RaceRangers Build

[3.0ranger1227]

Have you figured how much you are going to have to stiffen the front end to compensate for the extra weight of the 4.0? Just thought about it because of how stuffed those tires are into the fenders with the 4pop... and I am too lazy to search through your build for the answer.

He should be on the bumps right there, that should be normal.

hydraulic bump stops are the S***

Yeah I def. need to stiffin up the front, it was actually too soft even with the 4cyl. I'll have to pull the shocks apart and see what valving isin them and go from there.

Adding/Re-doing some interior stuff.

Added door bars:

also finished the exhaust and scanned the motor for codes.

I can't seem to find a pic of it, but I have tubing going from each side of the cage through my trans hump with tabs welded for the seats. Harness is bolted to the same tubing. The shoulder harnesess will be going through my back window to the cage soon.

Lawn dart? You mean nose dive into the sand.

lol exactly

Ok thanks for looking. Can you snap a picture when you do the shoulder mounts for me?

Will do!

I spent some time trying to smog it. No CE codes anymore but I get the computer ready to put on the machine because it needs to be driven around for while but it is non-op'd and a cop magnet. Drove it around the block a few times but not all the monitors are set yet. gunna have to keep driving it and try again another day.

 

[RaceRanger97]

Passed smog with flying colors. Might have it on the street soon
