1 ton, caged ranger


That looks like a mess man. Cage looks good though. Good luck on the wiring!
 
I like that starter button :icon_thumby:

This makes me want to do an exo. But the interior ones look so much better.
Keep it up. It is lookin' good.
 
Thanks guys, I have to pull everything out of the way and take my seat out to grind and paint the cage
 
Are you putting the stock dash back in? Why no 4x4? The switch looks gone in the picture.
 
the dash came out in chunks so no, and I put the switch back in and it still dosnt work. I must be missing plug somewhere but if I can't figure it out in goes a manual tcase
 
Has to be something simple. Got any buddies with skillz in wiring?

What made the dash fall apart?

What made the dash fall apart?

The guy I built it with has a tig welder, so eventually I am going to build an aluminum dash. I don't know anyone that likes wiring trucks, I may end up seeing if I can find a shop to wire it for me. That is how much I hate wiring.

And the dash was broken apart by me, partly because of frustration and partly because the inner fiberglass part of it wont come out with the windshield in.
 
Looks like you're off to a good start. Hope ya get the hold up taken care of.
 
I dont mind wiring but medfords a little bit of a drive. Now if i was working in my shop in GP id swing over and help ya.

Ya it has to be something stupid simple. Check and recheck the grounds.
 
right now I think I have a couple of plugs reversed, but when it comes time to build a aluminum dash with all new gauges, that is what I don't want to wire...
 
The start of the SAS, today I cut the crossmember off of my f350 and am going to cut it down for the front of my ranger. I also went shopping and bought a bunch of cut off wheels, and I cut the bumper brackets off of my ranger. Plan is to weld on the new crossmember tomorrrow.

EDITED: List of things to get/do:
Figure out drivelines
High Steer Linky
Upgraded master cylinder
maybe a saginaw box
Hummer take off tires
And I think that is about it

I just did some measuring and found out there is no way that I can run the springs in boarded in the front, so I just ordered 4 4in 1/4in offset shackles and I am going to run the brackets off the side of the frame.
 
ya my leaf sas i had to offset my hangers and shackle mounts to work. Are you doing shackle forward or in back? I hope back.
