1080* :D Great looking rig btw! that's exactly how i started my build! Keep up the good work.

Well i thought I'd step up from the bald 31's i was running to the bald 35's out in my shed. Here are the 31's... Here are the 35's... without trimming the fender... with trimming... And just because this is before and after. Here is what this $700 rig looked like back in...

My guess would be the clock spring in the steering column. Just a guess though if it's not a fuse.

it's for a 95 -97 ford ranger you can find them on Google shopping, or i got mine off e-bay! PA= Performance Accessories brand.

sorry i took so long... This is pretty simple as far as design. Just two 2"x5" 1/4" thick on end with half of some 4" square tube in the middle and a bolt through it welded on the back side. I may make a few more of these when things get slow. I may just do "blanks" though, and not build...

PM's work great too!

All my material is either scrap or drop from other jobs i build. I did have the corner pieces made for me though, from the machine shop down the road (they have a burn table) and that's where the $66 is from. here are some more pics, it's all primered, jut waiting for a nice day to paint it...

those are for my 7" lights!

here's the roof rack i'm building... so far i've got 3 hours and $66 dollors into it. Dimensions are, 47" outside to outside width 68" outside to outside length 5" overall hight plate is 3/16" Tube is 3/4" sq .063 wall Only thing left to do is finish mounting hardware and build the...

Those Plastic squeegies made for laying on decals without air bubbles work great for sliding in behind trim to remove. they flex and are plastic so they're easy on paint. -jason

You should paint it the same color as the explorer, red. I think that looks best. -jason

it's a carriage bolt that helps hold the tire on the plate while threading the wing nut on. ( kinda cheese, but not permanent) On the front of that plate is a piece of tube that's that has an outside dia. equal to the inside dia. of the hole for the hub (to keep the rim centered on the plate)...

well, just making one for now. I'll see how it turns out, if there is any interest, maybe more, but i imagine shipping would kill. It's kinda like a range rover type i saw. about as wide as the explorer and fairly long too. And thanks! I really like these wheels too. Been admiring them...

Well here we are as of today! Just finished up the bumper and tire rack yesterday and got the grill Painted and put back on. Still working on the roof rack. And also got the 16x8 soft 8's yesterday! they are used with 31" swampers. But not for long. the 35's in my shed are for a 16" rim now...

guess i should specfy which extention... l need a pic of one from a PA-853 kit, as my truck is a 97 ex. thanks again

could someone post for me a picture of the steeing extention that comes with the 3" bodylift? my buddy has built two 3" bodylifts on both his rangers out of nylan material and hasn't needed the extention piece, and i've done a 3" on my old 95 bronco and didn't use one and a 2" on my old...

Haha, yeah it's about 22 degrees and 4" of snow! I work in Salem, but live in Dallas, so i took the day off. My wife and i are building and Igloo. we were just taking a break. it's cold! hey enjoy your day!

Sure did. it's (2) grade 8. 3/4" bolts. one's 5 1/2" the other is 3" use the plama to blow a hole in the bottom rail and welded in a sleeve. welded 5/16plate to the upper rail with the nuts welded top and bottom of it, and welded tube around each of them to hide the bolt and add strength...

This is the one i'm buildng, it's almost done, just needs the rim mount finnished. It's mostly trial and error. Unlike the other bumpers i've made, i didn't plan this one out ahead of time, so it's taking longer getting things "right". hope this can give ya some ideas too.

here are some updated pics, it's almost done feels good to be almost done, i've kinda built it as i went. So it's taken longer than the ones where i plan them out first. mostly trial and error on this one. enjoy! -Jason

I think your coils are bowed because they are seated on an incline because of where you did the cut and turn. My beams are cut and turned on the other side of the diff.

if you haven't done it, i'd recomend you replace the whole slave assy. it should come with a throwout bearing. I did a new clutch and tranny swap on my old ranger a few years back, and about 2000 miles of driving it the slave went bad. I think they're like $130 but it's worth every penny not...

yeah! and i figured since it is a daily driver too, and probably will be for a while. If i where to ever get into a wreck, i'd want the bumper to have "some" give to it rather than crinkle the frame up. but it's still very stout! I can always build another bumper. But the frame would never...

bottom tube is 1 7/8" sch40 the other tube is 1 5/8" cq and the reciever is 2 1/2" seamless 1/4 wall. i'm sure it's stout enough. way better than the crap that came off of it for sure. I'm not going to be hauling lots of weight anyhow, Not with an explorer Haha. About the most i'll use the...

not sure if this applies, If i can remember right... in 94 the flat rate time to replace a heater core is like 30 minutes. there was a change in 95 to where it jumps up to like 5 hours or something like that. if that's the case, might want to check a few things first. I'd start with adjusting...
