shits getting real!

awesome job! Have been following your build for a couple years. Keep it up.

Trying to knock a bunch out before our new years trip.

Hopefully last trip to the desert without the truck.

Trans is at maximum getting built. Steering is at PSS, Glass is getting made

Got a bunch of 40s from herbst

What do you think?

 

[LoganB]

Killer work Kevin! Stoked to see you back in the desert soon with a truck again!

This thing is gonna rip! But I’m confused how the harness mount bolts on? What does it bolt to, and why not just weld it on?

 

[mrbrown]

This thing is sooo nice.

I personally think 40's look big on a Ranger... but I could be envious. Probably helps with front end clearance in two track tho...

Definitely envious of your welding skills. That's not even questionable.hahah.

Very nice!

it’s a combination of a few things. I’d already sealed up the floor, so my laziness took over



That area of the floor is where the stock seat belts bolt in, it’s extra thick so it made a good landing pad. The mounts aren’t removable it was literally to index them

Center console is almost useless. Good tunnel for wiring, more of an arm rest than anything

This was fun. Machined/Cut the splined shaft off the column carefully on the lathe, then machined it and an extension piece to lengthen the steering shaft 4 inches since I moved the seats back again.

Made an internal bar to fixture for welding, all said and done It has less than .005” runout when chucked in the lathe

That’s all it’s about. The holes are just getting bigger.

It’s also getting harder to find takeoff 37s, 40s are a dime a dozen. I get these for dirt cheap.

someone was telling me that 42's are being tested/used more now?? Someone make it stop. LOL

PS> never noticed you made an aluminum hat for the spare. small details, love it.
