My friend gave me a cool canopy and I’m stoked on it! Will be nice for spectating races down in Mexico. Wasn’t able to make it to the 400 this year but there’s always another race. Want to build a roof rack to mount the canopy and for more storage. Can anyone share designs for ones they’ve...

Made some more progress today. Some access holes for the motor mounts in the frame. Dumb question, is there anything I can get rid of on the 4.0 to clean up the engine bay? I’ve seen other peoples swaps and it does not look as cluttered with wires and hoses like mine does right now. Or do they...

Got the motor 90% of the way mounted. Going to drill an access hole at the bottom of frame rails so i can fasten the motor mounts to frame instead of welding them on. Thinking of doing a "washer" plate around the openings so i can leave the opening in place

Swapping spares isnt really something most people do that often so i think spending a little more time to swap a tire isnt a deal breaker if it means cleaner finished product

Update: Got correct motor mounts! Started chopping off old mounts (the fasteners arent accesible anymore because the frame is plated at the old openings). Planning to tack new mounts in place and place motor over the weekend. After motor is in place, was going to weld them in. Or would it be...

Looks a lil big imo but i like the idea. Im a big fan of keeping as much stuff as possible below the top of bedside, maybe mount somewhere where they wont protrude so much?

Finally got around to building this skid plate LOL. I am building two trucks at the same time (I am autistic) and decided to build this bumper while I wait for motor mounts for my 4.0. SOHC swap in my ranger. I actually built a V1 Skid plate but it had really bad welds and I wasn’t happy with...

Noticed this evening that I got the wrong motor mounts :/ these are for 92-97 rangers and I need the 98+ coil sprung motor mounts. Does anyone have the 98+ 4.0 mounts and would sell or possible trade for these?

Chipping away, was able to pull the old motor and trans out of the truck. Going to start cleaning everything tomorrow or Friday

Parked the truck under the canopy and started to disassemble everything. Goal is to pull the motor sometime this week before Sunday. I really want to stick to a 5-speed but the current M5R1 has the starter on the passenger side and the 4.0. trans has it on the drivers side. Does anyone have the...

Final joyride around the property this past Sunday. The explorer served as an awesome mercado runner and burnout car, but if I don’t pull the motor now I never will. Took this afternoon off work and was able to pull the 4.0 out of the explorer with my buddy.

4.0 Sohc donor vehicle acquired 👌🏽 thing drives tots and rips some fat burnouts. 145k motor and auto trans, I think I want to go the 5 speed route but we shall see. Will be driving this thing around the neighborhood for a week then pulling the motor and getting it prepped for the ranger

CONVINCED. Hijacking your thread, Bronco For Sale. Will Trade for tots explorer.

Coming along nice. Makes me want to sell my bronco and get an explorer just for the two extra doors!
