It's a 1982 Enticer short track 340. It had a snow dragster track lift on it before but I started using it for trail rides and all the positive pressure on the skis made it really suck. It has a custom seat and hitch on it. It weighs all of 300lbs so it really hauls with the tuned carb I put in it. I got it for $50 with the hood just recently repaired as you can see in the pics and all I had to make were those steel screen hood vents you see. I like that little rig almost as much as my Ranger.

dude, i just looked up that grille insert and those are like 110 bucks! Thats insane! its just a couple pieces of metal!

 

[MountainMike]

Yeah they a little pricey but it came on the truck. The fit and finish of this insert is just superb. They make inserts for so many vehicles and apparently they only have like 12 poeple in that company and ship all over Canada that I know of. It has a little seal around the outside of it and attaches and detaches so simply (well no mine, kind of mickey-moused on. Involves removing the grille like in the pic). The powdercoated ones look cool but they are twice as much!

I don't have an in with them I swear

As you all know I have a Cloud-Rider grille insert on my truck. Great product and recommend it to everyone.

It looks awesome but it was missing something and I wasn't sure what until I walked through Canadian Tire tonight. And tomorrow morning I'll be putting the new and improved insert on that went from this...

To this

I think it looks way better. And the decals came in a 2 pack so I have another one handy.

nice grillz yo!!!

 

[MountainMike]

Haha, I was waiting for you to finally say it

 

[mn_smokeater]

nice cord hangers too!!!

 

[MountainMike]

Yeah the battery blanket cable wasnt long enough to reach the main junction so I had to temp rig it. And by that I mean all winter long.

I'm really not crazy about that grill insert. It might be because that grill/front end is my favorite out of any year ranger. I love that grill stock

No I mean I wanted to run the cable behind the grille but it was cold when I got it all set up so it is staying outside on the Lightforces until it warms back up

Sorry I haven' posted lately the Ranger was chapping my ass but it's back alive again. I threw fuel filter, plugs, wires, and O2 sensors at it. I noticed both a power and economy boost. Turns out my rings had shifted in the #1 cylinder and were allowing a little oil up. That made the plug oil foul so I have to change that one out at 20K. Not a permanent fix but dang close.

Will post up some new pics soon by while you're here check out my youtube channel.

Your old radiator shroud looks like mine. To be honest, I never knew what it was supposed to look like.
