That bumper is huge!
Yeah it is pretty big but I think it will look a lot better once I can mount a winch inside it with a lead coming out the center. It came on the truck when I got it but it seems pretty functional.
if you havent nicknamed it yet....i think dozer would be appropriate.
nice!
the 4.0 swap will be great
the 5.0 swap is more money than worth IMO...
now the ecoboost, go for it! now!
Seems to me that the 4.0 swap is more trouble than it's worth. The electrical would be a night mare, while the 5.0 would be a breeze in comparison.
Just sayin'.
Now the ecoboost, that would be a worthy project.
I know where I can get an explorer 5.0 (gt40), transmission, and transfer case... The problem comes in I don't want to buy the JD adapter, what I want to know is if I can just use explorer tranny and transfer case and just get driveshafts to fit and fab a new tranny crossmember. The reason I want to do this is because I have a set of early bronco axles dana 44 and ford 9" so it really would be a perfect combo! If I could find a decent price on an ecoboost and 4x4 transmission I would def do it, but I need to wait till the price drops alittle.
Man, if you can get a 5.0 drivetrain, i'd jump all over that. The only thing you'll need is motor mounts and driveshafts for the drivetrain, and a computer from an '89 f-150 with a 5.0. Add 2 new wires for the fuel injectors (they're batch fired, so you just need to splice in an extra wire per side) and go on down the road.
