Frame change

[DSD]

Just some fyi that I ran into so far doing a complete frame change from a 2008 ranger 4x2 for a 2010 4x4 which is totally wrecked ..The tow hooks are not there and need backing plates welded and holes drilled,there is no support for front diff that needs to be removed from 2010 frame and welded on 2008.. also the rear body mounts are different their bolted down from the bottom with a nut instead of from up top using a bolt so you don't have to remove the rear seats,so those also need to be changed .I also hope this is not the wrong spot to post this .If there is anything else I should look out for please post Thanks.First pic is the 2010 frame second is removed and welded tow hooks and diff support on 2008 frame

Difference more

I think I got this thread in the wrong spot...but some more difference on the 2010 frame verse the 2008 frame ,it seems that they added two link bar reinforcement brackets on the frame that had to be removed from the 2010 and welded on the 2008,The first pic is of my picker removing the cab,,the second is the 2010 frame with all the parts removed and the 2008 parts put on,,this third one is of the 2008 frame with all 2010 parts now in place,,,The forth is these brackets that i had to cut off the 2010 frame and weld onto the 2008 ,they must be a strengthening block for the extra size link bar..here they are welded on now ready to put cab back on...
