I have a white fender you could have but the front half is bare metal where the paint burned off.


:eek:

No!!! :eek: Then his car will burn! Look at what happened with the fender off the ex that rolled! :confused:

:D
 






Update

I spent today pulling out the stock front end and getting my track bar mount installed. The coil buckets are ready to go in, and then the front axle. While I was underneath, I grabbed the sledge hammer and made room for the Atlas II t-case and shifters.

AH........ I will get that out.. I didnt realize you work that quickly :) You said no hurry so thats what I was doing. I will try and locate a better way to ship as I cant do the 100.00 dollar UPS route.
 






Oh by the way.... The fender is White :)

I can understand the no UPS thing. I had no idea it would go this quick either, but I enlisted my two nephews who need a senior project for high school and since they go to fifferent schools, they are both helping on this one.

Awesome :D I will gwt a pic of that mounted before my rattle can professional nephew gets a hold of it.
 






Can you post a pic of how you built your coil buckets/shock towers? :) Thanks!

I need to make a set but want to see a good clear pic of what someone else has done before I start wasting metal. :)
 






Update

Tranny is in, rear driveshaft in, brakes bled, and sitting back on her own shoes. All that's left to make her move is T-case linkage. It has a bit of a rough idle, but runs great at higher RPM's. I think it needs a tune up as some of the spark plugs may be fouled.

Mine are pretty basic. The shock mounts are stock F250/F350 shock mounts. The coil buckets are from the 79 type broncos. The lower bolt on the shock mount, which already has hole in it, went to the lower right rivet hole of the stock coil bucket(see last pic).
154MVC-562S.jpg

The coil bucket was cut down(off the bottom) and then the lower left rivet hole of the stock coil bucket was used to center the coil bucket on. On the drivers side, because of the way the frame is shaped, there is basicly only one position that will work properly.

Hope this helps.

Can you tell me who made your steering setup?

Not right now, but I have a PM out to the original owner of it. It came with tdavis's Navajo when I bought it from him. I had to cut it down a little bit to make the steering wheel straight as I think it was originally for an EB or a 79 bronco.
 












Where is the updated pics? I wanna see that white fender :)
 






Update

Sorry it took so long. I couldn't find my red tape. :D

Man i rolled my ranger the EXACT same way you did but it was to the left and i was goin about 15 mph, the funny thing is the front of my roof looked exactly the same from using my hi lift to jack the roof back up. Logging roads and distractions dont mix i guess
