PlumCrazy's Build

The hood wont clear the 95+ without pushing it into the fan.

A hammer and some body massaging will fix that.

I think we will just go with the old style air box that sits over the pass wheel.

What about a cowl hood???

Did I miss that you got a 4.0 B2?

The issue is the front right corner by the box. The 93-94 intake will fit perfect.

If you look way back in this thread there is a picture of a B2 that I welded floor pans in for my old boss. My buddy bought it last summer from him. Then we pulled the tired 2.9/a4ld out and it sat for the past year.

This fall we drug it out of the weeds and swapped in a 96 4.0, 93 Ranger dash and harnesses, M5OD, manual t case and stripped the interior. We have an expo disc 8.8 and my old D35 with the dual piston brakes to swap still.

This thing will stay bare bones on 30s for a while. Should be bullet proof with no lift and no weight.

No AC, no EGR, no power locks, seats, windows, cruise etc.

I kind of wish I went the bare bones route on my truck, but then again I like my AC and cruise on those 4 hr drives.lol

Basically I needed someone local to wheel with so I helped him throw this thing together.

It warmed up yesterday and squeezed the truck in the shop.

Got my oil cooler lines 99% done. I just want to get some barb fittings to attach the hose to the hard line.

Looking at the picture, it appears I need to straighten my mounting bracket.lol

And these showed up.

PC... Where can I find the 3/4 x 3/4 x 3/4 z bar you used for your carpet trim? It doesn't have to be stainless... Aluminum would be fine.

Try McMaster-Carr

Ordered a new armrest cover today off eBay, 20 bucks shipped, its factory blue, and its brand new.

Also ordered my fittings for the oil cooler hose to tube connections.

No updates still, but I did sell my 99 Ranger last week and bought another Honda to DD. Once I get the new whip on DD duty officially I will have some updates....big ones.
