Is the front clip removable on a 2003 Ranger? I’m wanting to do a diesel conversion to it and it would be great if I could remove the clip for access purposes so I can build and hook up everything.

The front valance panel is spot welded to the engine compartment sides which are spot welded to the cab.

So, while fenders, hood, grill will remove, you'll still be stuck working around sheet metal.

Darn. Anybody got any pictures of just the front with the panels attached?
