damn thats some clean work! what is that little shock for?! the one attatched to the pan hard bar bracket.

 

[Kevery]

Its actually just mounted to the frame. But, its a shock for the engine so the engine doesn't rock. Because its so bad ass!! lol just kidding all rangers between 98-2000 have them maybe the newer ones as well not sure.

 

[dhkonrad]

Mine has one too, and its a 93.... I think it was maybe just the 4.0s on the early ones
That is really clean, kudos.

 

[Kevery]

thanks guys. and I've only just start. when I find time between my other project Ill start bending some tube.

 

[stiluv]

the shock is on all 4.0's. my 3.0 didnt have one

 

[dhkonrad]

All this talk of epicness inspired me to get off my lazy butt and mock up some radius arms:

I was thinking of doing 5/8 plate for the end, as well as plating the sides of the tubes, but I don't know what size I should use for the tubes. Any thoughts, ideas, comments or suggestions?
(the tubes will also obviously be longer, but that was the longest plastic tube I had....)

 

[legoms013]

5/8" is a bit excessive

 

[Kevery]

2 X 3/8 wall DOM tube with 3/16in plate steel and ford bushings. Ford tuff

 

[dhkonrad]

That was suppoed to be 3/8

 

[Kevery]

That was suppoed to be 3/8

I was wrong once but it was a mistake.

[ben10]

I don't think so, that duct tape is uv resistant!! Putting more on would just add too much weight. Is that a serious offer? I may have to take you up on that offer, cause the only big welder I got is a stick, and I am not super good with it. Got a big MIG?

lol WTF!? mine doesnt have a shock to tame my 4.BEAST... shenanigans! I want one!

Just buy a procomp and slap that on there
