Sweet truck dude!

So you fabbed that bumper up yourself? I'm still trying to make up my mind what kind of bumper I want on my truck. Your Ranger is a 4.0 then? Better keep an eye on your motor, might dissapear some night and reappear in my 90 BII... Just by accident of course! :D :icon_thumby: lol

You probably never heard this, cuz you've never had a reason to look into a 4.0 swap, but a 4.0 from a 1990 ranger is a plug n' play swap on a 1990 BII. Would love to find a 90 4.0 ranger as a donor vehicle lol.

Anyway, some nice work in this build man!

If you weren't halfway across the country, I'd probably be very interested.

I like that bumper a lot... Gonna do something similar(ish) for mine I think

FYI....You should try to NEVER run power & ground cables together in the same loom/sheath/conduit. Also, it isnt a good idea to zip tie battery cables either - they tend to cut into the jacketing over time.

I'm not saying its gonna happen but you are setting the stage for a "thermal event" should time/vibration take over and short them.
