Thanks boss I would probably gotten it by the weekend but I couldn't wait.

No prob, i may pull it outta trash anyway for future LOL

Got the adapter on. Had to remove the motor mount for it to spin on. Kind of a PITA. But mount went back on fine afterward.

You will need a stock filter adapter from older F150 mine came off inline 6. V8 one should work fine too. Car one should work fine as long as it used FL-300 / FL-1A or PH16 / PH8.
This is what is looks like. As you can see there is no place to put wrench on it. So I used channel locks. Which buggered it up.

Got the filters in. Going have to do a little work to the battery tray to make room. Kinda scary when I fired it up cause took about 10 secs to get oil pressure. LOL

Diff covers...

I've been watching and now I'm out of my league, what exactly does the additional oil filter get you...(please don't just whitily say cleaner oil)

LOL just flows better since they are in line if one gets clogged then other can get the job done. It is really a kick @ss design and can save your engine. My old F250 had dual filters on it. Gives you better oil pressure too. I figured if I was going to the trouble of installing a remote filter I may as well have two.

I used two PH16 filters. But after I get the thing mounted if I have room I will go to two PH8 filter. That way the system will hold more oil and keep the oil cooler.

Box back in. Have to make a little more bracing for it. Pitman arm should work fine.

Stang5lgt · February 24, 2011

Picked up some WJ knuckles, calipers, and caliper brakets today. Now I will have larger rotors and twin piston calipers.

Fits right onto the Dana 30.

I am sure you can make the duff kit work. I had a 93 Ranger I got on trade last year had James Duff Radius Arms. It was pretty sweet truck. I got the truck for 30 bucks. I had put a rear axle in it. I built a Explorer 8.8 disc brakes 5.13 gears. It was missing the Tcase. And I had to find tires. Truck was awesome. 2.3 4 banger so it wasn't a speed demon. LOL

Here is pic of the reason I needed a oil filter relocation kit...

As you can see the filter was right where I needed my steering box.

Make sure you get the jks spacers. Must have on this swap.

mrbird09 · February 25, 2011

those the duff arms on the ranger? looks like a good height..now quik question though...what are the recommended arm length cause the extended arms are $$$ but they look like the ight size..i just dont want to bolt n weld them in place if ima hit the cross memeber or any other obstacles..also how is the 3 link up front i seen james duff made one and i might wanna try it out if it will work with custom installation.

Are you taking about the coil spacers? Right now my ride height is even front and rear. Once I get the bumper built I will add some coil spacers in there to keep it level.

Yes those are Duff arms on the Ranger. Ranger has a 6 inch lift, 3 inch body, and 35s in the pic. I don't know any thing about Duffs 3 link. But I am sure it flexes well. If you get the longer radius arms the ride will be better. Shorter arms don't soak up rough terrain like long arms do.

Hopefully test drive time tomorrow. Track bar is almost done.

Stang5lgt · February 26, 2011

Mercenstein is almost ready to roll...

My creation lives.. Buwhahahahahahahaha.....

Two weeks and a day SAS not bad. If the oil filter wouldn't have slowed me down I would have been done last weekend.
