Mike's '93 4x4

[Andres629]

Nah, it SHOULD have the bigger rad... I had a non-A/C Expo and it had the bigger twin core rad, butI guess it could have been swapped by the PO. Are you moving the rad down to accommodate the body lift, or just leaving it? The one in my Ranger is still in stock location and so far I've had zero problems with overheating (unless of course I'm doing unnecessary baggin'...)

 

[MountainMike]

I'm just going to leave it in place. I haven't had any overheating issues with it up there.

So I stumbled across this F-150 tonight, if I decide to keep this Ranger for a while I may eventually go for a respray. I want to paint it just like this truck, blue flame metallic over charcoal.

 

[Andres629]

I love that color. There's another color... Kona Blue Pearl I think it is. Such a nice blue, look it up!

 

[MountainMike]

I like Kona blue too... and Grabber blue. But something about Blue Flame just looks right on a pickup.

 

[Andres629]

You're right, Blue Flame is sexxxy. I think your Ranger would look awesome in that color.

 

[MountainMike]

So hopefully the rad should be in the 93 by the end of the week. I found a nice deep snow covered road by the airport I want to push through. I did it when it was shallower and it looks like it will be awesome deep. Hope fully have this thing offroad a little more and go 4x4ing with the Cherokee.

Pictures when you do!

 

[MountainMike]

Hell yeah there will be pics!

its early in the morning and im still half asleep, i was just on facebook for a few mins and came here to read this thread what i missed and i am looking all around for the 'like' button! where the hell is this thing at! hahah

 

[MountainMike]

Haha, nice Jeff.

Little update, rad still isn't in. I'm having some issues getting that done. But I order a set of 06+ mirrors a while ago and they came in today. They are Kool-Vue mirrors from Pro Body Parts and I am really impressed with them. They look just as good as the Ford mirrors, they don't feel cheap at all. I ordered the truck end pigtails so I can convert my wiring over to the newer style wring so nothing is spliced together. It will be able to come apart as if it was factory, plus the added viewing area will be greatly appreciated.

 

[Andres629]

Man, just do the rad yourself. Like... four bolts, two clips and two hose clamps. Done.

 

[MountainMike]

It's not the job it's the time. And don't forget it's an auto. And I'm doing new hoses.

So four bolts, two clips, two lines, two hoses, and four house clamps. Jackass

If all works out I should have it done tomorrow after work, then I can start to deal with that rear main/something in the back of the engine oil leak.

I would love to see a ranger painted blue flame! I might have to steel that one from ya. Nice rig BTW
