Hi all.

[Pholmann]

Hi there. My name is Patrick. I am big into hardcore rock crawling and trail riding as well. I have a ton ranger, a 2000 7.3 super dooky, and my wife has a lifted sport trac. Here is a pic or two of my ranger.

Your truck looks awesome.

Did you make that bumper?

 

[Jsommers]

Oh and welcome to the forums. Lol

 

[Pholmann]

Yes sir I did. Took 3 days. Cut it all out with a plasma cutter after making paper templates for each piece. Then welded it all up inside and out and ground all the outside smooth. It has a 1/4" plate for the winch plate. The rest is built out of 1/8" steel.

Oh and thanks about the truck. Lots of time and a little bit of $$$

Hooray for 7.3 powerchokes! I've got three myself.

Thanks for the compliments and thanks for the welcome. Is this a regional forum or is it a nationwide type thing? I live in East Tennessee. Love to hear where everyone is from.

PFFFFFFF.

We are world-wide. US, Canadia, Honduras, Panama, we even occasionally get a stray Thailander or two.

There is a regional section down the main page though.

Welcome to the forums! With that truck you'll definitely fit in!

Thanks for the compliments. I've been trying to find a little time to build an exo cage but sickness in the family has unfortunately had to be the main agenda lately. Ill get back to it when everything settles down. Also having some overheating issues. How common are head gaskets on ohv 4.0's? I'm an auto mechanic and I have personally never seen one pop a head gasket. The truck itself has like 230,000 miles on it. I was going to try radiator first. Any thoughts??
