curios to ask what rad did you place in there? or what one are you going to use?

If it was stated, i missed the post, but did see one (mocked) or placed in a while back.

I bought a radiator and electric fan from a local speed shop. let me see if I can dig an old picture of it up when we set it in for mock up. I can get the specs off it and post tomorrow for you as well.

I know you have to engine set in place, but could the engine sit lower so the intake won't interfere with the hood? Just curious. I would love to see this as a sleeper.

 

[bodied91ranger]

We got it as low as we could. Main reason it’s sticking outta the hood is because the truck is body dropped 3 inches so when it’s air ride is empty it lays the rocker panels on the ground. If it wasn’t body dropped I’m pretty sure it would fit under the hood the way it is. Thanks for commenting looking forward to more comments and ideas.

Didn't know about the body drop. I must have missed that. No matter. It's still cool as all get.

Man I really really appreciate your compliments man. So many thousand hours in this project over a 4 year window. With the love of my family. My buddy who is building with me and the ranger station community it’s all coming together in the home stretch.

Can't wait to see the YouTube startup and tire shred videos. It gives me inspiration to work on mine that has been sitting for a bit.
