513 gears and a Detroit locker for a good deal this week. I barily even paid for the Detroit locker.

Well I've got alot of work ahead of me, have been collecting parts for a while now. I will be building my 1995 explorer sport 5 speed. I will be swapping in a Dana 60 front( converted to 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern and also possible narrowed use a 79 Dana 60 axle shaft on the passenger side)and a 9"...
