    4D56 A Perfect Swap?

    Go tdi…. It’s a better engine. And you can have something with real power. I have a Mercedes om617 diesel in my bronco II and I really couldn’t imagine something with less power in it’s place lol ps this is a old thread and the people are probably long gone….

    Oh yeah haha luckily just a lockout. I’ve read mile marker lockouts are not the best quality but idk I wasn’t nice to theses ones. I think I’ll buy a set of warns and see how they last.

    Well got my fold down table on, moved the fire extinguisher around. Grill fits on it but it is a little small. Should work well enough! lock tightened the transmission to call box nuts. They keep coming loose for some reason. But zip tied a few things. Besides some camping stuff it’s ready for...

    Well that was harder than I hoped. My tent I ordered still hasn’t shipped yet. It’s bigger than this one, but I decided to take the boys out this weekend so I pulled the tent off the ranger, had to move the T rails on the tent. But it’s bolted down and airing out. I pulled the diesel heater out...

    Well I got it installed this morning. Turned out good I think. I was thinking about getting it powder coated but I had some paint and didn’t want to wait.

    I just used angle iron to tie in to the factory mounts. It feels sturdy. When I get my tent we’ll see I guess. On one of the facebook groups a guy just bolted them down to the factory cross bars lol tying them together with the drip rails I hope will be enough. I guess we’ll see! Yes I did build...

    Ps, I built the last roof rack when I was in high school and didn’t cover the glass then and screwed it up then. lol so no hurting it this time. It wasn’t worth trying to cover it. I already messed it up. Didn’t know any better back then.

    Well got a very good start on the roof rack. Pulled my old one off, I’m pretty sure it’s twice the weight….. this one should be around 40 pounds right now. I’m using the gutter mounts and the factory roof rack mounts. It should hold a tent nicely! Used my old b2 body to build off of. Worked...

    Well last night I drove it a little more highway driving. To an off-road club in a town south of me. I clamped the waste gate pressure line shut. Hoping it would get boost to where I think it should be. And it did the trick, it maintained boost better, I could build more nothing crazy, up to 12...

    Well been mostly just been playing with things. Fuel tank started leaking and I drove it around for a week and it was only down to 1/2 a tank. I thought the gauge wasn’t reading right. It was haha cleaned out my other tank, got the tanks swapped. Decided I really need to get my EGT and boost...

    I love my ranger but this is why I needed something bigger. Took my two boys to town today to do a few errands. B2 for the win!
